Re: Any interest in these plugins?
sifr headline!
if i ever get the time, i’m hoping to finish a single-js-file merging of sIFR, IFR & Geoff Stearns’ flashObject, as i find myself using at least two on many of my sites/pages. so hopefully – again, assuming i ever get back to it – we can collaborate on plugin-izing it.

Re: Any interest in these plugins?
Just letting you know I’m still working on these!
I “Misunerestimated” how long getting things to work under clean/messy URLs, Apache/IIS, different versions of TXP etc….
Anyway, I hope to at least be releasing “most_popular_articles” by tomorrow.
>>can you email the plugin to me?
Nah, because once I email it to one person…
>>we can collaborate on plugin-izing it
Sounds cool!
Anyway, life away-from-the-computer calls me.

Re: Any interest in these plugins?
hi Adrian, once you (and anyone working with you) gets those plugins together, perhaps you’d be willing to post them up at Textpattern Resources so the community can find them?
and actually, if you’d like to list the ones you’re working on, with a bit of description about them, and categorize them under “In the hopper” as plugins that are not complete but that are being developed, then that could be useful too…
drop me an email if anything… ‘couldn’t find an email link for you…
thanks :)

Re: Any interest in these plugins?
Just a quick note: sifr_headline sounds a lot like zem_ir which is already finished and works quite well. If my lousy hoster would support GD2 i would’ve been using it already.
So maybe you can spare your work and finish most_popular_articles and autolinks, which would be both interesting for me :)

Re: Any interest in these plugins?
OK hpw_most_popular_articles should be good to go.
You will also need my shared library
Pretty easy to install – just use:
<ol><txp:hpw_most_popular_articles wraptag="li" limit="10" /></ol> to create an ordered list of the top 10 most accessed articles.
Each article gets its title displayed in a link to the article URL. Hopefully the article URL works in both clean and messy modes.
The attribute wraptag can be used to specify which html element will wrap around the article link, while the limit attribute determines how many articles will be displayed — eg top 5, top 10.
I’ve tested in the RC2 mod by Manfre under Apache and IIS.
Any problems, let me know!
Enjoy
Next up, autolinks.

Yeah, they’re both solutions to the same problem. However, if I remember correctly, one problem that PHP generated images aren’t too good at solving is wrapping text across multiple lines. This is something sIFR can do. There are other advantages to siFR such as a smaller bandwidth hit, user-selectable text (albeit clunkily) and hover colours. Of course, there are disadvantages too which may make zem_ir a better option… but it’s all about choice!

Will do!

Re: Any interest in these plugins?
SIFR and zem_ir are two ways of solving the same issue. Frankly I’m more leaning toward zem_ir right now (thinking that server side code and client side .png is more accessible than javascript/flash) but it has its drawbacks too.

Is this plugin supposed to work under RC3?
Installed it and the shared library… but no output from the tag…
Anything in particular I should check?
Thanks.

I haven’t tested this specifically in RC3, in fact I haven’t even tried RC3 yet! I just assumed RC3 was backwards compatable with oldschool plugins.
It might be something else though, do you have logging enabled in your preferences?
