WordPress ESV Plugin 3.3.0
July 5, 2008 – 7:43 pmAnnouncing WordPress ESV Plugin version 3.3.0. This is my first update in a while and not much has changed. A few tweaks were made to the options page and a minor tweak for XHTML validation.
One word about installing this release. Keep reading after the instructions for more details about this release.
Instructions
All of the files for this plugin are now contained within the wp-content/plugins/esv/ directory. If you upgrade to 3.3.0 from a previous version you will need to remove wp-content/plugins/esv.php.
Changes
One big change is the downloads will now be hosted using the WordPress Plugin Database. The ESV Plugin now has its own page there: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/esv-plugin/. The main advantage this offers is automatic updates if you are using WordPress 2.5 (I think it also works with 2.3). Just visit the Plugins section of your dashboard and it will notify you if any of your plugins can be upgraded.
(Tippy users: I have also put Tippy on the WordPress database: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tippy/)
For the options, the biggest change is the addition of the Flash and MP3 types for the Audio format. If you ever use this plugin to include Block or Inline text and you have it display a Listen link, I highly recommend you try out the Flash format. It is quite nifty! For a demo, click the Listen link below.
12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. 14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler. 16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name. 17 For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18 And
“If the righteous is scarcely saved,
what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”
19 Therefore let those who suffer according to God’s will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good. (ESV)

Thanks for keeping this plugin up-to-date. It’s one of my favorite plugins and I like the new features. Any chance of including the “listen” option to the tooltip?

Possible, but it would require a sticky tooltip. I’ll look into it.
I am pondering some tweaks with the next Tippy that might make a listen link even more useful.
