Announcing WordPress ESV Plugin 3.5.0
Posted by Chris in ESV Plugin on July 15, 2008
A busy day for plugins! With the release of Tippy 3.0.3 I am also releasing WordPress ESV Plugin 3.5.0. The main change with this version is to take advantage of the new ability for users to interact with tooltips, allowing you to include a listen link within your tooltips:
To make use of this new feature you must also install the new Tippy.
Get the WordPress ESV Plugin from its page, Tippy from its page.
Announcing WordPress ESV Plugin 3.4.1
Posted by Chris in ESV Plugin on July 15, 2008
Be sure and grab the just-released WordPress ESV Plugin 3.4.1. This release sees a couple of bug fixes and a little more cleaned up code. Also I can confirm the plugin works with the new WordPress 2.6.
Grab the plugin from the WordPress ESV page or if you were already running 3.3.0 you should be able to upgrade directly from your WordPress plugin page.
Fixes:
- Fixed a bug where using the plugin in Static mode would cause a problem on lines that contained both a Scripture reference and some other link.
- With version 3.3.0 the plugin name and directory changed slightly but I neglected to update the link to the Scripture CSS file. Somehow I never noticed the passages were not being formatted properly. CSS file is now properly linked.
WordPress ESV Plugin 3.3.0
Posted by Chris in ESV Plugin on July 5, 2008
Announcing 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)
WordPress ESV Plugin, Tippy Plugin and WordPress 2.5
Posted by Chris in ESV Plugin, Tippy Plugin on May 19, 2008
I had previously mentioned on the ESV Plugin page that the plugins only partly worked with WordPress 2.5. Since then I have tried it out some more and have not had any trouble with the plugin itself.
There is the possibility of quirky behavior if you use the visual editor, the esvbible tag, and you have the esv plugin process your posts when you save them. Even then the problem only shows up when you edit posts you had previously saved. The visual editor likes to reformat links so it might interfere with links generated for inline or block passages. This problem is not new with 2.5, it has always been present.
New WordPress ESV and Tippy Plugins
Posted by Chris in Blog News, ESV Plugin, Tippy Plugin on December 8, 2007
Announcing WordPress ESV Plugin 3.2.1 and Tippy 2.0.1. Both updates contain minor bug fixes. There was a problem with IE users that the tooltip set to display on hover would fail to display. I try not to growl at Microsoft too much, but the problem was with IE failing to recognize valid CSS and Javascript. The change should work now, at least with IE 7. Any IE 6 users out there, please let me know if it fails to work.
There were a couple of other minor glitches that were my own fault.
I've had one report of a strange problem that I haven't yet been able to track down. One user reported that when he installed the plugin he no longer had access to his admin tools. I have not been able to duplicate the issue. Has anyone else had the problem? Please let me know what version of WordPress you have installed, whether you installed both Tippy and the ESV Plugin, and what web browser/browser version you were using. Thanks!
Edit:
I'm sure you all can find them, but I forgot to link to the plugin pages:
