WordPress plugin: Feedkillah
Update (2010-01-09): So turns out wpengineer.com had this figured out a while back (i.e. October 2008). Regardless, it was a good opportunity for me to dig into the WordPress core and figure out what’s going on.
…or in “proper” English: Feed Killer.
Basically, a small plugin to disable all your feeds on your WordPress install, for whatever crazy reason; we don’t judge (much). This is a result of a question by @wesbos.
There’s also a non-plugin version if you don’t want to go the plugin route (for whatever crazy reason; again, we don’t judge (extensively)). Just add the code to your theme’s functions.php file.
See below or download from gisthub.

Edit Flow/WordPress Idea: User Directory
Update: sorry, should have pointed out that this idea was inspired by wireframes posted by Anthony Pesce (of the Populous project).
Here’s an idea that I thought might be a useful addition to Edit Flow especially once we add in User Group functionality. The main premise is to have a full-out User Directory accessible by logged in users that provides easy access to contact information for other users on the site. Would probably only be useful for larger groups using WordPress, but I’d imagine would still come in handy for newsrooms and such.

WordPress Plugin: Plugin Notes
This is the outcome of a couple of hours of Friday night coding after an open call by Chris Coyier over at Digging into WordPress. Here’s what Chris asked for:
Ever look through your list of plugins and forget just exactly what one of them does? I know they have descriptions next to them, but that doesn’t always speak to exactly what you are using it for and why. This plugin would just put a text field in each plugin field you could type some notes in there, theoretically to keep information about why and how you are using this plugin.
And since I was bored (and thought this was a pretty useful idea), I delivered. Plugin Notes is exactly what it sounds like.
Once you install and activate, the plugin adds a link “Add plugin note” that lets you add in a little note next to each plugin. It’s totally ajaxified and full of cool goodness. (Unfortunately, I was a bad programmer and didn’t make plugin gracefully degrade when javascript is turned off. Sorry, folks. Maybe next time.)
Plugin Notes: adding a note is easier than milking a cow.
When a note is added, it shows up inside a little blue box and includes the name of the user that added the note as well as the date and time when the note was added. You also get handy dandy options to “Edit” or “Delete” notes.
WordPress plugin: Plugin Notes - blue boxes make things look pretty.
Each plugin can only have one note. I can imagine there would be cases where multiple notes may come in handy, but those would be rare so I’m passing on that functionality.
The plugin is pretty simplistic, and unlikely to see any future feature additions (unless someone really, really wants one). I’ll keep a watch for compatibility with future versions of WordPress though, so rest easy.
Excited, enough? Grab Plugin Notes (from the WordPress Plugin Directory) or download it from within WordPress.
Note: you’ll need PHP5 and a javascript-enabled browser for the plugin to work.

Hey I know it’s no longer super fresh but had you gotten back to Coyier about this? Get a response?

Mohammad Jangda
Yeah, I’d messaged him, but he was never able to get it to work. I found the probably error a month or two later but never messaged him back. Might be worth it now.

Edit Flow Project: Stage 1 beta release
Note: this is cross-posted from a post that I wrote on the CoPress blog.
This past weekend, we released the beta version of Stage 1 (Custom Post Statuses) of the Edit Flow Project, a plugin aiming to improve the WordPress Admin Interface for a multi-user newsroom’s editorial workflow.
The main goal of this stage was to “improve posts statuses by allowing custom statuses.” WordPress, by default, only allows for two statuses for posts during the editing process: “Draft” and “Pending Review”. These statuses are not very descriptive nor do they make it easy to track a story as it moves through a newsroom’s often complex, multi-level workflow.
With the release of Stage 1 of Edit Flow, WordPress users can now assign custom statuses to posts, giving them more control over the state of their content.

I need to display multiple author bios on one page. At this point, I am trying this code:
…which gets me nothing. How can I do this in order to display the bios of two or more authors one after another?

1.- Only admin can change the “default_author”.
2.- A user can only delete himself (if he is not the default_author).Maybe in the options.

Co-Authors Plus v1.1.3 released
Today, I released the first public version of the Co-Authors Plus plug-in for WordPress, which allows multiple authors to be added to Posts and Pages. The plug-in is an extension of the Co-Authors plug-in created by Weston Ruter.
The plug-in is a result of a this conversation, namely how to deal with users as your userbase grows, a genuine problem facing newspapers, magazines, and community sites using WordPress, and a problem I’ve been toying with for a while now while working on website for The Boar.
Currently, WordPress allows only a single author per Post/Page. Weston’s plugin fixed that problem. However, the other design problem it failed to overcome was the usage of drop-downs to assign users to Posts/Pages. Once you scale up to 10+ users, this starts to become unmanageable (and when you start pushing 100+ it really becomes a problem).¬† Granted, the typical blog would not deal with this problem. Granted, the design is only a problem when you dealing with a large number of users, and therefore not something the average blog would worry about.
So, what’s the main difference between Co-Authors and Co-Authors Plus?
The most notable difference is the replacement of the standard WordPress authors drop-downs with search-as-you-type/auto-suggest/whatever-you-call-them input boxes. As a result, major bits of the JavaScript code was changed to be more jQuery-friendly. Eventually, I hope to include the ability to add new Users from within the Edit Post/Page screen, to fix another piece of broken workflow, and possibly Gravatar support.

I haven’t tried Co-Authors Plus yet, but the improvements you describe are much needed. Thanks for doing this! Should I be able to switch to your plugin from the original Co-Authors without disrupting anything?
-
mo
Yep, you should be able to switch over without problems. Let me know how it goes.

Andrew
Nice work Mo. I can’t wait to install it and get it running. Should solve a lot of our issues with multiple authors.
-
Luke
Is there a reason why I can’t remove the ‘admin’ author from posts (that I posted as admin but don’t want attributed to me)?
-
mo
Hi Luke,
You can click on the default author (‘admin’) and type in a new author to change it. If that doesn’t work, then it’s likely a bug. If so, email me some more details (browser, OS, etc.) and I’ll take a look.
Thanks,
Mo

Hi !
I use your Plugin, but sometimes it doesn’t work. I don’t get any authors.
I also need an extension to your plugin (i would pay for this).
I have a journalistic blog. So we have one who write the text and some others who shoot the fotos.
Now i want display both. The Text author (the ‘normal’ author of the post) and the additional authors.
I i search for an author, all (text and foto) authors have to be used.Is this possible ?
regards

i am using the the_author() tag under the iterate loop.
which returns me to the name of the author.is there a tag that i could use to get the author’s user id.
I am using buddypress and want the coauthors to be linked to the buddy press member page and not the author post archive-
here is what i have got for now –
count() == 1 ? ‘Author: ‘ : ‘Authors: ‘;
$i->iterate(); ?>
<a href="http://intranet.nfshost.com/members/“>
iterate()){
print $i->is_last() ? ‘ and ‘ : ‘, ‘; ?>
<a href="http://intranet.nfshost.com/members/“>

I’ve been meaning to respond to this for two days (aka it’s been an open tab in my browser). In short, I think the idea of a user directory is really cool. Even cooler: you’d be able to access it from your phone while you’re on the go. I think we should shelve it for sometime in the future, however, because there is more important functionality integral to the workflow bits.

Oh, another idea that would be really badass: syncing with Google Contacts, or the ability to enable an LDAP server. It would be amazing if this information could be accessible in my Address Book or on my iPhone

Hey, I’m currently looking for something like this.
A nice feature I could use would be to have kind of like an internal guestbook which does additionally send a new entry to all users. I thought of using a private page and a comment email plugin, but if we could do it like this it would be awesome.
Make it opensource and I’ll contribute :)
