Opt-in email notifications would be great, also having the plugin author notified whenever there’s a new topic started on their plugin.

+1 for both of these ideas especially the plugin part.

It would be nice to have a page where I can view a list of all threads tagged with a plugin name that I have uploaded to the directory. I hacked together a solution that works pretty well for the time being, but it would be great if ww.wp.xz.cn provided this functionality for all plugin developers.

Also, I would like to see better ordering of threads that I have replied to on my forum profile page. I would assume that I should see a list of threads sorted in descending order by “last active thread”. This only kinda works… I still find threads with newer replies on page 2 than on page one… there is|must be|could be|seems to be a ghost in the machine.

Thanks for everything!

Not as of yet… still on my list of things to do! I started to update this plugin last night, but got side-tracked figuring out how to shorten the descriptions while viewing multiple terms in the administration panels…. took a bit more time than I expected!

Unfortunately, I was unable to find an action that fires where I need -> This means that I will need to rewrite the functions that display the box, which may take a while to perfect. Will keep you posted.

Ron,
If you would like to email me your plugin file or paste the code to pastebin, I would be happy to take a look at what might be going wrong for you. The plugin was developed on 3.0-beta2-14960 but I do not believe that the version would be a problem, because it works smoothly on 2.9.2.

is_taxonomy is a rather simple function that looks a bit like this:

function is_taxonomy( $taxonomy ) {
	global $wp_taxonomies;
	return isset($wp_taxonomies[$taxonomy]);
}

The only way that it would return false is if your custom taxonomy does not exist in the global array $wp_taxonomies.

Which leads me to wonder if there is a problem with the code you used to create your taxonomies. Here is how I hook into wordpress to create my taxonomies and post types via functions.php. I don’t know if this is the ‘proper’ way to do things, but I have experienced success with it.

add_action( ‘init’, ‘mfields_create_custom_post_types’, 0 );
add_action( ‘init’, ‘mfields_create_taxonomies’, 1 );

I hook into the “init” action and register the post types, before I register the taxonomies for them.

Hope this helps,
-Mike

ronbme,
Thanks for pointing this out. I needed to add a new file for 3.0 support and it was checked in my svn client. Should be there in a few minutes.

This should steer you in the right direction:

if( is_tax() ) {
    global $wp_query;
    $term = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
    $title = $term->name;
}

The following properties will be available for the $term object:

term_id
name
slug
term_group
term_taxonomy_id
taxonomy
description
parent
count

Yes, I think that this would be a great addition to the plugin. I will have to look into this for a future release! I can probably get things rolling this week or early next week. Thanks for you kind words and the awesome donation!!!

Thanks Sam!
