In reply to: [CSV 2 POST] CSV 2 Post is like Easy CSV importerThanks a lot. Both plugins use a lot of the same functions but the interfaces are very different. They are also being taking in different directions to suit different users.

In reply to: [WordPress Importer] Does not import images & file attachementsWell put jimbox. The plugin needs a troubleshooting guide, a checklist approach covering what developers see as the basics.
Plugins that work with data in a CMS and deal with the core in this manner will never get a lot of support. It’s too time consuming and can be very frustrating.
Hence why there are so many premium solutions in this area.

In reply to: [YouTube Sidebar] Possible changesHey
The black bars simply fill space based on the dimensions set for video size. There may be settings for that, don’t remember. It has been some months since I worked on this plugin and so it is overdue for an update. The dimensions do exist in code and they are meant to exist as UI options. If they don’t they will be added.
As for the play-icon, it depends on what YouTube allows. I don’t remember seeing a YouTube video or any video for that matter without an icon in the middle or a different icon. What one could do is create a video icon that overlays the featured image you upload for a video post. So essentially your displaying a post, a featured image and icon to indicate it is a video. We see this in a lot of themes.
If YouTube or other video services allow a custom icon I’ll be happy to add that ability.
I like the black and white idea. Have you seen this done elsewhere? Again it depends on YouTube ability. I’ve noted this to be followed up when I work on the plugin and look forward to it. I like the idea myself.
I’ll spend a week on it soon.

In reply to: [WordPress Importer] "Failure to import" and "Invalid post type" errorsplease help. Still doing this, does wordpress not care we are going through this.
People do care and they do provide support. But this plugin is of a very technical nature and that is the reason there are so many premium plugins that import data.
WordPress support is massive but not all on this domain. Try sites like Stackexchange.com and for a very small fee ExpertsExchange.com provide great expert support.

In reply to: [WordPress Importer] Not Importing Custom Meta DataTry wrapping the serial string in single quotes to prevent it being escaped. I’m sure I read that it is possible to import a serialized array, just never done it.

In reply to: [WordPress Importer] Not Importing Custom Meta DataTry removing the CDATA and it’s brackets etc. Treat the array as a string.

In reply to: Sectioning Plugin Using Class ProblemWell I think your right thank you for that. Google on this approach isn’t getting a lot of results so hopefully this helps someone else out too.
Thanks again.

In reply to: [PHPBB Single Sign On] Another phpBridge Plugin – Doing ResearchBack again! As I said I’m just looking over approaches and breaking code to get a feel for phpBB being loaded in WordPress. I done this and do not have any errors. However calling a function causes some problems.
function loadphpBBstuff(){ $b = new wpbb_phpBB3(); wpbb_phpBB3::loadConstants(); wpbb_phpBB3::load(); wpbb_phpBB3::phpbbConfig(); global $phpbb_root_path; include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'config.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/utf/utf_tools.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/utf/utf_normalizer.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/db/dbal.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/db/db_tools.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/db/mysql.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/db/mysqli.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/constants.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/auth.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/acm/acm_file.php'); include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/cache.php'); } add_action('admin','loadphpBBstuff');I’ll defo start from scratch but take a similar approach to yourself though so thanks for the plugin.

In reply to: [CSV 2 POST] Applying content template after editingHi
The free edition has no form of updating at all. You are the first to question this actually. We really don’t need the custom post type for content there for anyone using the plugin as it is. The only benefit is copying and pasting a previous template so I would still be careful on my motion to hide the post type.
However we always think about how people may want to hack our plugins.
It would be very easy for a WordPress developer, even a beginner at WordPress who knows enough PHP, to update posts created by CSV 2 POST when updating the template. A WordPress developer could write the function within an hour, to hook into the submission, check the project that uses the template, find all posts created using that template and re-make them.
Posts created by CSV 2 POST have post meta with the required data to make such an upgrade so simple.
Thanks for using the plugin. I was actually working on it today and added dates import to the free edition Quick Start. New version end of August if all goes to plan.

In reply to: [CSV 2 POST] Date ColumnHey
We have a bunch of advanced date options on the paid edition i.e. random dates, incremental dates. So what happened was that the whole dates form was only provided in the premium package.
I’m hoping to add date functionality to the free edition before the month is out. Schedule a few days work on the plugin so anything you think the free should have let me know. There is limits but whenever we improved our premium plugin we like to take the free edition forward a little and give something back to WP community.
Thanks for your feedback.

In reply to: [Easy CSV Importer] This plugin requires PHP 5.3 Upwards“php5.3 was relased on 30-Jun-2009”.
Around 2011 most developers recommended 5.3 and it won’t be long until 5.5 is recommended. I’m stating this due to how many people seem to be reluctant to upgrade. Maybe this is due to past PHP nightmares however these recent versions bring a lot of fixes and are better for development.

In reply to: [Video Blogger] Re-Development Beta – Get StartedThere is a better test post here…
That shows the plugin in action. To see the shortcodes that were used in that post please go here…
It is all very rough at the moment. The plugin is just one week old. We usually wait many weeks before making videos due to rapid changes on the interface etc. However if you feel you need one right now just let us know.
