UTW in Themes + WordPress 2.3 A Go-Go.

Exciting news, boys and girls. The paint, she is drying on my latest Thing.

UTW Theme Compatibility Thing is now available for the ol’ download. If you have a wordpress theme which has UTW_ShowSomething function calls in it, this is a great plugin for you.

If you’re showing icons anywhere, there’s a little extra step you’ll need to do so that the icon URLs go to the right place; but otherwise, just disable UTW, import your tags into wordpress (if you haven’t already), then enable the compatibility plugin.

Oh, and if you miss the admin functions of UTW, I have a fabulous plugin, Tag Managing Thing which does much of the same.

WordCamp Melbourne. Yay!

So yes. I am going to WordCamp Melbourne, which is happening on November 17th. There’s an Upcoming page for it. And, uh. Yeah. That’s about it, really (:

If there is anything that you’d like me to waffle about, or otherwise form a presentation on; you should let me know. I know I know all sorts of things, but I don’t know what I know (:

My Code. Mine!

1. If you are going to lift functions from UTW / WordPress Things to use in your own plugins, it is polite to ask first. Really, I would prefer you didn’t. Tag rendering stuff in particular was created through blood, sweat, tears, sheer will; and not to mention a fricken year of evolution. It makes me upset when parts of it get lifted because of the enormous effort that went into it.

2. If you are going to lift functions from UTW / WordPress Things to use in your own plugins without asking first, it is extremely impolite to leave comments linking to your plugin on my plugin posts.

Ultimate Tag Warrior: Please Read!

Ultimate Tag Warrior is unsupported with WordPress 2.3. WordPress 2.3 does, however, have a thingy for importing UTW tags into WordPress.

You should do that (:

Then, you should have a look at WordPress Things. Some of them cover UTW functionality. There will be a plugin for the UTW template tags.. soon.. which should allow theme stuff to keep on working; but alas, there are still many kinks to iron out. Check back in a week for that one (:
