Recent Anthologize updates

Anthologize, you are neglected, but not forgotten!

In the past week or so, I’ve done two maintenance releases (0.7.2 and 0.7.3) for Anthologize. A few highlights:

  • Fixed some issues with the way TCPDF saves image files in a temporary cache. This should help to avoid the dreaded “TCPDF ERROR: Can’t open image file” fatal error when exporting to PDF on some server configurations.
  • Fixed some issues with the way that Anthologize’s JS and CSS files are loaded, for better compatibility with other plugins and with SSL wp-admin.
  • Fixed a bug that gave non-admins the ability to change settings on some multisite configurations.

Speaking of not forgotten, I haven’t forgotten my friends who supported my Anthologize campaign back in 2012. This post goes out to Eric A Mann, an outstanding WordPress developer and blogger. Thanks for supporting Anthologize, Eric!

Anthologize Dev: Update 1

· Leave a reply

The Anthologize fun has begun!

A few months ago, I held a successful Kickstarter campaign to support some development on Anthologize. In the past week or so, I’ve started work in earnest. This first round of development has consisted of a number of unglamorous but important cleanup tasks. A rundown of what’s been done so far:

  • Improvements to the way that TCPDF stores its cache files, to avoid permissions errors that can mess up PDF export
  • Improvements to the way tags and categories appear in HTML export mode
  • Improved compliance with WordPress coding standards
  • Rewritten plugin initialization, for better stability across various setups and decreased memory footprint
  • Localization improvements
  • Better compatibility with PHP 5.4+

This round of development was brought to you by Siobhan McKeown, an early and enthusiastic supporter of my Anthologize campaign. Siobhan is the proprietress of Words for WP, a delightful consultancy focused on writing documentation, publicity, UX, and other copy for WordPress-based businesses. She’s the best at what she does, and rumor has it that she also has a very famous musician for a cousin. Thanks, Siobhan!
