Web directory

I’ve created a fix for the linkcat issue on submission forms using the Contact Form 7 plugin. The validation error should now be fixed. If anyone using the web directory plugin is still having problems, please post a comment on the plugin’s project page and I’ll see what I can do.

I’ve recently pushed an update to the Web Directory plugin for WordPress that enables people to use the Contact Forms 7 plugin to support link submissions. Several people have been asking me to write a tutorial on how I did it on my Connected Phone web site. This should help some of you to create a submission form and use it with the Web Directory plugin I have created. It’s not a comprehensive tutorial on Contact Form 7. If you need some basic information about the Contact Form 7 plugin, I’ve written a post you can read (WordPress Contact Form 7 plugin: Great for Forms).

I’ve now uploaded an update to the WordPress web directory plugin. The current version 2.6.4 fixes an issue for users trying to install the link directory plugin in a WordPress blog that has been installed in a sub directory. This new version should now work with the situation.

I’ve tested it and it now works for WordPress sites that are installed in subdirectories. If anyone using the plugin still experiences any problems please post a comment. Thanks.

I’ve been working on a new version for the Link Directory WordPress plugin I’ve created. Just to update you of what’s coming. I’ve made some changes to the Web Directory plugin core to allow me to easily add more features in the coming versions. I’ll soon be releasing a beta version for those of you who might want to test it and provide some feedback.

I have uploaded my newest version of the Web Directory WordPress plugin here at Code Stuff and also at WordPress.org. I’ve added a new feature on version 2.6.1 to allow users of the plugin to remove the display of the “Websites/Blogs Under” prefix when displaying the header title for Link Categories. I’ve also tested it for WordPress version 2.8.2.

You can download version 2.6.1 from the Web Directory WordPress plugin project page.

I’ve now uploaded the Web Directory WordPress plugin at the WordPress.org plugin repository. You can now also download it from from its WordPress.org page. If you have questions on using it, just use the Code Stuff contact page or post a comment at the Web Directory WordPress plugin project page.

I have now made available the Web Directory plugin for WordPress. The Link directory is built upon the core WordPress bookmarks functionality. You can manage the links using the existing WordPress functions for adding, deleting and updating bookmarks. It also uses the existing link categories that you create under WordPress.

If you have existing WordPress bookmarks, you can display them as a link directory using the plugin. It also creates search engine friend permalinks using the link category names. For more information and to download the plugin, go to the Web Directory plugin project page. I hope you’ll find it useful as additional feature of your WordPress blog.

I’ve been cleaning up the code of the Web Directory WordPress plugin I’ve created so that I can make it available for download. I decided to start creating this plugin by using the existing core bookmarking code available in WordPress to make it easier for people that have WordPress sites to add a web directory into their blog.

My plan is to create an initial usable version that focuses on simplicity and ease of installation plus optimizing it for search engines thru the use of permalinks. I’ve also added some code so that the page title and description for the categories are properly initialized. This should add more plus points when the web directory gets crawled by the search engines.

I’ve finally segrated the code for a Web directory from the Chameleon WordPress theme and created it into a WordPress plugin. The code is now working in my computer. It uses the internal link tables that WordPress uses for its bookmarks functions instead of creating my own tables. I’m currently testing it and hopefully put it into production on one of my web sites on the Internet.

Over the following days, my goal is to test and clean up the code so that it would be easy for people to put up a web directory on their own blog without to much of a hassle and also keep it working by using available core functions in WordPress instead of re-inventing things. Once I’ve stabilized the initial version, I’ll make it available on my projects page for people to download and use.
