We’ve just created a new widget, one that displays recent posts from a selected category, with TimThumb-resized images extracted from the Media Library.

Here are a couple of screenshots:

Image resize plugin

We’ve just finished a new plugin: one that integrates the image resize script TimThumb with TinyMCE, the WYSIWYG editor that WordPress uses.

You can download it here via the official WordPress repository.

This is the little resize button:

New Plugin: Talky WordPress

We have a new plugin, one that makes WordPress talk! It adds talky sound events for publishing and deleting posts or pages, plugin activation and deactivation and theme activation.

It uses SoundManager 2 for playing sounds using JavaScript, by wrapping and extending Flash 8’s sound API.

You can grab it at the official WordPress plugin repository.

WP Post Sorting Plugin

It all started a couple of days ago, when we were working on an aquarium fish website, and we had some trouble while trying to sort posts within certain categories alphabetically.

We found a plugin called Sort Category Posts By Title that seemed to be just what we needed, but when using it only with specific categories, it wouldn’t work if pretty permalinks were activated.

We also tried Sobek’s Posts in Category, but found out that, even though it still gets about 10 downloads each day, it does not work for WordPress 2.6.3 or higher.

Fortunately, about that time we stumbled upon the Custom Queries page in the Codex, the ‘encyclopedia of WordPress knowledge’. That’s where we found out that there exists a hook called ‘posts_orderby’ designed to do exactly what we needed.

So we figured that since we’re planning to be using more of WordPress in the future as a general purpose Content Management System, we could also contribute by writing this much needed post sorting plugin.

You can download via the official WordPress plugins repository.
