Post-Thumb Revisited: testers for version 3 (alpha tests)?

alpha I’ve started to work on next major release of PTR. It is designed to work best with WordPress 2.5 and will process differently. Features are:

  • lighter.
  • much less server resources used.
  • performances should even or beat current version.
  • no more of this wicked table to handle in options.
  • all non-core functions have been moved to a separate customizable plugin.
  • admin screen more in line with WP2.5 design.
  • thumbnails can be linked to nothing (link=n).

So far, I have implemented most of the current features. It misses mainly the random, the slideshow and a great part of the widgets.

It is still under development (alpha version), so if anyone would be brave enough to test it and give me some feedback, I'd be grateful.

It can be downloaded here: Post-Thumb (643)

    what about multi-langueage support?
    i (and other users) can help you translate this great plugin.

  2. xorsyst Says:

    Does this version require at Wordpress 2.5 and not the earlier version? Just curious because I wanted to try this out to see if Easytube support works, however I got an activation error and I’m just making sure its not specifically for WP 2.5.

  3. alakhnor Says:

    Rami>there’s a po file in the language directory.
    Xor> do you have an error message at activation? I’ve run it under WP2.5. Which WP version are you running?

  4. xorsyst Says:

    I tried it on 2.3.3, and got an error message when I was activating the 2nd Post thumb plugin in the list.

    I forget which exact one as I have went back to a CVS version of post-thumb revisited. However I do know it was the 2nd plugin in the list of 4 plugins to be activated from Post Thumb.

  5. alakhnor Says:

    The first you should activate is “Post-Thumb Revisited” version 2.3.

  6. ana cancela Says:

    I love this plugin and it works fine, but since I installed the previous version with wp 2.3.3, post thumb was enable to create test thumbs. Now I update to wp 2.5 and run the last version of post thumb but I can’t install, it gives me the following mesage:
    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_recent_thumbs() (previously declared in /home/artimanh/public_html/wp-content/plugins/post-thumb/post-thumb-plugins.php:36) in /home/artimanh/public_html/wp-content/plugins/post-thumb/post-thumb-recent.php on line 82

    I’m very sad because I like it very much :-(
    Can you help me?

  7. alakhnor Says:

    If you’re talking about the version in this post, it’s not the last version but the next one (for alpha tests).
    Do not activate the “post thumb recent” plugin and the “post thumb plugins” plugin at the same time.

  8. AvataraPL Says:

  9. alakhnor Says:

    It works for me with ngg 0.92. Do you have a link to see it?

  10. AvataraPL Says:

    So, nng 0.92 and 0.93.

    I switch off plugin ngg, I start:
    1) “Post Thumb Plugins”
    2) “Post Thumb Revisited”
    3) “Post Thumb widgets”
    1,2,3 = ok

    I start nng now:
    1) “NextGEN Gallery” - ok
    2) “NextGEN Gallery Widget” - error

    LOGS:
    “[DATE LOGS APACHE] [error] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare widget_show_ngg_slideshow() (previously declared in /xxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/nggwidget.php:85) in /xxxl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/nggwidget.php on line 85″

  11. alakhnor Says:

    Ah yes. I guess that’s a problem with the widget.
    You can correct this. In nggwidget.php, add this line:

    if (!function_exists('widget_show_ngg_slideshow')) {

    before line 86

    function widget_show_ngg_slideshow($args) {

    Then add:

    }

    line 145, after:

    register_sidebar_widget(array('NextGEN Slideshow', 'widgets'), 'widget_show_ngg_slideshow');
    register_widget_control(array('NextGEN Slideshow', 'widgets'), 'widget_control_ngg_slideshow', 300, 200);
    }

  12. AvataraPL Says:

    I altered nggwidget.php. It acts correctly.

    When next extradition is version 3 ?
    I have problem PTR it does not generate miniatures still.

  13. yoichi Says:

    Hi alakhnor,

    I don’t think I’m qualified as an alpha tester. I’ll probably be bombarding you with silly questions :-(
    But I am looking forward for version 3!

    On another note, Jeroen Wijering just updated his media player to 3.16 with lots of fixes and additional functionality.
    http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_FLV_Media_Player

    Will your version 3 be supporting this new media player? I can’t get it to work with 2.2.1.b. And I also want to try out their new ad solution.

  14. MGS Says:

    First of Thank you for the great plugin, please I need some help, is there a way to use 2 different Thumbnails sizes in home page, some thing like using 350-200 Thumbs for featured posts in top and 100-60 Thumbs down in other place in the same home page, I have now one of theme working , can’t see any way to make both of them work, maybe Post Thumbnail can do some thing for that, like using different code for it ?
    Waiting your reply
    Merci again .

  15. giles Says:

    works well - php5 / wp 2.5 / custom theme. Thankyou very much!

  16. alakhnor Says:

    AvataraPL> do you have a link to see you website?
    Yoichi> You’ve been a valuable user so far ;)
    For Jeroen’s player: this will now be a wordTube follow up. PT3 will use wordTube core function to display video and will so follow all wordTube evolution.
    About wordTube: next version will add tag management and include some of the recent features of Jeroen’s player (it will use tag to display recommendations at the end of videos). Youtube and advertisement will probably be in the todo list :)
    MGS> check the forum ;)
    giles>thanks for the feedback. :)

  17. Bernardo Says:

    How can you make it only display the link to the thumbnail? Because I want to use it in a style, and + get in the way of that :(

    Great work - I just need this to work a bit differently :/

  18. Bernardo Says:

    Disregard the comment above - found this:

    thumb_url.”; ?>

  19. AvataraPL Says:

    Hey.

    PTR run ok.

    The problem the state the using the rewrite of module (for Apache 1.3 and 2.x).

    Standard record in virtuals apache for rewrite this:

    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride FileInfo

    Record of file .htaccess:

    RewriteEngine He
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{ REQUEST_FILENAME } !-f
    RewriteCond %{ REQUEST_FILENAME } !-d
    RewriteRule . / index.php [L]

    From rewrite_mod PTH does not generate miniatures.

  20. alakhnor Says:

    So you’re saying the rewrite prevent PTR from generating thumbnails?

  21. AvataraPL Says:

    Hey.

    Bug from rewrite remove from PTR alpha 3.

    It thanks :)

  22. alakhnor Says:

    So what was the bug?

  23. jussi Says:

    Hey, I know this is slightly off topic, but what’s the likely compatibility with Wordpress MU? I tried the 2.2 version ,and ran into serious troubles..

  24. alakhnor Says:

    I couldn’t say. I know some guys has used v2.2.1 with little modifications but I can’t really say more about WPmu as I’m really not into it.
