Voice Feedback Option Added

admin — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 18:40:37 +0000

We’ve added voice feedback to lates version of our site (not quite up yet), but is you’re in a hurry to call us. You can give it a try here:

This is powered by Google Voice. I’m not sure if you can get in on the service yet unless you’re along time user of Grand Central as I am, but it’s a cool update of the old Grand Central Service.

Version 0.06 Released

admin — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 02:13:13 +0000

I just released version 0.06. There are two New features:

1. Quick code generator

I tried to make something available to users that are not ready to sign-up for an account yet. I hope it enough for them to get more interested and not just dismiss it as to very simple tool.

2. WordPress 2.8 code generator option

WordPress 2.8 is adding a whole new way of supporting widgets with the new WP_Widget class. I’ve took a stab at creating a generator for this way of doing things as well. That’s one of the great things about having a generator like this is that now you can generate your Widget in both ways. You don’t have to figure out each way.

I’m still having a tough time getting the details of what the WordPress code wants from a plugin. For example here’s the notes for parameters to the constructor of the WP_Widget class.

var $id_base; // Root id for all widgets of this type.
var $name; // Name for this widget type.

What is a widget type exactly? What do you want it to be? What name space is it in?

I guess this is why I created this service in the first place. If was easy to figure out than I wouldn’t have wanted to create a tool that lets me easily take care of all the details from me. All I have to do is figure it all out once. And for you it should just work.

Plus few other tweaks where added here and there in these release.

Instant Wordpress Widget Builder

I’m working on an instant wordpress widget builder. I’ve stripped away most of the options and allow people to use it without logging in. This will give people an idea of how the widget builder works, but does not have all the features you get when you have an account and are logged in. Most significantly you can go back and edit your widget. Also you won’t be able to regenerate you widget if we make improvements to the generator. The generator create a new widget every time it runs so if we upgrade our system your widgets can easily but updated.

Version 0.04

Now your widget will have the ability for your users to chance the default title what appears on their site.

Google search was added.

Some other cosmetic changes.

Editable Titles Coming Up

admin — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 22:19:53 +0000

I’m working on editable titles so stay tuned. The title field will not be used as the default title. The user of your widget does not need to change the title, but now they can. This is all code created by the tool. You don’t need to do anything.

admin — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 17:36:41 +0000

Another new version is up and running.
Fixed bug for After Title
Updated the look
Corrected some spelling
Add google analytics

V0.02 is up and running

admin — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 20:38:04 +0000

I just updated the site to another verion. There is way more info now and you have two chances to give us feed back. I’m using GetSatisfaction.com and UserVoice.com. I’ll see how it goes and probably drop one or the other or both.

.02

admin — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 03:29:18 +0000

We’re working on new version of the site. The actual tool is not changing much, but I am providing more information for new users to the site.

You’ll have to wait awhile if you need basic Wordpress widget information.
