SDAC Plugin Update: SDAC Related Content 2.3.1

Jennifer Zelazny — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 15:13:46 +0000

We just released a new version of our WordPress Related Content plugin. This update is very minor (adds in a div that surrounds all the output) but it will significantly make styling your related results easier.

After you update your plugin – you can control the output by adding something like this to your stylesheet:

#sdac_related_posts h4 {border-bottom:1px dashed #c7c7bb;margin:15px 0 5px 0;padding-bottom:5px;}
#sdac_related_posts ul {margin:10px 0 10px 20px;}
#sdac_related_posts ul li {margin:0 0 3px 0;}

* The code above is what styles the related posts on this site.

bbPress as a Plugin

After completing a site refresh (updated theme, use of custom post type for our portfolio/products), I also decided to migrate from the standalone version of bbPress to the new bbPress plugin. Everything went smoothly and I plan to spend some time customizing the layouts after I read more about best practices. All our forums got imported and are still available at: http://www.sandboxdev.com/forums. Watch for some upcoming posts on how to customize this new version of bbPress.

SDAC Plugin: SDAC Author Search

Jennifer Zelazny — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 09:58:31 +0000

We are happy to announce our latest plugin: SDAC Author Search. This plugin is very simple – it hooks into get_search_form() function and if the user on the site is logged in – they can search for posts that are written only by themselves. This is very handy for large sites with several authors. This plugin gives the authors a much more refined search if they need to quickly search through their posts only.

Background

Awhile back – I wrote a post about searching in certain categories with WordPress. One of the comment authors asked for a way to do this by author instead of by category. I promised a followup and I finally got some extra time to put something together in the form of this plugin. Thanks for the comments and suggestions – keep them coming!
