An interface for WP2PDF

UPDATE: I am no longer maintaining this hack.  I haven't touched it in 2 years, and don't intend to.  My apologies to those who come here looking for help, but I just don't have the time to work on all the plugins and hacks that I have released over the years.  If someone else would like to take over development be my guest.

I really have begun to dig WP2PDF by theWalrus over at the www.thewalrus.info/.

Apart from a couple of small gripes from yours truly, I have found this software to be excellent and way more fun than allowed by law.  The only problem I could see was to really use it to its fullest you (the site author/admin) had to do alot of work, manually adding links here and there.

So I decided to throw together the following plugin, that currently gives your site visitors an easy to use interface to WP2PDF, allowing them and you to get more out of this great little piece of hackage.  Currently the interface is limited to creating a PDF by year, and creating one by month.  In the next version I plan to include by author and possibly by category, and probably someway to combine them, so if you want to have a PDF of all the posts that author a made in month b, under category ( c ) you could easily do that.

This plugin is pretty straightforward, all you need to do is edit the $wp2pdfpath="/pdfstuff/wp2pdf";bit and away you go.  Please note, I have my server set up to run without file extensions, so your $wp2pdfpath would be more like this:$wp2pdfpath="/pdfstuff/wp2pdf.php";Later.

Another day, another plugin...

Yeah, this is a new/reformatted hack and or plugin for WordPress.  A little while ago I released a ported hack to give you a live preview for your comments.  It has been picked up by a lot of sites, I am pretty happy about it really.

The devs have not gotten around to adding back in any kind of preview for new posts to WP(with good reason, they are pounding away at some good features.) a user on the forums wondered if my hack could implemented for the post/edit system.  Good question; so I took up the challenge and while I was at it converted the hack to a plugin to make it more user friendly.  So now I have real time preview in my comments box and the admin interface, pretty spiffy.

If you would like to tackle adding this to your WP installation, you can find the fully commented plugin file over here.

Enjoy.

Back from the abyss!

Greetings and salutations!  I know it has been awhile since last I wrote, but Mr. Hib Gib has been filling the void quite nicely I think.

Todays entry will be short and sweet, since I am swamped at work and at home, but I wanted to chime in here at the end of Bright Week and simply say,

Christ is Risen!  Indeed He is Risen!

What can I say, Holy Week this year was the greatest week of my life, never has the ressurection and triumph of Our Lord over death so real and meaningful to me.  Well I need to go for a bit, I am going to work on a bigger post over the next few days, so stay tuned.
