I’ve had a stab at a WordPress plugin for embedding Wikimedia URLs: https://github.com/samwilson/embed-wikimedia It’s of course just a draft and proof-of-concept and beta and rough at the moment. It only supports Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons; I’m going to add Wikidata next, I think, and then Wikisource (although that will mostly be a reformatted version of […]

Embed Piwigo now has a home on WordPress.org, and I’ve announced it on the Piwigo forum. And you’ll notice it’s got a new name! It seems that WordPress plugins aren’t allowed to begin with a trademark, so piwigo-embeds was pooh-poohed and embed-piwigo suggested instead. Now I want to make sure the caching is okay, and […]

Here’s my first draft at making Piwigo sites embeddable in WordPress: github.com/samwilson/piwigo-embeds ‘Embed’ here is what WordPress calls the ability to add a URL of a site on its own line in a post or page, and for a nice rendering of the site at that URL to be provided automatically. It works with core […]

I fixed a bug in Tabulate last night, and released version 2.10.3. I’ve rather been neglecting this project for a while, so it’s been nice to come back to it. There are a few things that I might try to get done on it in the next few days or weeks (starting with more documentation). […]

I’ve removed Tabulate’s dependency on the REST API plugin, because that’s now been moved in to core WordPress. (Actually, that happened rather a while ago, but I’m slack and haven’t been paying enough attention to Tabulate this year; other things going on!) I hope to get back to adding file-field support to Tabulate sometime soon. […]

(Firefox asked me to rate it this morning, with a little picture of a broken heart and five stars to select from. I gave it five (’cause it’s brilliant) and then it sent me to a survey on mozilla.com titled “Heavy User V2”, which sounds like the name of an confused interplanetary supply ship.) Today […]

It turned out to be simpler than I’d thought to add the ENUM-modifying feature to Tabulate’s schema editor, so I’ve done it and released version 2.9.0.

I’m trying to figure out if it’s worthwhile adding better support for enumerated fields in Tabulate. MySQL’s ENUM type is useful when one has an immutable list of options such as days of the week, seasons of the year, planets in the solar system, or suits in a deck of cards. It can also be […]

Every few years I try to move my blog away from WordPress. I tried again earlier this year, but here I am back in WordPress before even a month has gone by! Basically, nothing is as conducive to writing for the web. I love MediaWiki (which is what I shifted to this time; last time […]

One of the sad things about open source software is the process of working on some code, feeling like it’s going somewhere good and is useful to people, but then at some point having to abandon it. Normally just because life moves on and the higher-priority code always has to be the stuff that earns […]
