Verse-O-Matic 3.0 Beta

Posted on January 25, 2006 | Filed Under Verse-O-Matic

The Verse-O-Matic 3.0 Beta release is currently being tested on this site. The new version is fully compatible with the new Wordpress 2.0. The changes were significant and will warranted moving to a new version number.

Verse-O-Matic 2.1.0

Posted on January 15, 2006 | Filed Under Verse-O-Matic

Following the update of the blog to Wordpress 2.0, I have released an upgrade to the Verse-O-Matic Plugin. The new release, Verse-O-Matic 2.1.0, works with Wordpress 2.0, 1.5, and should work with 1.2.

This update includes a slightly more versatile alternate translation bar.

I am working on a couple of new features that will be released in version 3:

Admin panel management
Database storage instead of txt file
Addtional variables and toggles (stored in db)

Until then, check back for updates.

Well, I completed the upgrade to Wordpress 2.0 last night.   Things went as smooth as can be expected.   No problems with the database, and most of my modifications since the last install were built into the theme pages so no problems there.

I did run into an issue that some folks seem to have had as well and that was with the wp-settings.php file at line 38.

//if ( strpos($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'], ‘php.cgi’) == strlen($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) - 7 )
//‚ ‚ ‚  $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] = $_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'];

This line is a fix for php as cgi and doesn’t really effect me, so commenting it out fixes …

Wordpress 2.0

Wordpress 2.0 is out. I will be attempting to upgrade the blog sometime this weekend. During this process, the blog may be unavailable.

Once that is complete, I will be upgrading the Verse-O-Matic to make sure that it works with WP 2.0. I may also further tinker with the gears a little to finish some of the upgrades that I’ve been wanting to add.
