After releasing the pagination function for WordPress code, I decided to make it easier to use by creating an official WordPress Plugin.
So, I'd like to introduce WP-Paginate, a simple and flexible pagination plugin which provides users with better navigation for your WordPress site.
If you have any feedback or issues, please let me know!
The September 2009 issue of JSMag is now available and I'm happy to announce that one of my photos was selected for the cover.
The way WordPress handles post pages is to provide links to the previous posts and next posts, using previous_posts_link() and next_posts_link() respectively. When redesigning my site, I wanted to paginate the post pages to provide users with a more usable, intuitive interface.
While there are a number of WordPress plugins that enable pagination, I chose to write my own. I wanted a something that was flexible enough to be used in a number of different situations, but most of all I wanted the experience and challenge of writing my own pagination function.
SimpleModal Contact Form (SMCF) 1.2.4 includes the following changes:
init() functionAfter months of design changes and WordPress theme customizations, I'm happy to introduce the latest version of EricMMartin.com!
I've actually been working on this redesign, on again, off again, for the last year or so. Although the design has been through a number of changes, the technologies I wanted to build the site with have remained the same: WordPress and jQuery.
So, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the new design - please leave a comment. If you didn't see the previous version, here's a screenshot of what it looked like:
It has been over 2 months since I released SimpleModal 1.3 and was waiting to finish the documentation until making an official announcement.
Well, days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months, but finally, the new documentation along with a new site design, are available!
It's been a while since I've posted, so I thought I'd provide some updates.
First, I will be offline from Aug 2, 2009 - Aug 8, 2009, so I will not be able to respond to any emails during that time. For questions or issues regarding SimpleModal, please use the jQuery Google Group. For questions or issues regarding SimpleModal Contact Form, please use the WordPress support forum (and make sure to tag your question with simplemodal-contact-form-smcf).
Considering the number of changes and new features, I've decided to release 1.3 as a beta version. This release covers most of the common requests I receive for SimpleModal: forced focus on the dialog (prevent tabbing away), ESC/overlay-click to close dialog and an appendTo option.
