Routes plugin for WordPress: Version 2.2.11 released

Submitted by jhodgdon on 23 August 2010 - 8:17am

My partner Zach and I have been experiencing some problems with GPX files generated by an Android phone -- the elevations that Android records are suspect, to say the least. So I just added a new feature to the Routes plugin for WordPress: a button that lets you look up and update elevation values in bulk, using Google Maps' lookup service.

Routes plugin for WordPress: Version 2.2.10 released

Submitted by jhodgdon on 5 August 2010 - 3:26pm

Yesterday I was trying to import a GPX file into a WordPress post on a site running my Routes plugin for WordPress. The post had several images that had been inserted using the WordPress media library, and the GPX import failed, without telling me what was going on.

So I added some messages to show on the screen when you save your post, and that led me to understand what the problem was, and I fixed it. So I just released version 2.2.10 of the Routes plugin. Upgrading is advisable.

Routes plugin for WordPress: Version 2.2.9 released

Submitted by jhodgdon on 3 August 2010 - 8:42am

On Sunday I was trying to import two GPX files into the same WordPress post on a site running my Routes plugin for WordPress, and instead of adding points from the second GPX file to the end of the points from the first file, the Routes plugin mixed them up together. That wasn't good!

It turned out that there was a PHP programming error in the Routes plugin. So, I fixed the error, and today released version 2.2.9 of the Routes plugin. Upgrading is advisable.

Routes plugin for WordPress: Version 2.2.8 released

Submitted by jhodgdon on 22 July 2010 - 9:18am

Yesterday, I was making a new web site based on my Routes plugin for WordPress, and I noticed that both the new site and my existing bicycle trails site were not displaying maps in Internet Explorer 6. This was due to a JavaScript syntax error (apparently most newer browsers could overlook this minor error, but not Internet Explorer 6).

So, I fixed the error, and today released version 2.2.8 of the Routes plugin. Upgrading is advisable.

Today I updated my bicycle trails site to WordPress 3.0. The Routes plugin was mostly working, but there was a bug in the proximity search feature. So, I just released version 2.2.7 of Routes, with a fix for that issue.

10 minutes of fame: Drupal Voices

Submitted by jhodgdon on 28 June 2010 - 9:14am

At the 2010 DrupalCon SanFrancisco in April, I was honored to be interviewed for Lullabot's Drupal Voices series. The interview is now up, and you can listen to the interview to find out what I think about the importance of Drupal documentation, and maybe get a sense of why I choose to contribute so much time to the Drupal project.

Drupal WYSIWYG editor configuration tricks

Submitted by jhodgdon on 18 May 2010 - 5:05pm

Most of the clients I set up Drupal web sites for are not experts at hand-editing HTML, and prefer to use a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) or Rich Text editor to create their content. I generally set them up with the WYSIWYG API module, and use the FCK Editor or CK Editor plugin. Over the couple of years I have been using this module, I've learned a few configuration tricks, so I thought I'd share them here.

Article update: Creating a compound CCK field

Submitted by jhodgdon on 28 April 2010 - 3:04pm

I just updated my article on creating a compound CCK field. In this new version, I fixed a couple of problems reported by users of the module, added a fully-working example for text-only compound fields, added some new options at the top for alternatives to building compound CCK field modules, and tested everything with the latest versions of Drupal, CCK and the other dependent modules. So, there are two new downloads... enjoy!
