output-style

In the new version 1.2.7 of Related Posts Thumbnails plugin there is an option to select output style. By default it will be same as in previous versions – based on blocks. You can now select the version, based on “List” and you can also turn off plugin CSS for this version completely. This is for more advanced users who wish to customize output as they desire.

Also List style produces clean output, without HTML errors, and this may be an alternative for users with complex theme design, who experienced overlapping effects with Blocks output.

In addition, the background color bug was fixed.

Thanks again for all suggestions, the new version is now available for download http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/related-posts-thumbnails with the following upgrades:

  • Improved plugin performance with high number of posts. Database request was altered and plugin performance improved. So now on my local machine for 3k posts it executed for 0.017 sec in average, compared to before 0.2 sec.
  • PHP configuration allow_url_fopen is taken into account. Some PHP configuration always returned default thumbnails, so now this option is checked.
  • Added start date to exclude old posts
  • Fixed display on pages with plugin setting for not single only.
  • Separated categories – which are displayed amoung thumbnails and on which thumbnails are displayed.
  • Random relation, for random posts display. It means you can set no relation at all to show any posts, not just with similar tags or categories.
  • Plugin is now PHP 4.3 compatible according to WordPress requirements.

Generate Post Thumbnails plugin was improved (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/generate-post-thumbnails/) and now it supports different methods of uploading externally hosted images on server depending on server configuration. Some configurations (allow_url_fopen is Off) didn’t work before and created empty images. This version should fix this. Also it supports relative paths.

Related Posts Thumbnails was updated with the following changes:

  1. Thanks to Li-An it now has French version.
  2. Excerpts will be generated if no excerpt were defined.
  3. Developer mode. You can turn on developer mode in plugin settings. This will add some debugging info in HTML source, so I can check what’s going on if there is a problem.

Translations are very welcome. Please send them to mary@shaldybina.com.

In the next version I am going to investigate and improve pluggin performance with high number of posts (~3k).
