Release of ggis-InlinePost v1.0
Today, I release the version 1.0 of ggis-InlinePost. It is available for download from the WP plugin directory. This release fixes the improper newline formatting reported by a few users. Additionally, it adds or enhances the following:
- FIX: Correct paragraph/newline formatting.
- NEW: Inlined post now recognizes the ‘more’ shortcode.
- NEW: If a post requires a password, the password entry form will be displayed.
- UPDATE: Improved display of metadata.
The metadata uses the following CSS classes for display:
- entry-meta
- meta-sep
- meta-prep

Hi,
Great plugin, it’s exactly what I need! I do have a question…is it possible to have the option to display post summaries instead of the full post? I have a page where I am using your plugin to display a blog post that is particularly long.
I would like to be able to display the first 1-2 paragraphs of the post followed by a “More” link taking the reader to the full post. Is this something your plugin is capable of, or could be capable of in the future?

Using the more shortcode is already supported in version 1.0. The more shortcode is available in the visual editor. The button that inserts the code, is 2 rectangles with a dashed line between them.

It’s not working…I don’t know if it’s because I’m trying to insert a blog post on a page or what. The visual editor shows [-ggis-inlinepost id="300"-] and then the long separator with the ‘more’ button, and HTML looks like: [-ggis-inlinepost id="300"-]
The full blog post appears on the page whether I have the shortcode there or not.

the more short code was edited from my post above, but it does appear in the HTML code right after the [-ggis-inlinepost id="300"-]

This is a great plugin. Unfortunately it seems that it is disabling the functionality of other WP Shortcodes used within the same post/page.
I.e. when I insert [-ggis-inlinepost id="1" titletag="ggis Inline Post"-] into my page on http://wp.nadworks.com/?page_id=14, it breaks the native WP inserted image caption code (as you will notice on the above mentioned page).
I assume this is a bug, as I have no other plugins enabled and have tried this on a brand new, fresh WP installation.
Any ideas?

@ Cassius
You are correct that ggis-InlinePost does not recurse on sub-post’s shortcode. I think that this is something that it should do. Thank you for mentioning it and look for it in the next version. Hopefully within a week.

Version 1.1 is released.
@Cassius, New version should resolve your issues.
@Tara, I was never able to duplicate your issue. Hopefully the new version fixes that problem.

Great plugin — exactly what I was lookoing for!!
The more-option is very useful to shorten post references. But I would like to have an explicite “showexcerpt” option. By this simple page references would be possible.
One1, keep on this wonderful piece of code.

@michael
Good idea, I will add it in the next release. Just started 2 smaller projects this week, so look for it in about 2 weeks.

@one1
Great to hear! I’am eager to get new version.
Another interesting feature would be to extract all of a certain section up to the next equal section level. Example:
[ggisinlinepost id="33" showsection="Introduction to Blogging"]
would extract all of the L2 section “Introduction to Blogging” without the heading including L3 section “Ut elementum” from post 33:
…
Introduction to Blogging
Lorem ipsum…
Ut elementum
Ut elementum. Maecenas dictum libero vitae lorem….
Vivamus
Vivamus at eros a lorem faucibus ultrices….
…

Even when I sectionize the content with all revisions of the post to be inlined are inlined also after the “(more)”.

Sorry it’s me again. The post above doesn’t show (here written with addiotional blanks.
January 17th, 2011 at 11:32 am
Hey, I want to say “sectioning with (…more…)”
January 17th, 2011 at 11:45 am
…the same is with related posts. They are also shown after the “(more)” or “(continued)” link.
