Release of ggis-InlinePost v1.1
The version 1.1 of ggis-InlinePost is released into the wild on June 26, 2010. It is available for download from the WP plugin directory. This release fixes a few minor issues, converts to standard shortcode conventions, and has been tested with the recently released WordPress 3.0.
Changelog
- FIX: Shortcodes within an inlined post are now processed. Uses do_shortcode().
- FIX: Comment metadata now shows correct number of comments made.
- NEW: Change code convention to shortcode which allows use of the standard shortcode functions. Old insert methods are deprecated but will still work.
- NEW: Recursive inlining now allowed when using new shortcode styling. Protection against infinite loop coded.
- NEW Added the showcontent attribute to control display of the post’s content.
Shortcode convention
Users will mainly notice that the code used to inline a post has been updated to the shortcode convention.
[ggisinlinepost id="%id" attribute1="%attr1" attribute2="%attr2"]
The previous code convention while deprecated will still work: [-ggis-inlinepost id=”%id” titletag=”%tag”-].
Usage is covered on the ggis-inlinepost page.

Gary,
Thanks for this plug in. I do have one question and Im not seeing an obvious answer. I would like to display my most recent post on an inside page. It appears that you have to tell your plug in what post to show. Is there any code to do that?

@Joel
Sorry, this plugin is not designed to do what you requested. I am not aware of one that does. I would probably complete your task within the template and would not use a plugin.

Hi Gary,
The inline post plugin was working perfectly, but then I installed the
Frontpage Slideshow plugin, and now the body of the inline posts is not appearing (the titles still appear). The slideshow posts are not the same as those that appear inline. Thanks for any thoughts you may have about this.

Try a different heading level for inline posts. I did not know that there was a Frontpage Slideshow plugin for WordPress but have used Joomlaworks products extensively in Joomla. From that experience, I know they often mess with certain header levels. Pretty certain it is happening in the CSS.

Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately changing the heading level for inline posts didn’t do the trick. If you have any other thoughts, I’d appreciate it. If not, I’ll skip frontpage slideshow and use a widgetbox widget. Love your plugin.

Did you solve this issue?
I cannot tell from the comment what the problem was. The WP comment system plays havoc with inserted HTML unless special characters are used.
I did review the code and found that I inserted my header tags in a non-compliant position, not a big deal but will be updated in the next version. All links in the plugin are generated using calls to standard WP functions.
I develop using the Thematic theme framework and so many CSS are set to match that but that would not cause invalid HTML.
I do notice that your are using the HTML4 strict doctype. This is not default for WP but should not cause any issues around my plugin. See http://codex.wordpress.org/HTML_to_XHTML.
