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

1. FIX: Shortcodes within an inlined post are now processed. Uses do_shortcode().
2. FIX: Comment metadata now shows correct number of comments made.
3. NEW: Change code convention to shortcode which allows use of the standard shortcode functions. Old insert methods are deprecated but will still work.
4. NEW: Recursive inlining now allowed when using new shortcode styling. Protection against infinite loop coded.
5. NEW Added the showcontent attribute to control display of the post’s content.

A number of my clients use Remository within Joomla for document management. The QuickDown plugin, available from the same site, is used to insert document information within an article. While I have been very satified with Remository, I have not found that QuickDown matches my clients’ needs.

QuickDown basically creates a link to the Remository page along with a variety of document information formatted within a table. Instead, I am usually interested in having a direct download link inserted inline with the article’s content.

The default template shows the sidebar only on selected pages. I often make a design decision to display the sidebar on every or nearly every page. This is a fairly straightforward set of template edits. As an example, we will work with the template single.php. This is the template which displays individual posts

The Home page of your site is the entryway for many visitors. By default, WordPress shows nothing but your most recent posts. Alternatively, WordPress makes it easy to set a page as your Home. I find that neither of these are sufficient and take another approach. If your templates contain a file named home.php then that template file will be used instead of the default WordPress options.
