Displaying 1 To 18 Of 18 Comments Review – Swiftype Search Plugin We’re using Swiftype on the new Pods site, it works great! » Posted By Scott Kingsley Clark On May 23, 2013 @ 1:01 PM Secrets Revealed: WLTC and WPTavern Kudos to Matt and Jeffro, this is just awesome! » Posted By Scott Kingsley Clark On May 21, 2013 @ 12:24 PM Do You Mistrust A Company That Misspells WordPress? To further clarify my position on the misspelling, it only applies to marketing material / website “what we do” / “we built a Word(p)ress plugin” / etc, it’s not about casual conversation or e-mails or blog posts for me. » Posted By Scott Kingsley Clark On May 17, 2013 @ 10:45 AM OK, the filter got me therei n my furst quote, it was meant to be “Word(lowerp)ress” » Posted By Scott Kingsley Clark On May 17, 2013 @ 9:26 AM If they misspell WordPress, use it as ‘WordPress’ or ‘Word Press’, etc.. it’s grounds for immediate dismissal for me. I’m strict on who I play ball with, and a requirement is the basic understanding of WordPress. Someone claiming to be an expert in ‘WordPress’ just doesn’t seem like an expert. I may be harsh in my judgement, but it’s logic that has yet to serve me wrong. Yes, plenty of people can spell it right and capitalize it right and have completely no idea what they’re doing, but this requirement makes it easy for me to filter out the riff-raff. Max I’d stay on the site is probably less than a minute longer, if not immediately closing and burning the tab. » Posted By Scott Kingsley Clark On May 17, 2013 @ 9:24 AM Searching For A Better WordPress Search @Jeffro – I’ve been testing out the external Swiftype Search service for the new Pods site. It seems to do a really great job out of the box. No support for custom fields though, but you can choose whether to index pages of content or use their WordPress plugin and index only the content of the post. Their indexer has some custom meta tags you can use to pop your extra content into for indexing too. » Posted By Scott Kingsley Clark On May 9, 2013 @ 9:46 AM @Jeffro – Right, and that makes sense to cover most cases there, as opposed to maybe the developer crowd who have better hosting and would prefer better plugins/built-in stuff as opposed to the third-party service. The VIP search isn’t available for .org users (yet) though, so there’s still much to be desired there. » Posted By Scott Kingsley Clark On May 7, 2013 @ 1:33 PM I built a search plugin for this very reason, but of course like Matt said, you can’t control a lot of things on the user’s site, so my plugin doesn’t work well on shared hosting for larger sites. Something I built into my plugin, and would want to see available in a future solution, would be some ability for it to take into consideration the actual markup/output used for the content. This way, it could automatically build relevancy on specific keywords per page and take into account other content on that page which may not strictly be in post_content or the title. Display of custom fields is also important, because it’s not jus the data, there could be templating stuff that is essentially invisible to plugins that only look at meta. Anyways, I don’t have a ton of time to work on my search plugin any more, I’m focusing on Pods mostly. But I know that when I get some more time, I’ll be looking into a few more updates, but I hope a better solution comes out so I don’t have to spread myself too thin. » Posted By Scott Kingsley Clark On May 7, 2013 @ 1:07 PM Comparison Spreadsheet For Content Type And Custom Field Plugins @Everett - No problem at all, all of this was provided through users and other information we were able to get from docs / plugin page. Thanks for clarifying, I’ll have it updated within a few minutes. » Posted By Scott Kingsley Clark On December 6, 2012 @ 12:37 PM That’s great Dave! There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, so kudos! » Posted By Scott Kingsley Clark On December 1, 2012 @ 2:48 PM @Juan Antonio – Is Magic Fields still active, when I looked it seemed to have been sliding away. » Posted By Scott Kingsley Clark On November 30, 2012 @ 8:09 AM @Benjamin – That spreadsheet compares content types themselves, the Google Spreadsheet compares all the active plugins out there. » Posted By Scott Kingsley Clark On November 30, 2012 @ 8:09 AM Added a spot for the last updated date, we’ve been updating it every few days lately. I’ve also clarified a couple of the points you wanted more info about. Thanks for spotlighting this! It’s what I’ve been saying since I started talking about WordPress, it’s not about what tool you use for the job, it’s about what tool is right for your needs. This goes toward that goal, as just a basic google search or WP.org plugin directory search really doesn’t bring out this information well. » Posted By Scott Kingsley Clark On November 29, 2012 @ 7:53 PM WordPress Developers That Are Hiring I’m looking for experienced WordPress developers (PHP/MySQL/jQuery) to do some paid work on the Pods Framework 2.0, must know basics of what Pods is and how it works. Inquire at scott (at) podsframework dot org » Posted By Scott Kingsley Clark On December 29, 2011 @ 12:37 PM Did someone remove WPCandy from Planet WordPress over this or were they removed sometime long ago? I thought they were added just back in May.. » Posted By Scott Kingsley Clark On September 14, 2011 @ 4:32 PM WPWeekly Episode 88 – Woo For Menu Management I’m having the same issue with the download, looks like it’s from Episode 42 LOL » Posted By Scott Kingsley Clark On February 17, 2010 @ 12:52 PM It’s difficult to wonder what could have been, because without WordPress there wouldn’t have been certain innovations happening – but they could still have happened through other systems. So it’s questionable to wonder how big WP would become if it were a project starting out now instead of an existing project with it’s userbase and a bright horizon of rewrites and optimizations in future versions. I’d say the second isn’t the ideal option, but hey – everything starts somewhere. » Posted By Scott Kingsley Clark On February 5, 2010 @ 10:26 PM Is A Plugin Validation Team A Pipe Dream? It would make sense, if a new repository was started under new policies and validation. Then, once a significant amount of plugin authors had migrated, the old one be shut down. To go through the current repo and all the plugins would take a considerable amount of time. Maybe plugins that have been checked could just get a “Verified” logo in the listings, or something of that nature? Tons of ideas floating around, hopefully we can get some answers in today’s dev meeting. » Posted By Scott Kingsley Clark On September 30, 2009 @ 1:15 PMComments Posted By Scott Kingsley Clark
