Seeing as you lot are always asleep I got bored again and redid a few of the plugins ....... mainly cos I know Scott loves it when I rewrite their functionality :|

I made a couple of very minor alterations to the custom more and next page plugin, it makes zero difference to the way it's used it was mainly to tidy up the code a tad

I pretty much rewrote all of the am_custom plugins functionality, now instead of using [[x]css][[x]/css] etc you use <!--css <css to inject> --> etc. The main reason for this is so you don't end up with a page full of garbage if you ever uninstall the plugin (or if we don't upgrade it to future versions of evo). It's fully backwards compatible though so you don't need to worry about any old posts that use the tags. I've updated the post, the zip file and increased the plugins version number cos otherwise Scott will nag me

I also changed the way it treats the title and description tags, it only uses them in $disp = single mode. I also increased the keywords functionality to take into account the blogs own keywords when checking for unique keywords...... Ohhhh did I mention that I totally rewrote the way it's installed? :| Now you just need to delete everything from <title> to </title> (inclusive), the same for description and keywords (the plugin spits out all of the required tags.

I think I'm gonna wander off and play with the update plugin so that we can get it out there.

Hope you slept well :|

The update plugin rocks and I think we should have graphics ONLY when there's a plugin that needs updating.

And that graphic should be a link to get the update.

I was going to ask you about that. What's the work-flow? You see an update, you click link and what ... get new zip? get the actual file change and you don't need to re-install? what?

Now ... how to incorporate NEWS into the basic page? (I'm thinking some kind of CSS hover dealie, like the warning, info, geek buttons ... would be ideal.) Then it can be on that page too (unobtrusive like) ... maybe only show when there's New News?

I'm demanding, huh? :|

But WE ROCK!! He he. (Some heads are gonna twist over this one! French eyebrows will be lifted. Hehehe)

ffs - give you summat new to play with and you always want to add gaudy baubles :|

Eyebrows are gonna be lifted with this one though, cos we do ROCK when it comes to "no core hacks were abused to make this [impossible] plugin work" :D

Agreed at only showing status image to (supported) out of date plugins (thought image was already within link, can cure that), I just added all three to show what could be done.

The "news" icon could also be another geek/info/idea/warning icon, we'd have to think of how to tie it in with the date though (date of news, not last modified date of post) [if you want it to be on a "per post" basis, otherwise we could use a similar method as you use on Randsco?]

@update : for public plugins it'd be just as easy to link to the zip file (could even code an auto installer, which would take a smidge more work), but "members only" it should link to the post so evo takes care of login/authentication (but even that could be made into an auto-installer with a smidge of work).... personally I'd rather bring them to the site for all updates.
