scribu » Deviant Thumbs http://scribu.net Hello, this is where scribu geeks out Thu, 11 Mar 2010 13:48:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Version 1.9 http://scribu.net/wordpress/deviant-thumbs/dt-1-9.html http://scribu.net/wordpress/deviant-thumbs/dt-1-9.html#comments Fri, 30 Oct 2009 16:19:45 +0000 scribu http://scribu.net/?p=578 Previous versions of this plugin relied on two rather fragile features:

For retrieving the items from DeviantArt, it used Yahoo Pipes. This service severly restricted usage recently, which resulted in no thumbs being shown.

For loading site pages faster, the plugin used file-based caching. The problem with this is setting proper file permissions, which is never fun.

That’s all gone now: version 1.9 uses the SimplePie class, bundled in WordPress. It retrieves items directly and also takes care of the caching.

I’ve used Alex Tingle’s multiWidget class, which I’ve adapted to my coding habits. You can expect all my plugins to receive multi-widget support sooner or later.

Important: If you’re upgrading from an older version, your current widget settings will not be preserved, unfortunately.

The main advantage is that it’s much smaller and way easier to modify and improve. Any suggestions are welcome.
