Nice work with those Nick, i can see a big use for the RSS Basic Module, looking forward to seeing what else you can come up with in the future.
Congrats Nick, good luck with it and thank you on behalf of all the people who avidly use such plugins but couldn’t code them to save our lives – what would we do without you guys!!?
Thanks Neil and Danielle. I’m open to suggestions if there’s anything you’d like to see in JapanSoc. I’ve done WordPress plugins before, but I never ventured into widgets or creating an admin interface. I wouldn’t mind learning how to do more advanced WordPress plugins, but with the thousands of plugins already out there for WordPress, I wouldn’t know what to make! Although a bridge between SWCMS and WordPress so that users only need register once would be pretty sweet. Hmmm….
Why not make a widget that updates as often as somebody in your blogroll writes a post? For example, if Jordan writes a sumo post at his blog, and it’s the most recently-written post in all of the blogs featured in your blogroll, then the widget would display a message like, “Jordan has just written a new post at 11:15 a.m.” or something like that.
Anyway, great work! Once the weather really cools down and I find myself indoors more often, I will definitely start working on the technical side of site design again. Of course, I’ll be asking you for advice quite a bit I guess 😉
What you’re describing is similar to the “Latest” page on the JapanSoc Blog. It would be easy to pull that feed into JapanSoc using RSS Basic. I might be able to do something with that idea, Billy, thanks.
Otsukaresama!
Doesn’t it feel good to contribute to the open source community? I remember my first taste of open source goodness when I started a site using phpNuke cms (in 2003). PhpNuke, I hate to say it, was a nightmare but getting help and giving help on the user forums opened my eyes to the power of open source.
Keep up the good work!
