WPBook 1.4 Released
Published on Monday, January 4 2010
(Update 1/14 – now 1.4.2. Fixes detailed in readme – Admin side javascript issue, issue with submitting comments for folks who install wordpress files in a subdirectory different than their root URL)
(Updated 1/5 – it’s actually 1.4.1 now, as there was a typo in the theme/index.php file – get_exteral_url should be get_external_url).
Last night I packaged and released version 1.4 of WPBook, the plugin I maintain which creates a view of your WordPress blog as a Facebook application.
(For example, see Open Parenthesis as a blog, and then Open Parenthesis as a Facebook app).
Highlights of this release
- Fixed bug which made invite friends link only work on the home page
- Fixed bug in setting for custom/header footer which included a permalink
(WordPress support topic 306263) - Added Gravatar support
- Added (experimentally) a list of “pages” as well – this means you should able to use WPBook even if you have a static homepage set in WordPress – just use the url of your home page as the “Canvas Callback URL”
- Removed hard coded references to wp-content and plugins directories
(See http://willnorris.com/2009/05/wordpress-plugin-pet-peeve-hardcoding-wp-content) - Removed hard coded reference to config.php, routing Facebook comment submission through WordPress’ built in query parser instead
