Collapse-O-Matic v1.7.7

Aside

Collapse-O-Matic version 1.7.7 has just been released. This update includes a new content filter feature. To demonstrate what exactly this does, below are two examples of the html from a simple collapse element. By default the content filter is turned off, but this can be set in the plugin options page under Dashboard > Settings > Collapse-O-Matic > Filter Content.

Without Filter

[expand title="Trigger"]This is a bit of content text[/expand]

<div id="target-id1820" class="collapseomatic_content">This is some special text to display about item one</div>

Trigger

With Filter

[expand title="Trigger" filter="true"]
This is a bit of content text
[/expand]

<div id="target-id1820" class="collapseomatic_content"><p>This is some special text to display about item one</p>
</div>

New Plugin: T(-) Countdown Events

plugin_banner_t_minus_events
The Plugin Oven is happy to announce the release of T(-) Countdown Events our first add-on plugin for both T(-) Countdown and T(-) Countdown Control. This add-on allows a list of timed events to be triggered at specific times before the countdown reaches zero.

Multiple events can be created and then associated to one or more countdowns. Each event is assigned a specific amount of time (days, hours, minutes and seconds) before the countdown launches where it can:

  • Insert HTML above or below the countdown
  • Insert HTML in a specific element based on element type, element ID or element class
  • trigger an external callback function

This add-on plugin is quite powerful in it’s current state, and more features will be added over the next months. While we continute to develope T(-) Countdown Events, we are making it available to early-adopters at a discounted rate.

Preflight Check: T(-) Countdown Control v1.6.0

pre_flight_whiteThe upcoming release of T(-) Countdown Control will include a number of changes that warrant a quick ‘pre-flight’ check before the plugin is updated. Before updating to version 1.6.0 or newer, please take a moment and check the following items to ensure the update will not cause a conflict with outdated themes or plugins on your site.

Meta-Box

The first major difference that version 1.6.0 brings with it revolves around Meta Box by Tran Ngoc Tuan Anh. Meta Box is a very powerful plugin that many themes and plugins use to manage meta box and custom fields in WordPress. The recommended method of including the Meta Box plugin in themes/plugins has changed, and T(-) Countdown Control v1.6.0 uses this new recommended method.

However, this new method of loading the standard Meta-Box plugin might have conflicts with older themes and plugins that force-include their own ‘flavor’ of Meta-Box. Therefore we highly recommend that you check that your WordPress setup is able to install and activate the Meta-Box plugin before upgrading to version 1.6.0 or newer. Meta-Box is available directly from the WordPress Plugin Repository at: https://wordpress.org/plugins/meta-box/

Licence Key

As of version 1.6.0, the plugin registration and update functions have been replaced with our new licensing system. The plugin must now be registered using a valid licence key to continue to receive plugin updates and support. Licence keys may be viewed and managed at the Plugin Oven by logging into your account. Be sure you have secured your licence key before updating to version 1.6.0 or newer.

Collapse-Pro-Matic v1.2.1

Aside

Collapse-Pro-Matic version 1.2.1 is now available for purchase and upgrade. This update includes a new plugin registration and update method that is fully integrated with the new plugin licensing system. Collapse-Pro-Matic must now be registered using a licence key to continue to receive plugin updates. Licence keys may be viewed and completely managed from your account. A brief overview the of changes to the registration system are presented in the following video:
