Recent Google Searches Widget  (2010-05-12)

Watches for hits arriving from search engines. Puts a list of recent queries as a widget.  [read full description]

The Recent Google Searches Widget collects the query string from Google, Bing and Yahoo. It lists the last 5 as a sidebar widget so that users might click on them and find information using the WordPress search. In this way a user might find more pages that satisfy his search and other users may be interested in the same things that previous searchers used as queries. It is quite possible that the Search engine query will result in a not found because the WordPress built-in search is not very flexible, so I have written a loose search plugin that I am going to submit to the plugin repository.

WP to Twitter  (2010-09-02)

Posts a Twitter status update when you update your WordPress blog or post to your blogroll, using the Cligs URL shortening service.  [read full description]

The WP-to-Twitter plugin posts a Twitter status update from your WordPress blog using either the Cli.gs or Bit.ly URL shortening services to provide a link back to your post from Twitter.

For both services you can provide your information to maintain a list of your shortened URLs with your URL shortening service for statistics and your own records.

The plugin can send a default message for updating or editing posts or pages, but also allows you to write a custom Tweet for your post which says whatever you want. By default, the shortened URL from Cli.gs is appended to the end of your message, so you should keep that in mind when writing your custom Tweet.

Any status update you write which is longer than the available space will automatically be truncated by the plugin. This applies to both the default messages and to your custom messages.

Credits:

Although it now bears almost no resemblance to the original sources, this plugin was originally based on the Twitter Updater plugin by Jonathan Dingman, which he adapted from a plugin by Victoria Chan. Other contributions by Thor Erik, Bill Berry and Andrea Baccega. Thanks to Cory LaViska for PHP 4 compatible json_decode and json_encode. Thanks to Michal Migurski for authoring the JSON class. Other bug fixes and related citations can be found in the changelog.

Scissors enhances WordPress’ handling of images by introducing cropping, resizing, rotating, and watermarking functionality.  [read full description]

This plugin adds cropping, resizing, and rotating functionality to Wordpress' image upload and management dialogs. Scissors also allows automatic resizing of images when they are uploaded and supports automatic and manual watermarking of images.

Please note that WordPress versions 2.9 and newer are not supported!

Quick Shop  (2010-01-29)

QuickShop is a WordPress Shopping Cart with both Paypal and Email functionality built-in.  [read full description]

Note: This plugin requires PHP 5

Quick Shop supports any Wordpress that has the Sidebar Widgets installed, really. It adds a SideBar widget that shows the user what they currently have in the cart and allows them to remove the items, not to mention a TinyMCE button to easily allow you to add products to your posts/pages.

Also, you will need to make your own CSS for this. I've included enough classes/ids for you.

Features:

  • Inventory listing tied in to TinyMCE
  • Integrates automatically with CFormsII (and uses CFormsII API so you can edit it easily yourself)
  • Full range of formatting for widget layout in Admin -> Options -> Quick Shop
  • Shopping cart Widget
  • Checkout page
  • Ability to create different product options in a drop-down
  • WordPress MU compatible

One of my clients required a quick and dirty shopping cart for Wordpress. The background:

  1. They had more than one product per post
  2. They only wanted orders to be sent via email
  3. They only needed EFT (Electronic Fund Transfer - like Direct Debit or Internet Banking)

Thus, Quick Shop was born thanks to the excellent way in which the Wordpress Plugin API is set up.

List of possible future features:

  • AJAX implementation
  • Internationalization
  • Inventory quantities

Please be aware that I'll only be updating this if I need to or if I'm paid to. Feel free to come on board and contribute!

Easy AdSense  (2010-08-18)

Easy AdSense manages all aspects of Google AdSense for your blog: insert ads into posts and sidebar, and add a Google Search box. Easy and complete!  [read full description]

Easy AdSense provides a very easy way to generate revenue from your blog using Google AdSense. With its full set of features, Easy AdSense is perhaps the first plugin to give you a complete solution for everything AdSense-related.

Features

  1. Enforces the Google policy of not more than three ad blocks per page.
  2. Sidebar Widgets:
    • For AdSense for content with custom title.
    • For search with customizable text or image title.
    • For Link Units.
  3. Rich set of Options:
    • Put Link Units or Ad Blocks in header or footer.
    • Suppress ads on all pages (as opposed to posts), or on the front/home page.
    • Add a customizable mouse-over border decoration on ad blocks.
    • Display ad blocks based on the post length.
  4. Control over the positioning and display of AdSense blocks in each post or page.
  5. Simplest possible configuration interface -- nothing more than cutting and pasting AdSense code, and with sensible defaults for the few options present, all with clear instructions.
  6. Internationalized (multiple languages supported).

If you feel that these features are a bit too much, consider my lean and mean AdSense plugin AdSense Now!

Want to go beyond AdSense? Use my new plugin More Money that can handle Clicksor, BidVertiser or Chitika and, of course, AdSense!

PS: You'll need a Google AdSense Account.

If you like Easy AdSense, you may want to check out my other plugins: Theme Tweaker and Easy LaTeX. And my plugin for plugin authors: Easy Translator.

Coming Soon!

A major version upgrade is planned for later this year, which will be released as a new plugin, Easy Google. This plugin will sport a modern, tabbed interface, and a completely re-written, refactored and optimized codebase and option data model, resulting in a more robust and extensible design, and better performance. The current version will always be available, if you need it.

New in 2.95

  1. A failsafe image if you incorrectly set your custom fields
  2. Removal of HTML from post extracts
  3. Some fixes made to excessive DB calls in the admin pages
  4. Better use of absolute blog path URLs
