Nein, um wieder zum Ernst der Sache zu kommen: Das letzte Theme war wohl ein dunkler Patzer in meinem CV und die zentrale Layouttabelle hat mich auch massiv gestört – Nicht aus Prinzip, sondern weil Layouttabellen massiv die Anzeigezeit in die Länge ziehen können. Also bin ich frisch ans Werk gegangen und habe mich CSS- und Internet Explorer mäßig wieder auf den neuesten Stand gebracht.

Ich möchte diesmal ganz besonders 2 Plugins erwähnen, die von nun an nicht mehr von meiner Seite weichen sollen:

• Brians Threaded Comments sowie
• Share This von Alex King

Zusätzlich basiert mein Theme nun auf einem CSS Framework, dass ich ebenfalls hervorheben möchte: YAML ist nicht nur ein Framework für 2- bzw. 3-Column Straight-CSS-Layouts, sondern auch ein CSS-Tutorial und -Lehrbuch aller erster Güte.

Ich hoffe, es gefällt.

Hah – finally

Jerome: Since my comment entries doesn’t appear on your blog i hope you read this:
After looking through your code, I think you released a version without the activation-hook-code. Can’t find the promised tag-migration code either. Maybe you could post the sql code for the table so we can create it manually if you don’t have time for a second release right now.

The rest of the code looks very promising:

• Tag management (Oh no, my management plugin is deprecated ;-)
• Tags get saved in normalized form in a seperate table (Say hello to performance)
• A biiig options page
• etc. etc.

Hope we’ll see the correct release soon – One centralized plugin is always better than a bunch of them.

Download the (i hope) final version:

jeromes-keywords-manager-v4.zip Internal name: final destination

For the more technical fraction of my growing fan-community:
The original sql clause to retrieve posts with an specific assigned keyword was formulated to generally and reported to many results. A basic "attribute LIKE %keyword%" wasn’t correct in this case.

Sample:
Chip showed me this example: We have lot’s of posts tagged with the keyword "c" (programming language). After selecting the keyword in the Jerome’s Keywords Manager overview page, all posts having assigned keywords with the letter "c" would be shown on the edit page (like "cocaine", "furuncle", "canalisation", "canabalismn" and so on). urg.

Solution:
Since jerome decided to save assigned keywords as a comma-seperated list (straight without spaces in between) the SQL-Clause was redefined easely:

attribute LIKE ‘keyword,%’ OR
attribute LIKE ‘%,keyword’ OR
attribute LIKE ‘%,keyword,%’ OR
attribute = ‘keyword’

This should catch all cases.

• In the list of all articles that use a specific keyword, you see and select all other used keywords of these articles
• A new page showing all posts/pages having no keywords assigned at all

Additionally i finished the rudimenitary i18n code with help from Juice, who showed me some nice tricks with his sample code. Beside of his v2 korean language file i provide a full v3 german language translation file.

Download and enjoy:

jeromes-keywords-manager-v3.zip

This looks like a stable and mature plugin now – I don’t think it needs further enhancements *wink, wink*.
Ok, ok – There’s still this ugly SQL-LIKE-Statement - I’ll soon release jeromes-keywords-manager – the final destination.

One little step for me, one big step for mankind.

Language files as far as i know:

Screenshots:

Screens for V3:
[mygal=jeromes-keywords-manager-v3]

The plugin allows to edit, replace or delete tags over all posts.
Hope this will help to spread the tagcloud idea ;-)

Installation:

How do i install a wp-plugin? Instead of repeating the old rtfm phrase i’ll explain the veeery complicated way to install one:

1. Unzip the files into an empty directory
2. Upload the file and directory directly into the wp-content/plugins folder of your wp-installation
3. Go to admin panel / plugins and activate it
4. Enjoy!
