Inline Google maps 2.1.2 (really small fix)

Wednesday, December 12th, 2007

I just found out that there was a small chunk of code I forgot to change before releasing Inline Google maps 2.1.1, which could cause either no maps rendered on your page, or just some maps to be rendered.

Well, it's fixed now, so please download the plugin again here:

Sorry about the problem… Was trying to fix the stuff asap, and the little bug slipped thru :/

WordPress TinyMCE (visual editor) disappearance

Friday, December 7th, 2007

We have a very weird problem with one of sites running WordPress. Suddenly, TinyMCE visual editor stopped working. It just disappeared, and we only got the weird:

realTinyMCE is not defined

error in the console.

Of course  visual editor was turned on in users preferences and all that stuff. Switching to a different theme was solving the problem.

Turned out that the problem was in the functions.php file which was located in WordPress current theme's directory. And the reason was the most weird one you can imagine! We had several excessive line breaks after the php closing tag!!

Have a look at these pictures:

TinyMCE disappeared with error.

Take  notice of these 2 excessive line breaks after the closing tag of the functions.php file.

Just remove them…

Remove line breaks and it

And everything's back to normal again!

So, check that the functions.php file in your current WordPress theme doesn't have any excessive line breaks after the closing php tag.

Inline Google maps plugin broken

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Looks like the latest update Google made to their maps API broke my Inline Google maps plugin. The symptoms are the page becoming un-responsible, or map flickers when browsing using Opera.Though the plugin is not developed anymore, I'm planning to make a fix for those who are using it on their web pages. The problem is that I'm totally buried with work currently, so you will have to wait until next week for the fix. Sorry :(

And here's some test under the cut :) (more…)

Inline Google Maps for WordPress updated to version 2.1

Friday, November 10th, 2006

Finally, I had some time to juggle with the Google Maps code today, so here's a new update. :) (download link is at the bottom of this page!)

New stuff in this update is that basically you gain more control per map. Place Google map into your sidebar if you with, display maps in different sizes, show or hide map controls on per-map basis, as well as show/hide the marker on per-map basis! You can even choose if you want the google-map link to be replaced with a google map or not (in case you just would rather have a plain link to google maps site instead of inline map on your site).

EasySWF plugin for WordPress update to version 1.0.1

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

I have updated the EasySWF plugin to version 1.0.1 today. New version contains exactly 2 fixes:

  • a fix for reading dimensions of .swf file hosted on local filesystem of the server, in case when server doesn't set the DOCUMENT_ROOT environment variable (thanks to Michael Small for pointing out the problem and helping in resolving it!)
  • updated Flash generation code so that it is automatically "activated" in IE for Windows (ie no need to click on Flash in order to be able to click on links inside it, if there are any)

You can download the update here.

More info on the plugin is available here.
