Yes, this is such a major upgrade to my OPML Browser plugin for WordPress that it warrants bumping the initial digit in the version number. Here’s what changed:
- The plugin now expects to be installed in its own folder: (siteurl)/wp-content/plugins/opml-browser
- JavaScript and CSS have been separated into their own files.
- JavaScript events are now hooked on window load instead of in the HTML.
- Added “alt” attribute to all “img” tags.
- Images are now looked for in (siteurl)/wp-content/plugins/opml-browser/images
- If an image cannot be found, it will be replaced by the supplied unknown.png (a question mark).
- Added “Sort items?” option. This sorts within categories, unless the “flatten” option is enabled (see next item).
- Added the “Flatten hierarchy?” option. This combines all items into one level. If sorting, all items get sorted together.
- The OPML description attribute is now displayed as a tooltip (as in the OPML Blogroll widget, but it also works in IE and Opera now!).
As far as I know, the OPML Browser can now do everything that the OPML Blogroll widget could do (items 7 through 9 filled that out), so I am herewith declaring the OPML Blogroll widget retired from further upgrades. Please use this plugin’s widget instead from now on. Let me know if I’ve forgotten any functionality that you need.
A big “thank you” to all of my users who requested various features and reported bugs. This plugin would not be what it is today without your input.
