TalkToMe – user inputs & polls
WHAT IS IT? A plugin that lets you gather user input directly from your WordPress community. WHY USE IT? Out of the box, WordPress has only one way to gather user input: comments. If you wan’t to interact more thoroughly with your community, comments are not enough. Therefore, we created this plugin. WHAT DOES THE PLUGIN DO? You can create a so called ‘Input Card’ where users can answer a question and provide valuable feedback. Furthermore, the plugin provides a ‘Poll Card’ that you can use for surveys. Finally, there is also a third type of cards ‘HTML Card’ that allows custom html input to create your very own card. HOW DO I USE IT? Once the plugin is activated, navigate to ‘Crowd’ and then click on Cards. Here you can create a New Card and choose the type of card you are interested in. After creating your card, you are able to attach the cards to your WordPress post.
JournalPress
JournalPress is a WordPress plugin that enabled cross-posting to sites running LiveJournal Server, which in 2024 is basically Dreamwidth (and, ironically, not LiveJournal itself). It is based on the LJXP plugin, however it has a raft of new features including: support for multiple different mirror journals support for scheduled posts support for posts created from interfaces (i.e. XML-RPC, Atom) mood, music and location support per-post-per-journal userpic selection. Version 1.2 Minor bugfixes. Version 1.1 Updated instructions for using API keys. Version 1.0 Significant code rewrite, so make sure to check your settings and journals as some config items may not have migrated exactly as expected! Support for LJ-style cut plugins on the WordPress end removed. WordPress-native still supported. Support for customer user groups for posting locking removed, since the plugin it relied on is super broken. Bulk crossposting options removed. Credits JournalPress is based off the original LJXP client by Evan Broder, with the LJ Crossposter Plus modifications made by Ravenwood and Irwin. No disrespect is intended towards any of these authors; without their great work, this plugin wouldn’t have been possible (or at least would’ve taken a hell of a lot longer to write). Big shout-out to everyone who’s kept using this terrible old code all this time. You guys rock!
