Force Post Title

This is a simple plugin which is designed to help the posters who some times forget to write the post title. Once activated, this plugin will force the users to give post title while adding new post to wordpress site. Whenever User tries to publish a post without giving title, it will give an alert to the user and also highlight the title area so that user can see where to write the post title.I have tested this plugin with wordpress 3.3.1 and it works fine. It should work with older versions of wordpress also.

Stealth Update

This plugin allows you to choose to update a post without having WordPress automatically update the post’s post_modified timestamp. WordPress maintains a post field called post_modified which tracks the date the post was last edited. This value is used by feeds to indicate the latest update to each post or to report the latest updated post. Plugins and themes may also reference the post modification date to call attention to posts that have been updated. However, if an update is such that you don’t want it to be recorded in the post_modified date field (perhaps due to the update being a small formatting/editing change or fixing a typo, or if you just want to keep quiet about an update), then this plugin is for you. This plugin adds a “Stealth update?” checkbox to the “Publish” box of any post’s or page’s “Edit Post” admin page. Note: The plugin records when a post is stealth updated, so subsequent edits of the post will have the “Stealth update?” checkbox checked by default. Links: Plugin Homepage | Plugin Directory Page | Author Homepage Filters The plugin is further customizable via two filters. Typically, these customizations would be put into your active theme’s functions.php file, or used by another plugin. c2c_stealth_update_meta_key (filter) The ‘c2c_stealth_update_meta_key’ filter allows you to override the name of the custom field key used by the plugin to store a post’s stealth update status. This isn’t a common need. Arguments: $custom_field_key (string): The custom field key to be used by the plugin. By default this is ‘_stealth-update’. Example: /** * Defines a custom meta key to be used by Stealth Update. * * @param string $custom_field_key The default custom field key name. * @return string */ function override_stealth_update_key( $custom_field_key ) { return '_my_custom_stealth-update'; } add_filter( 'c2c_stealth_update_meta_key', 'override_stealth_update_key' ); c2c_stealth_update_default (filter) The ‘c2c_stealth_update_default’ filter allows you to override the default state of the ‘Stealth Update?’ checkbox. Arguments: $state (boolean): The default state of the checkbox. By default this is false. $post (WP_Post): The post currently being created/edited. Example: // Have the Stealth Update? checkbox checked by default. add_filter( 'c2c_stealth_update_default', '__return_true' );
