The Blog that Noone Reads

Been going to the gym pretty regularly now. I’m really enjoying it. You can’t see a difference yet, but I can feel it.

As Coralize is reaching feature completeness, I’m looking for some people to test it out and let me know of any bugs. I’d like to reach a stable version 1.0 by the end of March. This can be accomplished if there are a few brave souls out there willing to try out this plugin and let me know about any bugs.

If you’re interested, just leave a comment here.

I just uploaded a fresh version of my Coralize plugin. It’s very nearly feature complete. Here’s a list of whats updated.

• Moved almost all code into a class to clean up the namespace a bit.
• Added support for coralizing relative links and images that begin with /
• Updated RSS code to not break if gzip is enabled. Instead, it will disable conflicting features.
• Updated options page to reflect changes in RSS code behavior.

The only planned features that are still missing at this point are the template/css/js stuff, which I’m not really sure I want to include in the first stable release. I think those features may cause more problems than they solve.

My buddy, David Unger recoreded this cover for his lady. I think it’s damn good. What do you think?

Just finished some more features for my WordPress plugin Coralize. The new features include support for feed and podcast caching. I’m rapidly approaching feature completion. Hopefully, I can get some testers and reach a 1.0 stable version within a few weeks.

This plugin is designed to automatically update parts of the site to use the Coral Content Distribution Network (coralcdn.org). This is not a feature complete release. Features that are not implemented are noted as such in the configuration panel. This is still a work in progress, so use at your own risk. Please check back soon for an updated version.

Download: Coralize for WordPress v0.8 beta

Installation

To install, simply unzip it and drop the coralize folder in your extensions directory. Then you can go into the Plugins admin panel and enable it. Once it’s enabled, you’ll have a Coralize sub-panel under Options. Simply enable the features you want.

Current Features

Coralize currenly features support for several methods of cache control:

• Caching of links and images using the class=”coralize” propety in the link or image tag.
• Caching all images on the site linked from the site’s domain.
• Caching all images on the site linked from specified domains. (whitelisting)
• Caching all images on the site linked from all but specified domains. (blacklisting)
• Caching of feeds
• Caching of enclosures in feeds (podcasts)
• Caching of pages linked to from feeds
• Slashdotting protection by caching the entire site when linked to from specified domains.
• Panic Mode, which caches the whole site for all users.

Change Log

Checkout my Coralize blog category for a list of changes.

Planned Features

This is a list of features I’m working on implementing:

• Caching of images, css files, and javascript files used in templates

Compatibility

As of v0.6, using gzip is not supported with the feed features. In future versions, this will probably not be an issue.
I just need to find a workaround for some problems.

As of v0.7, using the gzip feature is not supported, but will not break anything. The Coralize options page will let you know which features are not compatible with gzip and will automatically disable them.

As of v0.8, enabling panic mode will not break the site admin tool.

I’m working on a plugin for WordPress to automatically use Coral Content Distribution for files and images on a wordpress site. This feature will be especially helpful to podcasters, which is why I’m working on it. Anyway, please use the comments form on this page to discuss this plugin. Feature suggestions are welcome.
