UTW beta for WordPress 2.3

23 Comments

This time the good news comes from Ultimate Tag Warrior, another (used-to-be?) must-have plugin.

First, a bugfix version of UTW Final for the current WordPress has been released. Second, a beta version for WordPress 2.3 is out. And of course, the latter one is what I care about.

So far, three "sub-plugins (things)" has been unveiled to beta testers:

"Tag Suggest Thing", which benefited from the Yahoo! term extraction API, and dopes out keywords basing on the post content.

"Embedded Tag Thing", which allows you to include tags as hyper links in the post content.

Update:
"Tag Managing Thing" is out! I've been waiting for it! With this lovely thing you can rename tags / slugs, delete tags, and even split tags!

WordPress 2.3 will be coming with native tagging support, probably next week. What UTW can do from now on, is to have some additional functions for us. To be frank, I was not much interested in these two "things". The expected "tag cloud" has been integrated into the latest WordPress svn but is poorly customizable, Christine should spend some time on it. Another thing that has been worrying me is the "Add tags as meta keywords" function, I'm not sure if it's still necessary since we already have rel="tag". Am I misunderstanding something?

Oh I almost forgot about the "Related Posts" function. Those who are at the same time using UTW and other related-posts plugins, do you know UTW itself can do this like a charm? Just read the readme files inside UTW package carefully. By the way, a guy from China has worked out something already.

At last, if you also want to be one of the beta testers, send request to this e-mail.

    Beta testers are more likely to get functionality that they'd like to use, to test (;

    (The embedded tags thing is something that someone else was missing, you see.)

    UTW is a dream.
    I really hope that 2.3 can keep all the amazing details from UTW.

    UTW is a fantastic plugin,

    but up to now, tags function of WordPress 2.3 beta is very poor.

    楼上那位，你要把spam伪装得不像spam，也必须先做些功课。我的PR并没有变化。但我承认我受骗了，给了你一个点击。

    冒昧了：我一直用的您的wp fresh主题，升级到wp2.3后，输出blogroll似乎有点问题：是不是这段需要改:< ?php get_links('-1', '', '', '', FALSE, 'rand', FALSE, TRUE, 10, TRUE); ?>
    可我是菜鸟，能否给一点帮助。谢谢！

    @zzk: 把整段<!-- Bottom Right -->改为：

    <!-- Bottom Right -->
    <div id="bottom-right">
    <?php wp_list_bookmarks('before=<li>&after=</li>&category_before=&category_after='); ?>
    </div>

    谢谢LEMONed的回复。不过这样，links顺序不变了，不像以前那样可以roll，感觉效果不如以前了。
