I wrote a new WordPress plugin for a side project and just released it into the repository. It creates a custom post type for markers and then inserts them into an embedded Google Map, using the post’s featured image as the map icon.
Note: all support requests should be posted to the support forums.
This is the error you’ll get if you try to install WordPress 3.2 on a PHP4 server:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /path/to/your/directory/wp-includes/load.php on line 566
It’s because the clone keyword doesn’t exist in PHP4.
If you’re building a custom post type and want to let the user upload files, you’ll need to add enctype=”multipart/form-data” to the form tag, using the post_edit_form_tag filter. Otherwise the $_FILES array will be empty.
Richard Shepherd’s post on creating custom post types in WordPress is the first good example I’ve found that covers adding extra data fields.
Kroc Camen makes a good argument for why RSS is important and points out how web browsers can better support it.
