Syndication Links 4.2.1 and Simple Location 4.0.2 Released

Released some minor bugfix editions today.

Simple Location

    • Rounds all numbers to a maximum of two decimal points, as I introduced a bug in the last version that would fail to fill in numbers in the post editor due form validation requirements.
    • Extracts additional location information from Compass…mostly the information I store when I’m on a plane, to generate a better description of the location. It also passes this info to WordPress more effectively so it could do more in future.
    • I also introduced a new location provider. If set, if you enter a 3 letter airport code in the location name box, it will replace it with the location and name of that airport, as well as the weather. In future, I may add a similar reverse address lookup for people.
    • Misc bug fixes

Syndication Links

    • Some bug fixes introduced in 4.2.0
    • Due to the request to allow syndication provider checkboxes to be checked by default, I introduced two new filters: syndication_link_checked and syndication_link_disabled. The first parameter of each is a boolean that if true, will set either checked or disabled on that Syndication Provider. The second and third parameter is the uid of the provider and the post_id of the post.

I have been very reluctant to add an auto-post feature that just syndicated everything. I wanted some more granularity around this feature. But I’m not ready to implement it at this time. So, as a compromise, I’ve added a filter if someone does not want to wait for me.
