Smart Responsive Menu will be used for all future xScape based themes, including soon to be released skyScape. Plugin cost only $6.00 and includes documentation,support (via CodeCanyon comments or official website forum).

Support BBCodes List

Plugin adds support for BBCodes based on phpBB implementation. Right now 26 codes are implemented, but some 10 more will be added in next version. Four of those codes are listed as advanced, and you can decide what user roles can use them. If the role can’t use the code, it will be stripped when saving. Each code allows for same attributes: class, style and raw. If you set raw to 1, content inside the shortcode will not be processed and will not allow for nested BBCodes. Style and class will be applied to the element.

New option is also for quoting topic or reply in your own reply. Plugin can use BBCode for that or standard HTML blockquote. Quote option can be added to links above the topic/reply content, or it can be appended after content.

More new features are coming soon. If you notice any problems, please report them in the comments or in the forum. All suggestions for new tools are welcome.

Right now plugin features two tools: toolbar menu integration and

GD bbPress Tools: Settings

GD bbPress Tools: Toolbar

Most tools in the plugin will allow user roles based settings as you can see on the image above. Toolbar menu option will add easy to use menu into WordPress toolbar with links to forums and views. Also, there are links to admin side new and edit links, settings and tools related to bbPress, including links for information.

Other tool included in 1.0.0 is to limit access to admin side menus and editors for forums, topics and replies. This code is based on the code by John James Jacoby from his ‘bbPress – No Admin’ plugin, but my version is more effective to prevent access, not only to hide menu items.

Theme mentioned before called newsScape is a bit delayed, and I expect that it will be completed by the end of July. But, in the first week of July, a brand new theme is coming and will be called lightScape. I will post few teaser shots from this theme design next week, but the theme will feature slider control, top menu/search area, main menu in the header, one sidebar and footer widgets area. Also, there will be 2 configurations and designs for footer. In some ways this new theme reminds of the theme currently used on Dev4Press (it’s The Station from WooThemes). And once completed, it will replace this theme and full website will be redesigned. As usual, theme will have at least 10 color styles, and as a special feature I will try to make adjustable typography (fonts and sizes) that makes sense. This is usually difficult to achive because many design elements depend on this settings. But, I will try to do it.

GD Custom Posts and Taxonomies 2.0 will be released in a less then a week with several new features and improvements including better integration with post editor. GD Press Tools will get one or two maintenance releases for both Pro and Lite versions and hopefully 3.8 during July will bring more new tools.

So, stay tuned for more new releases on Dev4Press and busy development during first summer month of July.
