GD bbPress Toolbox Pro is released to merge our 3 free plugins for bbPress, but that doesn’t mean that these plugins are dead. In the past few days all 3 plugins have received their maintenance releases fixing some small issues and improving performance. And more is to come.
New GD Custom Posts And Taxonomies Tools Pro version brings integration with OpenCalais API for use with the tagger expansion of the tags/custom taxonomies meta boxes with some other improvements. gdr2 library is updated to latest 2.7.4 and jQueryUI to new 1.8.20.
As announced before, here is a brand new premium plugin for WordPress: GD bbPress Toolbox Pro. Plugin includes many expansions for the bbPress powered forums including: attachments, BBCodes, quotes, signature and much more. Plugin also has its own dedicated website.
Toolbar plugin is updated to include settings for notifications displayed in the menu item, and now also can display notifications about Gravity Forms updates. Some of the toolbar menu items are changed and link to Gravity Forms Toolbar plugin settings panel added.
Here is another new free plugin to extend the bbPress 2.x plugin with sidebar widgets. Right now, plugin contains 2 widgets: search topics (this one requires search view and GD bbPress Tools plugin active) and topic views list with selectable views to display. More to come.
Here is a new major release for GD bbPress Tools that brings many new features: additional BBCodes (now 30 codes supported), user signature, additional custom views for topics, improved quoting, support for bbPress 2.1, basic topics view for search and few more things.
New version of GD bbPress Attachments is here with some minor new features (styling improvements and changes to rendering for images attachments thumbnails), smaller fixes and some minor changes for the compatibility with soon to be released bbPress 2.1 plugin.
New version of GD bbPress Tools adds some very interesting features: support for 26 BBCodes (in form of shortcodes, based on phpBB codes) and option to quote topic or reply inside the new reply. Plugin structure is improved, and plugin settings panels expanded for new features.
One of the most frustrated things when using any kind of software, is that author doesn’t fix all the bugs fast enough. Since Dev4Press (and my other websites) use plugins other than my own, I decided to offer my own patches for the plugins I use, hopefully some of you will find that useful.
Here is a brand new free plugin to extend the bbPress 2.x plugin with additional interesting tools. First version of GD bbPress Tools features 2 tools with much more coming soon. Right now, list of plans has 6 more tools in various development stages to be included soon.
Later this week, a new plugin for bbPress will be released, and because of that, GD bbPress Attachments plugin has seen some additional loading optimization and file reorganization. There are no new features in this version, but there are some interesting plans for the future version.
New version brings several changes and fixes. Obsolete jQuery drop down rendering library is removed. One of the enhanced features for post types is also removed (including post type in search results) and some issues with the select field values display in some cases fixed.
