I’ve just released the next revision of HB-Cumulus - rev 1.5.
This release now takes full advantage of the new tags functionality in the latest Habari SVN code and also now uses SWFObject 2.2 for the embedding in “non-compatibility” (ie the default) mode.
All the other changes are minor and include things like better HTML [...]

I recently purchased a 1/4GB Joyent Accelerator account (aka zone) and thought as I’ve got full control of what I run, I’ll try the Lighttpd (1.4.22) and PHP FastCGI (5.2.9) combination for my website hosting. Whilst this worked great and performance was pretty impressive, I’m not too impressed with the memory consumption of the [...]

Well, folks, it’s taken a long time but I can now finally and proudly announce that my SmugMug Media Silo plugin for Habari is now available for download.
The SmugMug Media Silo plugin implements a Habari media silo to access your SmugMug photos making it easy to insert images into posts and pages. You can [...]

Thanks to some good feedback and testing by the chaps in the Habari community, I’ve pushed out a small minor update to my HB Audio Player plugin which fixes some misbehaviour seen when your theme doesn’t use a style.css file in the theme’s base directory. From now on, HB Audio Player will only show [...]

I’ve just pushed HB-Cumulus 1.4 out the door. There’s no major changes, only a bit of code tidying and I’ve now also made released a version that is compatible with Habari SVN (which will become 0.7 one day) which uses a new plugin architecture.
Downloads are on the HB-Cumulus project page.
As this is a new [...]

I’ve just pushed out a new revision of HB-Cumulus. This isn’t a major update, rather another maintenance update in which I’ve:

Updated tagcloud.swf to that provided with WP-Cumulus 1.20, which includes the following relevant fixes:
“Fixed the mouse pointer not changing to a hand when hovering tags.”
“Adds Turkish language support to the Flash movie.”
Like the WP-Cumulus [...]

I’ve just pushed out a new revision of HB-Cumulus. This isn’t a major update, rather more of a maintenance update in which I’ve:

Updated tagcloud.swf to that provided with WP-Cumulus 1.18, which includes a change that… “Improves mouse detection in transparent mode”
Sorted out the documenting of the licensing of the various components
Updated directory structure to [...]

I’ve had to push out a minor update to HB-Cumulus as I’ve just discovered a little bug which causes the HB-Cumulus settings to be deleted when another plugin is deactivated.
You can get the latest revision from the HB-Cumulus project page.
As this is a new release, I’ve closed comments on the 1.0 post. If you [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you my first Habari plugin: HB-Cumulus.

Well, after running with ALL options in the wp_options table set to no for autoload for about 3 days, I can say it doesn’t really make much difference. If anything, there may be a slight decrease in performance, but nothing broke that I could see, and there really wasn’t a significant difference in memory usage [...]
