Version 1.7 of the Praized Wordpress plugins released

We just released a new version of our Wordpress plugins (version 1.7 for people tracking our versioning!) and here are some of the new features:

  • We moved the search brick to the top of most of our platform templates. Experience shows that users prefer having the search brick on top as opposed to the side. For example, you can see it on the Top Places page or the Local Buzz page.  In a search result page, the number of results is now displayed.  At the same time, we’ve modified the search form widget so that it is automatically hidden when the same form is shown in the main content area.

  • We also decided to split our “Praized Session” widget to introduce a new “Praized Section” widget.  We felt it was better to separate the Log-in/Join/Manage Profile/Logout functions from navigation functions like Top Places, Local Buzz and our new Questions & Answers section
  • We exposed the place tagging and commenting functionalities for non-logged in users and made it so that the submitted data (tags, comment) is preserved and processed at the end of the login process if required (like we did for votes and such in v1.6)
  • We added a new help section for the our platform. Note that the content we display in this page is actually stored on our server (but cached on yours), so you will get any updates we make automatically as we release them
  • We added an upgrade notification mechanism so you don’t miss out on important new changes when upgrading to a new version of the plugin
  • We added support for sponsored images in the sponsored links block
  • Finally, we updated to praized-php-1.7 and to praized-wp-core-1.7.
