Description

A number of the javascript libraries distributed with Wordpress are also hosted on Google’s AJAX Libraries API. This plugin allows your Wordpress site to use the content distribution network side of Google’s AJAX Library API, rather than serving these files from your WordPress install directly.

This provides numerous potential performance benefits:

• increases the chance that a user already has these files cached
• takes load off your server
• uses compressed versions of the libraries (where available)
• Google’s servers are set up to negotiate HTTP compression with the requesting browser

For a more detailed look see Dave Ward’s 3 reasons why you should let Google host jQuery for you.

Supported Libraries and Components

• Dojo
• jQuery
• jQuery UI
• MooTools
• Prototype
• script.aculo.us

Installation

1. Activate Use Google Libraries through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
2. Er… That’s it really.

Faq

What happens when Google updates their library versions?

Google has stated that they intend to keep every file they’ve hosted available indefinitely, so you shouldn’t need to worry about them disappearing.

Other Notes

Technical Details

Use Google Libraries uses the following hooks (each with a priority of 1000).

wp_default_scripts

Use Google Libraries compares it’s list of supported scripts to those registered, and replaces the standard registrations src with ones that point to Google’s servers. Other attributes (like dependencies) are left intact.

print_scripts_array

If jQuery is enqued Use Google Libraries will inject a small javascript file to ensure that it is running in noConflict mode as it would with the standard WordPress version.

script_loader_src

Use Google Libraries removes the ver=x.y.z query string from the URL used to load the requested library if it is going to load the library from ajax.googleapis.com. Otherwise the URL is left unaltered. This both improves the chances of the given URL already being cached, and prevents script.aculo.us from including scripts multiple times.

References

Parts of this plugin (specificly, the dropping of the micro number) were inspired by John Blackbourn’s Google AJAX Libraries, which has very similar goals to this plugin.

Future Plans

• add ability to enable/disable loading from Google for specific libraries
• add ability to request a newer version than your WordPress install registers by default

Description

Google aggregates news from over 4500 news sources, updated continously. The results can be retrieved as a number of RSS feeds, where you can create your own specific feed by specifying one of more than 40 regions/languages, and an optional topic ranging from Domestic to Most Popular to Entertainment. Currently there are nine topics, including, of course, All. In addition to this, any feed can be filtered through a search query so that only news items matching your query will be shown. Note that not all combinations of region/language and topic has been enabled by Google but it should degrade gracefully.

This plugin works both as a widget, as inline content replacement and can be called from themes. Any number of inline replacements or theme calls allowed, but only one widget instance is supported in this release.

For widget use, simply use the widget as any other after selecting which feed it should display. For inline content replacement, insert the one or more of the following strings in your content and they will be replaced by the relevant news feed.

• [google-news] for the default feed
• [google-news name=”feedname”]

Enable plugin, go to the Google News page under ‘Dashboard’ -> ‘Settings’ and read the initial information. Then go to the Google News page under ‘Dashboard’ -> ‘Manage’ and configure one or more feeds. Then use a widget or insert relevant strings in your content or theme.

Additional information

The available options are as follows.

• Name: Optional feed name, that can be used in the widget or the inline replacement string to reference a specific feed. Any feed without a name is considered “default” and will be used if the replacement strings do not reference a specific feed. If there are more than one feed with the same name, a random of these is picked every time it is used. This also applies to the default feed(s).
• Title: Optional, which when set will be used in the widget title or as a header above the news items when inline. If the title is empty, then a default title of “Google News : <region> : <feed type>” is used. Note that as per Google Terms of Service it is a requirement to state that the news come from Google.
• News region: A dropdown list of 40 choices, determining the region/language of the feed.
• News type: Another dropdown list, determining what type of news you are after. Sci/Tech, Business, Health etc.
• Output type: Some Google feeds come with just text, some pictures or pictures on nearly every news item. Chose which one you want here.
• News item length: Short or long. The short version is really just the news item title as a one liner but probably the one most WP admins will use. The long version is a 3-4 line teaser that has been severely stripped of useless markup that Google insists on passing along, including tables, links, colour/font/style settings etc. I’ve tried to clean it up so it won’t mess up your theme. For the short version, the long text without html tags is available as a mouse rollover/tooltip.
• Max items to show: As the title says, if the feed has sufficient entries to fulfil the request.
• Optional query filter: One of the most important parts of the Google News RSS Feed is the ability to filter the news with your very own search query. Get relevant, up to date news on the exact topic you want. Note that if you add a search query, then the short item length will include an “all N news articles” link curtesy Google. If you choose to add a query, then you most likely want to set a title as well. To explain to the viewer what kind of news you have selected for them to see. The News Query isn’t like a standard Google Query, so you can’t use || between words to search for one or the other. So IF you start your query with the word OR then the rest of the words will be or’ed together. I.e. a query string of ‘OR this that’ will look for news containing either this or that. This is really just a test, so the actual query language used here may change in future versions.
• Cache time: The feeds are now fetched using WordPress builtin MagpieRSS system, which allows for caching of feeds a specific number of seconds. Cached feeds are stored in the backend database.

Clicking on a news item will of course take you via Google to the news site with the relevant article, as per Google Terms of Use.

If you want to change the look&feel, the inline table is wrapped in a div with the id “google-news-inline” and the widget is wrapped in an li with id “google-news”. Let me know if you need more to properly skin it.

2. See configuation pages under ‘Dashboard’ -> ‘Settings’, ‘Dashboard’ -> ‘Tools’ and on the widget page.

Note if you’re upgrading from a previous release, there may be some strangeness the first time you edit an old feed. Try again and it will work. Or delete the feed and create again, guaranteed fix.

Premium Option

This addon is available as a subscription from our Products Page.

Usage & Settings

• Add your ad networks by clicking ‘Create new’ under the ‘Ads’ menu. Manage your ad networks by clicking ‘Edit’ under the ‘Ads’ menu.
• Place ads in your blog posts and pages by adding ‘‘ to your blog post (where ‘name’ is the name of your ad)

More detailed installation instructions can be found here.

Faq

I previously used the Adsense Manager plugin for Wordpress. Do I need to reconfigure my ads?
Advertising Manager will automatically import your settings from Adsense Manager. There is no modification necessary. In addition, Advertising Manager will accept the Adsense Manager ad calls (”) as well.

Does Advertising Manager support Wordpress MU (multi-user)?
Yes.

Can Advertising Manager work in my language?
Yes. Advertising Manager is localised. If your blog is in another language, and Advertising Manager shows in English, then it is most likely that a translation has not been done. Don’t worry – if you are a native speaker in English as well as your local language, you can help out! Information on how to get involved can be found here:

http://code.openx.org/wiki/advertising-manager/TranslateAdvertisingManagerinyour_language

Do I still need Advertising Manager now I can manage ads through Google’s system?
Advertising manager allows you to rotate ads, easily turn on/off ads, place them in your blog, and many features other than configuration of the ad colors and format. It a critical tool to use if you want to make more from your advertising.

Why does changing Ad Format/Dimensions sometimes not change the size of the ad?
For some ad networks (e.g. WidgetBucks, Adroll, etc.) the dimensions of ads are managed through the online interface. There is no way to change these settings from within the WordPress system that would work reliably. You do not have to update these dimension settings if you update your Ad online, however, it can be useful in correctly identifying ‘Alternate Ads’ for AdSense blocks.

How can I share revenue with my authors?

1. Load YOUR ad into Advertising Manager.
2. Load your AUTHOR’s ad into Advertising Manager.
3. Name both ads the same – this will allow them to rotate.
4. In your author’s ad, be sure to select the authors username in Display Options
5. Set the weights of the ads according to your revenue share. The easiest way to do this is to set YOUR ad weight to 36, and then set the weight of your author’s ad according to the revenue share deal. For 10% revenue share, set the author ad weight to 4; 20% = 9; 33% = 18; 40% = 24; 50% = 36; 60% = 54; 66.7% = 72; 70% = 84; 80% = 144; 90% = 324. For the nerdy wonks out there, the formula is (AUTHOR AD WEIGHT) = (MY AD WEIGHT * REVENUE SHARE) / (1 – REVENUE SHARE)

1. >On any webpage, just type roohit.com/ before the URL address (e.g. http://roohit.com/google.com) and your mouse cursor instantly changes into a highlighter pen:
   • get a highlighter so you don’t have to type each time.
2. Select text, it gets highlighted in color
   • Optionally: mouse over to “Keep Private” that highlight, make comments, add tags etc.
3. Reload your website in a different browser, or – for more dramatic effect – from a different computer: see what you just highlighted automatically appear on your web-page
   • If you made any comments they would appear here too!

It IS actually VERY COOL

How difficult is it?
Easier than reading this page. A 5 year-old can personlize it, and see their changes at the same time! A difficulty rating of 2 out of 10, where 10 being the hardest.

What all can I personalize
Colors, Size, Title, AutoPlay, Speed, number of items to display, seperator properties, etc.

My widget seems to be cut-off?
Make sure that in your WordPress dashboard -> Plugins -> AutoPublish… -> Settings page: Height and Width on Page are THE SAME as the ‘actual height’ and the ‘actual’ width of the widget. Below the Height/Width values: click the respective links to see what the values should be FOR YOU. (This happens when a user changes the size of the widget and forgets to tell WordPress of the new values)

What platforms are supported other than WordPress?
You can add the My Highlights widget to any webpage: on your Profile Page on Social Networks such as Facebook, MySpace, Hi5, Xanga, Tagged, Bebo, BlackPlanet, and many more!

Glossary
MicroBookmark: a short url (e.g. http:/rooh.it/warSux) that goes directly to the highlights on a page.(Power users can think of it as reader defined anchor tags with highlights)

MicroShare: the ability to share just a small snippet highlighted. This could be as – embedded highlights (in email, or webpage) with a MicroBookmark, or – just highlights, with a MicroBookmark to the actual page so as to maintain the context and credibitlity.

MicroSave: the ability to save interesting parts of any web page automatically

MicroBlog: aka the “My Highlights” widget – allows users to automatically blog about the interesting things they saw on the Internet.

You can add it to pretty much any blogging platform or CMS or any website, anywhere!

A bit about freetellafriend.com:

FreeTellaFriend is a free service to allow your visitors to share your website with their friends. The idea is simple; you place a ‘tell a friend’ button on your website, and when your visitor decides to tell their friend about your website, they click this button which then presents them with a straightforward form to e-mail their friends.

The great addition to FreeTellaFriend is your visitor can enter their e-mail username and password (we support major e-mail providers) and our system will automatically retrieve their contact list. Thereafter they can choose who to e-mail the website to. If one user decides to e-mail all their contacts, your website will be exposed to over 50 friends (on average).

The following is supported: Tell a Friend, Social Bookmarking and Add to Favorites.

Settings

1. Add the widget to your sidebar through the ‘Appearance’ -> ‘Wigdets’ Dashboard menu
2. Go to your widget and adjust the settings

Read the whole idea behind the concept here <a hred="http://www.prelovac.com/vladimir/presenting-seo-super-comments-concept"Seo Super Comments Concept

For each user comment we will create a new dynamic page on the blog, holding the actual comment information. This page will not actually exist in WordPress database, but we will create it dynamically using a WordPress plugin.

What we instantly get in this way is big jump in site’s index visible to search engines. This is possible because blog comments are crawl-able, index-able and most importantly rank-able content. Also meaning you will start to get search engine traffic for the context of the comment.

The old author link in the comments will now lead to the newly generated page. Author’s URL will still be displayed (and we can do-follow it now as it will be only one external link on the page).

The concept relies around optimizing the target page using title and H1 tag using the context of the comment. So basically we will take the excerpt of the comment and use it to create the page title and H1 tag and in the body we will old the content of the comment (plus some more goodies, read on).

Since now all comments normally drain page rank even when nofollowed (bad for your site) the whole idea of using them to generate links back to your site instead and get free indexable content along the way, looks just much more appealing.

To spice things up, the dynamic comment page concept additionally features:

• List of author’s other comments on the post are presented (good value for the visitor, more content)
• List of author’s other comments on the blog (even more content, chance to interlink to your other posts, more value to the visitor)
• Author url links are do-followed (option, but why not?)
• Extra few clicks generated will increase your pageviews, lower the bounce rate and increase any CPM advertsing revenue
• I have also created a mod for hugely popular XML sitemaps plugin to include all the new dynamic comment pages into your sitemap, so that the search engines can index the pages more quickly.

So much configuration options… Do I need to change them?
No, only if you want to. Default values should be ok!

Does this plugin work with all WordPress versions?

I get an fopen and / or permission denied error or my sitemap files could not be written
If you get permission errors, make sure that the script has the right to overwrite the sitemap.xml and sitemap.xml.gz files. Try to create the sitemap.xml resp. sitemap.xml.gz at manually and upload them with a ftp program and set the rights with CHMOD to 666 (or 777 if 666 still doesn’t work). Then restart sitemap generation on the administration page. A good tutorial for changing file permissions can be found on the WordPress Codex and at stadtaus.com.
