I updated my blog to the latest version of wordpress and it worked like a charm … as it should hahaha
After updating the progress of checking compatibility of all plugins and widgets I am using. Like most widgets that enable more instances my own widgets needed an update too

I just finished that job and submitted the new versions of my widgets to the official wordpres SVN repository.
For all people that use Wordpress version 2.2 and one or more of Breukie’s widgets, I strongly suggest to redownload and reinstall my widgets.
I’m very sorry for that, but when wordpress changes things (for the better, omong others widgets are now included in wordpress by default) and it has someting to do with widgets and or plugins … you get the idea

To find all of my widgets, use the navigation menu or click here.

Because I was working on my website anyway, I thought why not release another widget.
Like I told before, I need most widgets in multiple sidebars and sometimes even multiple times in the same sidebar or page. Breukie’s Archives Widget is able to do that
Other than that I added the ability to set all available parameters for the wp_get_archives function and added a title parameter that is able to use HTML for formatting.

Like my other free widgets, it is a pretty straightforward widget, but it will definatally do the trick for you too!

This widget is definatally the simplest widget I have made sofar. Mainly because the get_calendar function only has 1 parameter to set

As most people know, you can only set more widget instances for a couple of default widgets that ship with the widget functions by Automatic. I mostly use more than one sidebar in the themes I make and there must be a lot off other people that use themes with more sidebars. For them and people that just want more instances and options, I also released Breukie’s Calendar Widget for Wordpress. It adds the capability to set the “initial” parameter. If set to true, the day will be displayed using a one-letter initial. If set to false, an abbreviation based on your localization will be used. Other than that I added the ability to set up to 9 instances off this widget and a title parameter where you can use HTML to style your title if needed.

Like my other free widgets, it is a pretty easy widget, but it will definatally do the trick for you too!

Porting my old website to Wordpress is really starting to get shape and resulted in yet another free widget for you to download and use

On this website I (want to) use multiple sidebars for different parts of this website. Because I need to have (multiple) categories on most sidebars too, I needed a way to set up more category instances. Also I needed a couple of parameters in several sidebars and thought of a couple of other blogs and websites based on wordpress, in which I would like to have more category instances and specific cool parameters of the wp_list_categories function, available for their owners. As you might know, the wp_list_categories function only exists in Wordpress version 2.1 and higher, but the parameters for “wp_list_categories()” still act like the tags “list_cats()” and “wp_list_cats()” that are deprecated. It has a couple of different parameters and it includes blogroll link categories.

Like my other free widgets, it is a pretty simple widget, but it will definatally do the trick for you too!

SUCCEEDED!!!
You are now on a new server

Beste bezoeker,

De komende dagen ben ik bezig met het inrichten van een nieuwe server en het verhuizen van al mijn websites naar deze server.
Ook deze website valt daar dus onder en zal tot gevolg hebben dat mijn website enige tijd niet bereikbaar is.

Dear visitor,

The coming days I wil be busy with setting up a new server and moving all my website to this server.
Also this website will be moved and will be offline for a short span off time.

Yes, finally done … well, not exactly.

First I did not yet changed my design and have not ported my website completally to wordpress. At fist, I was not planning to port my website as a whole to wordpress, but because I really started to love wordpress as a tool, but also like the way it has been programmed. Lot’s of fun, something else and love those widgets too
I made two of them and you can use it on your own site by going to Breukie’s Pages Widget or Breukie’s Links Widget. In time I will relaese more widgets, plugins for Wordpress and other scripts like phpBB.
Also I haven’t updated my website in a long time, so many more things I would like to put online so it will take me a while before I not onle put everything that is allready online into wordpress, but also a lot of new stuff en preferably a new design.

Because I want to let people allready visit and read my blog, I decided to only put the blog articles and some other parts of wordpress online and keep all the rest as it was. That way I can port my website to wordpress when I have time, but I can blog and you can read in the meantime.

For now, if things look strange on my website, I’m working on it

Because I recently decided to port my complete website to a wordpress based, or blog based website, I needed a better way to use the wp_list_pages function as a navigation menu.
I could not really find what I needed, so I wrote my own little widget to display my pages the way I wanted. Resulting in this one, Breukie’s Pages Widget.
Because I later on found a cool plugin named: Page Link Manager plugin by Garrett Murphey. I now also use that plugin and made my widget compatible with his plugin. Now you don’t even need to change any code if you use his plugin and/or the default wp_list_pages function.

Like my other widget (Breukie’s Links Widget), it is a pretty simple widget, but hope it will do the trick for you too!

(more…)

As we all know that since wordpress version 2.1 the function wp_list_bookmarks is the one to use for things like random link order, exclude or include multiple categories with links.
I still miss the way I could setup and administer a link category in previous versions of wordpress a little bit (maybe mostly because I just love more options hahaha), but to be honest … with most blogs and sites you only set it up once and never change it. I never even used all sorting options, so a widget with 23 parameters of the wp_list_bookmarks function to choose and set, should do the trick

Like my other widget (Breukie’s Pages Widget), it is a pretty simple widget, but hope it will do the trick for you too!

Het is weer weekend en het enige waar ik aan kan denken is werk en wat ik verder nog allemaal moet doen.
Sja, het is druk en ik ga een beetje op in mijn werk, maar heb het naar me zin als een dolle.

Nu nog een beetje een persoonlijk leven ergens in die 24 uur stoppen
