I have have several people ask if reCAPTCHA and its WP plugin works with aWP. Unfortunately, the plugin was not very AJAX friendly, but the good folks over at reCAPTCHA — in a very aWP-esque move — created an open platform that allows other people to modify the interface and incorporate it into existing projects. I’m happy to announce that reCAPTCHA has been integrated into aWP by default as a module and can be used, without effort, on any WordPress blog that is running aWP.
In further developments, the advanced structure created by AJAXed WordPress allows it to painlessly and finally offer Lightbox support on images that are loaded dynamically. For all that have been wanting it: today is your day.
My original goal in recreating Inline AJAX Page as AJAXed WordPress was more than just a name — INAP originally stood for INline Ajax Post — and a version change, it was to create an AJAX application for WordPress that goes above and beyond what one would normally expect from a plugin and create a platform that anyone can use on their website, or in their projects.
Oh yay…yippee…It seems that lately most everything that I post — especially posts about WordPress — are being auto-scraped and ending up displayed in “feed-reader” websites that are just the next generation of splogs. So what am I doing about it to protect my WordPress blog? Simple. I’m adding more links to my past posts.
The sites claim that they aren’t doing anything wrong, and I do have to give their arguments credit, so here is the catch: if they remove the links, then they are modifying my content and aren’t “just another feedreader”, so I can report them, if they leave them in, I can get a little more traffic and “google juice” — although the later is falling in importance and relevancy —, or if they notice this post and remove my site from their list, I get what I really want. It is basically a win-tie-win scenario here.
After a round of bug fixes and updates we have a release day.
AJAXed WordPress combines AJAX and WordPress to extend the design and functionality of the interactive elements of any WordPress website. ((Which translates to: mmmmm AJAX…cool! 
)) Version 1.01 changes are minor and just fixed a couple tiny bugs from the .99992 release, but this marks the official move to the WordPress repositories and its own extend page. As of this release, aWP is considered stable and INAP is officially unsupported considered dead.
Future Posts Calendar displays future posts on the write post page and can also be used as a widget. Version 0.7 fixes a little JavaScript bugs which made it impossible to click on numbers in the month of January, several other tweaks, and it adds a “temperature gauge” by Flavio Jarabeck which allows you to see how many posts you have on a single day at a glance.
AJAX’d Wordpress is now officially a release candidate which translates to an advanced Beta. I’m hoping to officially release within a few weeks, but I will only do this after there has been ample testing on different themes and with other plugins, so I am looking for a few good, adventurous souls to help me test it in different environments.
This website has been running aWP for several week and there don’t seem to be any problems, but please ensure that you test this plugin in a developmental environment before using it on a live website. AJAX’d Wordpress is built off of INAP which was reaching maturity, so I don’t expect there to be a large number of problems, but it has changed drastically, so I expect at least a few new bugs have been created. I am also concerned about compatibility with other plugins.
It seems something with the blogrush widget was eating my left-hand sidebar in IE, so I’ve removed it until I can scour through the code to find the bug. The worst part is that I don’t know how long it has been doing it because I don’t usually open my website in IE unless I am changing the styling.
Sorry for any confusion or weirdness. It just goes to show that you can’t trust random widgets you find on the web.
Luckily though, it made me revalidate my website and it seems that three different plugins were causing validation errors ranging from adding the “border=0″ attribute to images all the way up to invalidating my entire sidebar. I can understand minor errors like adding the border=”0″ attribute to images, but when the latter half of the page is invalidated, something is seriously wrong. The offending plugin has been removed and probably won’t be reactivated.
I knew I wasn’t going to have time on Monday to upgrade to the official version of WordPress, so I did the next best thing and upgraded to the latest release candidate. Yes, it is risky, but I see the word BETA and think “mostly stable” instead of “partially unstable and likely to cause lots of headaches in the next few days.”
If you find any bugs on the site, please let me know by emailing me. Especially if these bugs have to do with INAP.
