Today I just had to code. For days I’ve been studying for my last exams (I hope!). Kevin Mehall made me the suggestion to add a preferences button on the dialog manager in order to allow a user to set the preferences/configure a plugin. The idea is based on the Gedit system. I think I never gave credit to Gedit but I actually based allot of things on their plugin system.

It looks like this:

You can read about it and how to make your plugin configurable in the plugin howto along with all the other info.

For the past two/three days I’ve been fighting with video in linux to make a screencast. I found out that recordmydesktop didn’t work in any of my computers (it was always so slow!). I finally got it to work in a old laptop, a compaq evo n1020v and was able to record the plugin working.
After that I had another challenge, to edit the four small videos into the final video and finally to be able to use the html5 video tag I had to add the ogg mime types to apache’s config.
Well.. the result was this video (still a little sluggish, the next one will be better):

For those that don’t have a html5 compatible browser, here is the youtube link or the direct link to the ogg video.

There are still some glitches in the plugin but in a general way it works ok. More features are coming soon!

I’m still looking for a multilanguage or multiligual plugin for WordPress that fits my needs.

I’m looking for a plugin that lets me mark the posts as being of a certain language but also lets me translate posts or pages.
Finally the plugin needs to let a user filter the posts by language or see all.

qTranslate has almost all these features. It just misses the “show from all languages” as a filter. I will check again later for that but I’m almost sure that the feature is not there. Maybe with some minor hack…

Anyway, if any one knows a plugin that does what I’m looking for, please let me know!
