Author Avatars List 1.5

I’ve just released version 1.5 of the Author Avatars List plugin.

Changes in this version:

• Added page_size to shortcode options (see below)
• Added Romanian translation from Alexander Ovsov of  Web Hosting Geeks (Web Geek Sciense)

page_size: Max number per page

With this set paging markup (“<< 1 2 3 4 5 >>”) will be displayed below the avatars block.
The avatars are reloaded via ajax.
Note: this code is only used in the shortcode in page or post and not in a widget.
Example: [authoravatars page_size=10]

You can download the new version as usual from the from the WordPress plugin repository or of course simply install it using WordPress’ plugin update feature.

Please let me know if you have any problems with the page_size change.

Ownership change

As of now, I am stepping down as maintainer and handing over ownership to Paul Bearne, who will provide support and drive further developments.

Thanks Ben

New Blog!

It was about time that the Author Avatars List plugin got its own “website”… (Up until yesterday it has only lived in the Plugin Directory).

This blog is going to be the central place for development updates and plugin documentation.

The next few things that I am going to do are…

1. move existing documentation like the developer docs and shortcode info to this blog (done!)
2. create a list of suggested features from emails and forum topics (done!)

I hope this is going to be useful and I am looking forward to reading some comments…
