Introducing WP “Notes” plugin

Published: On Sunday, January 18, 2009

I had free hour and half today and God knows why I decided to do this plugin. Simple, but extremely useful, in my opinion. For me, it's place to leave notes about future articles, possible topics, ToDos connected with that particular WP site.

    is it multiuser ready?

    ↪ OndroNR No, all users that have access to Notes (= the with administrator rights) share same textfield and its content. It's not intended to be used by more than one user. Yet.

    I think it would be nice if there would be shared and private notes

    Agreed with Private/Shared or Current User / All Users. Also would love to see this as part of the dashboard. thx.

    ↪ Kel: Thank you all for sharing your opinions. You are definitely influencing priorities for features in upcoming versions. Unfortunatelly, I'm not able to say when it's going to happen…

    Great plugin. The only minor problem I have is that its icon does not show up in the admin. Instead I have a broken linked image icon. I have the same issue with Add Quicktag plugin.

    ↪ Sourena Mohammadi Thanks for report, please try the newest version, I believe it's fixed.

    And I will add the plugin to official repository now so next upgrade will be simpler for everyone…

    Since now, plugin is available from the off. repository (so you may use the upgrade or search → install features).

    Kahi:

    I went to upload WP-Notes and tried to activate in WP and I keep getting an error message about line 22 and line 23? Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Rick

    ↪ Rick Most likely is your server running too old version of PHP. You might try to ask your hosting provider for PHP 5.

    Kahi:
    This is a sweet plugin! I am setting up a company blog for a brand development company and found this is a great way for me to communicate with other administrators on the project. That being said it would be cool if this plugin could act as a collaboration message board of sorts for all my team members submitting posts. Food for thought.

    ↪ Rob I can't imagine any simple way how to transform this one-file-notepad into usable collaboration tool. (Can you?) Maybe a privitely published page with enabled comments could do better. Sorry.

    Great plugin. I'll use this quite a bit. Any plans for adding this to the dashboard or does that already exist?

  16. 16.  Kahi [author] wrote: On May 9., 2009 comment number 16

    ↪ Eric Barb It's planned. And it shouldn't be too dificult, so you can expect it in the next major release.

    I think that if you would add a function on it to pull a copy of the note to your dashboard (not to edit, but as a reminder) that would be great. Just one box like a post it. A more link would be good too. That way I can leave myself a story reminder, and be refreshed by the sticky each time I load my dashboard. If I want to edit the content, THEN go to the link at the bottom.

    Also maybe a way to prioritize notes, more than three or so. That way „to do“ lists would be a little easier to manage.

    Those are about all I can think of.

    ↪ Joy Phillip Seem to me quite different from current Notes principle – like stickies for WP. I could maybe do somethink like that one day, thanks for your opinion!

    Hey,

    Listen I really love your plugin. Works great with WP 2.8.1 but with WP 2.8.2 it crashes!

    Here's the error:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‚}‘ in /nfs/c03/h04/­mnt/57871/doma­ins/bdc.sandvi­per.net/html/wp-content/plugin­s/kahis-notes/knotes.php on line 15

    Please! Please! Please! Please! Please! Fix this! :-P

    I've integrated your plugin into my WP design workflow and depend on it!

    Please update when possible!

    Thanks!

    FOLLOW UP!

    Ignore my earlier post!

    That error was generated because my host PHP was set to Vs. 4.x – I changed it to version 5 and now the plugin works fine! Yippee! I'm happy as a schoolboy!

    Do you have a new version as I am getting this error when activating the plugin:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‚}‘ in /home/httpd/vhos­ts/xxxxxxxxxx­.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugin­s/kahis-notes/knotes.php on line 23
