=== FAVIROLL - FAVIcons for blogROLL === Contributors: andurban Donate link: http://donate.andurban.de/ Tags: favicons, links, icons, blogroll, bookmarks Requires at least: 3.x Tested up to: 3.2.1 Stable tag: 0.5 == Description == This plugin convert the favicon.ico from the blogroll sites into PNG images and save this in a local cache file. The conversion process works just on the admin-page, visitors don't have to waste time to wait for favicons from remote websites. If a blogroll entry was added or modified this single Link will be updated. All cached icons can conveniently be assigned to any of the bookmarks, just a mouse click. The plugin fallback to a default icon, if on the remote websites cannot be detected a valid favicon. The default icon can be configured like any other bookmark. == Screenshots == 1. two blogrolls examples with Faviroll icons 2. where you find faviroll in the backend and the initialize button 3. working spin while building the cache images 4. the backend panel == Installation == 1. install & activate the plugin. 1. initialize plugin with by clicking the 'Click here to start' button. 1. the favicon cache will be created. 1. play. == Changelog == Explanation: * FEA = Implemented feature * BUG = Resolved bug * OPT = Optimization * CLN = Cleanup/Refactoring * OTH = Other = 0.5 = * FEA: Complete redesign of the backend-panel with many customizing options and usability improvements * FEA: No submit button any change is saved immediately via ajax technology. * FEA: Possibility to assign any image for "custom icons", workaround to use an icon with a better quality. * OPT: Full Code maintenance. = 0.4.8.2 = * OPT: Code maintenance for WP 3.x = 0.4.8.1 = * BUG: Ooops, I've overlooked a little error in my code, made one test too less, "mea cupla". ;-) = 0.4.8 - Codename: "Dixie's fix" = * CLN: Code Refactoring: Code structure completely rewritten, a lot of bugfixes and runtime optimation.
* FEA: Implementation of Windows BMP processing. Some site using this image format which can't process by PHPs GD-Library.
Until now these proprietary formats was (non optimal) passed by Faviroll. * BUG: Some Sites deliver Favions larger 16x16 pixels and proprietary formats wasn't shrinked to 16x16.
(Issue Request from Dixie. Thanks for feedback, "Dix").
I've found [http://phpthumb.sourceforge.net/](http://phpthumb.sourceforge.net/) to solve the issue.
This superb library is able to convert Windows BMP icons up to 32 Bit to [GD image](http://php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php) which Faviroll needs.
Conclusion: Favicon handling is more complex I thought at the beginning, but I don't give up. = 0.4.7 = * FEA: Options has a new checkbox for disabling faviroll/style.css (Request from Dixie) = 0.4.6 = * BUG: Icon Color "irritation" is fixed now.
Many thanks to: http://www.tom-reitz.com/2009/02/17/php-ico-to-png-conversion/ * OPT: Users asked for WordPress MU support....Here it is. * OTH: Revisit default days changed from 14 to 180 days (1/2 year should be enough) = 0.4.5.1 = * CLN: Code "polish" * OPT: Try to enable/disable the availability with http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-render-blogroll-links/ = 0.4.5 = * BUG: Parser has not recognized Blogroll-Links with additional attributes like title="...", rel="...", etc.
Many many thanks for patient debugging support of: http://www.heiniger-net.ch/daniel * prepared for the new version of http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-render-blogroll-links/ * Unfortunately this plugin needs a little patch. See Screenshot-4. = 0.4.4 = * CLN: Settings panel now you can find under "Links". * OPT: Image type recognition. Just the ICO image is converted into PNG.
All other image formats are bypass direct into the local cache.
This will maximize the usage of the foreign favicons. = 0.4.3 = * CLN: complete (re)design cache file handling, fallback strategies and -finally- the integration into wordpress. * OPT: Added style.css to easily edit the faviroll css classes. = 0.4.2 = * CLN: little code correction = 0.4.1 = * BUG: in cache directory creation fixed = 0.4 = * BUG: unable to create cache directory.
Some user feeback reports the plugin is unable to create cache directory which anchors in plugin folder because of missing write permissions.
Now I use wordpress core function `wp_upload_dir()` to create the (persistent) cache into the "uploads" note.
= 0.3.2 = * OTH: same like version 0.3 = 0.3 = * OTH: internal "fight" with subversion. No code changes. = 0.2 = * CLN: added screenshots * OPT: switching the transparency automatically rebuild the icon cache * BUG: increase execution time to max. 5 minutes at (re)building all icons to avoid **Fatal error: Maximum execution time of xxx seconds exceeded** = 0.1 = * Initial version == Upgrade notice == There is nothing to do for you == Frequently Asked Questions == = Do the plugin work with WordPress MU? = Yes, plugin is WPMU compatible up to version 0.4.6 = What's about favicons of https (SSL) Websites? = The plugin is 100% written in PHP. In PHP it isn't possible to decode SSL sites, so the plugin try to fallback to "[curl](http://curl.haxx.se/)". If this is not available on your webserver, the favicon will not displayed.
