[wp-hackers] [OT] Testing needed for WordTrails plugin fromXerox

[Silverstein, Jesse]

Working up a php snippet to add trail following to post templates is on our to-do list for a near-future version. We realize that not everyone has sidebars, or wants to use them for trail following. However, if someone hacks it out for us, it may get added sooner, so everyone can benefit :) If you're interested in pulling the information, check out the WordTrailsWidget class for details on how to access the data.

The issue of XHTML compliance is a tricky one. The plugin was developed with XHTML compliance in mind, but we have slipped in a few places. I will be addressing the easy-to-solve issues in the next version of the plugin. However, the sidebar widget and trail index use divs with border-radius CSS, which is not css2 compatible. I think we would like to keep the rounded corners, but in doing so, we may be dropping the possibility of compliance. That said, once we fix the rest of the compliance breaks, it would be easy to rip out all of the border-radius entries in our css files (conveniently located in a css folder).

I supposed another option would be to separate out all of the non-compliant css into files that are only included based on settings in the plugin. That way, people who don't mind the css compliance break can get the pretty divs, and people that need compliance can get it.

Thanks for the feedback so far. Keep it coming!

Exactly what I said and exactly the first mod I will do to this plugin.

I cannot presume that my readers have 27-inch monitors.
