I just installed this in WordPress 2.8.6 using the Thematic theme, and activated it, but it doesn’t appear to be doing anything, Wordpress is still using its own local jquery libraries.

2009-11-18T05:54:58.998+01:00

I have been using FireBug to trouble shoot this (and a few other issues) and the javascript files are most definitely not being loaded from the google api’s site.With that said, I do have a billion other wordpress plugins installed, but not the one that you mention (delink). Will keep looking into it, but don’t really know where to start as far as troubleshooting where things are going wrong.

2009-10-21T05:13:23.719+02:00

I’m guessing it’s one of two things. You may need to do that at the init hook. So in your theme’s functions.php you could add: function my_init() { if ( is_author() ) wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery-ui-core' ); }add_action('init','my_init'); It’s also possible another plugin is getting in there and insisting on the local version, or something changed in WordPress core in 2.8.3+ that I need to take into account. Are you running any other plugins?

2009-10-20T17:28:56.706+02:00

On WordPress 2.8.4 with Use Google Libraries 1.0.7.1, I’ve been trying to get jquery-ui-core to load on my author pages. I’ve tried a couple variations on using wp_enqueue_script but the page source shows I keep getting the copy of jquery-ui-core installed with WordPress. The last thing I tried was putting this bit of code in my header file, above wp_head(): <?php if ( is_author() ) wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery-ui-core' ); ?>fixed your code — Jay

Hi, this is a great plugin! Thanks! But unfortunately i am to stupid to include things the right way and can’t get anything to work. I wanted to implement a tabs in my sidebar and don’t have any idea how to include the scripts now. Could you help me out here? I tried the local js-Files but i’m doing something wrong here…

2009-11-16T05:56:22.012+01:00

Maybe this is happening because there is some plugin that is in conflict with this one. For example, I found that when plugin Delink Comment Author is activated, scripts are loaded from blog’s server, not from Google’s.BTW, you can check from where your scripts are loaded by viewing source code of page (press CTRL + U or go to View → Page Source). If there is domain googleapis.com, it means that Google’s server is used.

Hello, sailor! I love what you’ve done here — it’s the most straightforward and easy-to-use progress bar plugin for WP out there. I even hacked it a bit to display percents the way that I like (number %, instead of 5/100 %). It wasn’t anything difficult, but I can send you the code if you like.

2009-08-02T09:21:25.022+02:00

Hi Jason, In the server specs, it says my host is running PHP 4.4.9. It also said “You can enable PHP 5.2.5 as CGI binary using FastCGI”. I tried enabling PHP 5.2.5 and was able to activate the ProgPress plugin but unfortunately the switch caused other problems, like not even being able to login to Wordpress at all through Firefox and not being able to perform some of the other functions in Wordpress through IE 7 either. So it looks like the problem is due to the PHP version my host is running.

Is this error due to a problem with one of the settings on my server?Thanks in advance for your help!

Tried that and it didn’t appear to work for me, but I did find a work around that does. I do use a considerable number of plugins, so it’s possible something in one of them is causing the problem. Are there any specific plugins you know of that interact badly with Use Google Libraries?

2009-10-18T22:29:24.514+02:00

Is this plugin supposed to work with wp_enqueue_script? It doesn’t appear to be for me and the Other notes in the WordPress plugin directory doesn’t mention the function. Yet it’s my understanding that wp_enqueue_script is the preferred way to load scripts in WordPress. Am I missing something?

That's all this plugin does.

2009-10-21T12:54:03.399+02:00

That's all this plugin does. If you call wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); in you theme or plugin then it should pull it from the Google Libraries CDN instead of from your local version once the plugin is activated. What exactly are you trying to do that isn't working?

I think that SWFObject is already included, though it is not included in lists on this page or on description on wp.org.Do you plan to include suggestion I wrote here (which didn’t pass spam test) which I got from wp-hackers about inline no.conflict code? Tynan Colin Beatty sent code a month ago and I still didn’t reply to him since you didn’t reply to me :(

2009-10-17T15:02:05.565+02:00

I'll have to double check. I think i 'future proofed' SWFObject (so if WordPress Core started including it UGL would grab the one from Google). I apologize about not responding. I thought I had. If you have some code I can use for the noconflict issue please let me know. It seems the spam-filter issue is fixed at least.

Thanks. I've been planning to add the remaining libraries that are available, as well as a handful of other improvements as soon as I can find the time. Glad you're finding it useful!

2009-09-22T05:34:15.179+02:00

Hey Jason, I’m sure it took you a while to figure this all out. I have created several plugins in the past, and never had a problem with load time. Under what circumstances can load time before so compromised that is worth spending time figuring out exactly how to make the changes you have suggested here.

Hi there! I also have a problem with now reading. It only works to add a new book. If I click on manage books after I have added the book. It works perfectly. Otherwise, if I try to use the menu on the left, both manage books and options don’t seem to work. An error message is displayed: You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page. I have implemented your solution and it doesn’t seem to work. Do you have any idea what might be the problem?

@Jason Penney – I certainly can’t disagree that I’m coming at this from a different perspective. To a certain extent, this is intentional, but in other ways it’s just because I’m relatively new to the podcast audiobooks scene. In the realm of GMTA, I had decided more than a year before I discovered Podiobooks.com that I wanted to record audio versions of all my books (past and future) and offer them both on CDs and as podcasts – it’s something that makes a lot of sense, I think. I actually discovered that other people were already doing it while researching what I would need to know to do it myself – and then I had to adjust my plans and thinking a bit.Which takes us off the topic of the Amazon Rush. Which, in the original context has meant -I think- the particular tactics (a lot of twitter, in part) with the particular audience (there is a lot of overlap in the audiences of the podcast-to-print authors whose pushes were this summer) to push sales on a particular site (amazon) … but this isn’t a new idea and it isn’t one that’s going anywhere and it isn’t the end-all, be-all of a book’s sales. Outside of this narrow context, it’s just the idea of getting people excited about and aware of a book’s release date. It works for huge authors like J.K. Rowling, Stephanie Meyer, and Stephen King, and it also makes an impact all the way down the line to *us little guys* — if we do it right. Yes, it is about scarcity – before release the p-book is not available – and that’s a big part of why the release-date-push works. There’s something -an unreleased book- that people can’t have, and as we all know, people want what they can’t have, just because they can’t, so when release date comes they have this pre-created desire for a previously unattainable thing that now, on this day, is available, and they order it! (And yes, apparently a lot of these people, having already “read” the story as a podcast, don’t ever crack the book – that, I think, is a problem of consumerist society, the buying things we don’t need and won’t use.) And the being a part of something big (which they’re encouraged to brag about, ie: spread the word) and the being able to overcome a previously insurmountable obstacle (scarcity) and maybe even a little bit of wanting to support the creator (?) is what they really want from the transaction, more than a book they’ve already effectively read. All of which seems fine by me.I think you really got to the heart of it in your post, though, that it’s about doing what you can as a reader to support the authors’ career; whether that means buying the book on release day, on some later day, or donating via Podiobooks/equivalent, and then doing what you can to spread the word and grow the audience.

I’m glad that the Rush has served everyone well so far.*cough* I hope you meant to say you have a hard copy of every podiobook you’ve listened to that’s in print, or every podiobook that did the Rush, or … I don’t know, but you haven’t bought MY books, two of which are on Podiobooks, and all of which I hope to have on Podiobooks just as quickly as I can record them and get them out there.Marketing, along with getting into the “in crowd” and noticed by the “Twitteratti”, has not been my strong suit. Not to mention that my books were in print before I came to Podiobooks.com, so the “release day rush” wouldn’t have been an option anyway. But I see myself as in this for the long haul, and I know I’m at the beginning of the build-an-audience curve, so I’m trying to approach the situation from a big-picture perspective. How an author can continue to sell books for months, years, even decades after they first hit is going to be a central question of the print-on-demand means nothing goes out of print future, and I think that was a big part of what the original post was trying to address. I think central to the answer is working hard at it for a long time: both on continuing to put out new work and on getting the word out in any way you think will work so you can build and retain a loyal audience.Not just one book on one day (although that’s clearly something that helps in a lot of ways), but whatever you put out there for the rest of your career.
