With WordPress 2.8 releasing a short time ago, we have been hard at work tweaking our plugins to ensure they function properly in this new version. We have fixed a few bugs and have added some great new features.
Google Analyticator 4.3 Enchancements
With the newest version of Google Analyticator, we bring you a bunch of cool things. With Google Analytics recently providing Event Tracking for all accounts, we have added that functionality to the plugin. You can now track downloads and external links without effecting your page views. This information will also be broken up by Google Analytics much differently than before, drastically improving the user experience while trying to sift through the Google Analytics data. To learn more about using this functionality, please visit our F.A.Q. on this topic in our Support Forum.
Some other enhancements include:
- Adds support for the WordPress 2.8 widget API.
- Improves error reporting with API authentication.
- Prevents files that are stored on external servers from being tracked as both a download and an external link.
- Includes a minified version of the outbound/download tracking javascript instead of the full code.
- Changes SimplePie include to use WordPress’ version if possible, since SimplePie is included in WordPress 2.8.
- Adds version number to the Google Analyticator comment.
We have also fixed a few bugs that arose:
- Corrects a file extension case sensitivity issue that prevented certain download links from being tracked.
- Fixes a bug in IE8 that would not allow the widget to display in the admin properly.
- Fixes an issue where stable versions of WordPress 2.8 were not using the new widget API.
- Removes Google Analyticator comment in the header that if footer tracking is enabled.
- Fixes a text size inconstancy on the settings page.
Podcasting 2.1.2 Enhancements
Podcasting has not had as much success as Google Analyticator in terms of progress. In Podcasting’s defense however, it is a much more complex plugin that requires much more time to ensure it is working properly. We still have several large updates in store for Podcasting, so even if you do not see the enhancement you have been hoping for, it may still be in the works.
Enhancements for Podcasting include:
- Adds error messages to the admin AJAX calls.
- Adds comment with version number to header output.
