Well the drop down menus auto-populate with the subchildren… so i am wondering if that output can be directed elsewhere… for instance, a different menu?

I see that there are 3 menu areas, but when you have one item selected in a menu, how do you specify that children of the current menu selection should be visible in a different menu?

Ok so i think it is that GoDaddy (who is hosting my site) doesn’t have the newest version of php… This is sad. I will stay at the 0.3 version till they update php.

I was using the auto update within wordpress.

Please disregard the previous 2 comments – when your plugin creates the directories, the permissions did need to be added to read. once fixed, it works

upon further testing, it appears that nothing within the wp-content/uploads/wp-favicons directory is externally visible. is there some permissions thing?

I just checked – so your cache code works in that it makes directories, and it puts images in them.

However, when i navigate to the URL in a browser (or i go to one of my websites) the images cannot be found.

Any idea why that may be?

I don’t know if the cahce is working – i have links such as youtube that have not cached icons…

Wow – this is awesome. I don’t know what you have in your future change log – but you could easily imagine giving the users the ability to specify specific icons for the file types (vs just no icon). Just as you were thinking about caching icons or allowing users to overwrite them – you could add specifying icons for file types too. ??

[MINOR FEATURE REQUEST]

1) You have a list of file types NOT to add favicons next to. That may be something nice to have in the settings, rather than a code change, since i needed to add one.

2) If you start CACHEing in V0.3, you may need to also add a “clear cache” option.

3) I am not sure how you check if a link is to a local page or not? I have a link on my REAL hompage (joshua.hailpern.com) which is to /news-updates, yet it is viewed as being an external link. Not sure if this is international or not… (this is so minor)

4) So while you are just using Google for favicons, when a cite doesn’t have an icon, it returns that globe thing. I like this. But others may not. You may want to add a check box in the settings along the lines of “if there is not favicon found, use google default, or specify a default icon.”

But really man, this is a fantastic plugin that makes me super happy and glad to use.

Ok the bug was in the widget i was using which didn’t use the apply_filter command – so your code never got called

Now it works great

Cheers

I just turned them both on, and said save – the content is working now, but that IBM link in the widget area still doesn’t show up… any ideas?

I am sorry to keep posting, but V0.2 made all link images stop working (0.1 worked fine for body text).

I have a test-bed site, where i try out all things:
https://hailpern.net/wordpressTest/page-number-2/page-2-a/
The word “Goal” is an html link to IBM.com
and in the widget on the right, is a link to IBM.com
but no images appear.

I am not sure how to help debug the problem – please let me know if there is something i can change.

Really, all I would like is the ability to have this detect links in my widget area. I could imagine a plugin setting so that admin can turn on/off where the favicon detection should happen… but really, I just have links in my widgets and would like icons there.

So the Downloads widget I “made” though it is really just a holder for the Post Links plugin’s post_links(); function.

But here is my code. Please let me know if you can help b/c this is where I need your icons to show up.
