subList v2.4 Release


Thanks to some great feedback from users especially from Paul Kaiser who pointed out to me a major issue with my subList plugin, which was even broken in one place on this site, version 2.4 of subList has been released.

The new invocation mechanism released in subList v2.2 was severely broken, and has now been repaired, along with a fix to the way the plugin handles draft pages and attachments.

See http://jaredquinn.info/software/wordpress-plugin/sublist for full details & download.

WordPress 2.0.3 - Security Updates


This site has now been upgraded to WordPress 2.0.3, a little further behind release than I’d normally like to be, but things have been so busy lately I haven’t had a chance to do it. This release is primarilly a security update and I’d personally advise all my clients to upgrade as soon as possible.

I am available to do upgrades if you run into any issues with your upgrade or would like it done for you, please don’t hesitaste to contact me.

I’ve made a few other changes to the site during the process which will make future updating easier, mainly to do with the paths WordPress was installed into and some customisations i’ve made. If you notice any issues on this site, please contact me also.

Site Availability


This site has been down over the last couple of days due to an oversight on my part which caused it to be shutdown by the company I lease the server from. Unfortunatly it took a couple of days to resolve the issue, but thanks to their support department it is now back up and fully functional. Additional measures for redundancy have now been added, including several additional DNS servers and a backup MX server.

subList - Major Release 3.0 is now available.


It’s time for a new major version thanks to major functionality changes in subList. These changes have come about thanks to suggestions from Arun Kale and a site he is currently developing. “subList” should really now be renamed to “s[ui]bList” or list subpages of any page, but we’ll stick with the name subList for now.

The new options include the ability to specify which page you wish to start listing from (options include “current”, “parent” or an arbitary post number). If you wish to list the current pages sibling pages (as now demonstrated on my WordPress Consulting Services page, down the bottom under “Other Services”) you can specify “parent”, it automatically doesn’t include the current page.

Full documentation and download is available from the sublist page.

subList 3.1 - Minor Update Released


Another new revision to subList has been released. This backs out some of the redundant additions made in version 3.0, adds support for a new option “notext” (for text to display when no pages are returned) and cleans up the documentation page significantly.

Thanks once again to Arun Kale for the suggestion for the “notext” option.

subList is available from the sublist page.
