Version 2.0 of Gregarious is currently in development and is shaping up to be the biggest, best looking and easiest to use social bookmarking plugin going around. Seriously, it’s good. The biggest change will be the interface - I’m reusing bits of the Rapidweaver “Placeholder”, so expect some real goodness as far as the UI is concerned. Extra options, as well as many requested features will make their debut and Gregarious will go from being a plugin to a critical extension of Wordpress. I’m even thinking of adapting it (later) to work on other CMS systems and even standalone PHP pages. I’m very excited about the latest developments, and eagerly looking forward to hearing your suggestions for the next big thing in social bookmarking. Let me know if there’s any features you’d like to see added to the plugin, and I’ll be sure to work them in if they’re doable. If you’d like to stay updated with pre-release versions of Gregarious, just let me know and I’ll regularly send you updates to try out before the big one!

Thanks to all of you for making Gregarious such a big success!

Testing Gregarious

A lot of people seem to be having trouble running the Gregarious plugin, though it’s working fine on my site - or is it? This is just a test to see if the plugin picks up the referrer as Digg. If it doesn’t, that means that the change at Digg was big enough to warrant another overhaul of the plugin. Since Gregarious is one of the more advanced plugins, it checks back to Digg to ensure that the referral was really from the Digg page and not from a comment. Could this be the cause of the complaints, as Digg just went through another update? If the Digg badge shows at the bottom of this post, it’s proof that the plugin still works. Otherwise, I need to bury my head in code again to make a few more changes to this social bookmarking plugin.

So, is it working?

Requiring no editing of templates, and a simple point and click interface, Gregarious is the ultimate social bookmarking plugin for Wordpress.
