Sticky Preview and Publish Buttons by FibroJedi

बदलांची यादी

1.5.2

• Firstly, my apologies if you updated tonight and it crashed. I’ve been working on fixes.
• [Typo] Fixed: incorrect displayed version on the settings page. It’s 4am. That’s my defence!
• [Bug] Fixed: Options having the wrong one selected in Settings despite saving correctly.
• [Bug] Fixed: Word Count correctly outputting in both Normal and Compact modes.
• [Update] Various additional updates inline with Plugin Checker.
• [Update] Dynamically setting the CSS file(s) version number which should mean no hard refreshes in future. In theory.

1.5.1

• [Bug] Fixed an error in the confirmation notice upon plugin update.

1.5.0

• WordPress 6.9 Compatibility checked and version updated.
• Full run-through with “Plugin Checker” and making necessary changes.
• Previous Beta CSS moved to the main stylesheet.
• CSS only loads on the editor screen and SPPB options screen. As it always should have. cough.
• Beta option hidden as I have no new options being tested yet.
• Various colours tweaked to improve contrast. Or just because they looked nicer.
• [Options Page] Post Types red/green colouring done by CSS rather than JavaScript.
• [Options Page] Fixed WordPress #wpfooter overlapping the options panel.
• [Options Page] Various layout tweaks.
• [Options Page] Fixed border colour, as this was supposed to be a preview of the border you’re setting for your tab. It’s working again.
• Misc other bug fixes.

1.4.7

• Checked for compatibility with WordPress 6.8. If you notice any errors that I’ve missed, please report them using the forum. Thanks!
• Readme.txt: Removed the section on planned features and replaced with an FAQ-like response instead.
• Readme.txt: Removed Twitter and Facebook from the ‘Contact Me’ and replaced with BlueSky. Mastodon was already there and is retained.
• Added BlueSky link to the SPPB row in Plugins.

1.4.6

• [Fix] “ArgumentCount Error”, which cropped up when searching posts should, hopefully, be fixed.
• [Tweak] Removed obsolete PHP comments and most debug lines. Putting my trash in the bin, basically.
• [Compatibility] WordPress 6.7.1

1.4.5

• [Fix] Admin page detection for RankMath compatibility.
• [Update] Save Post Method: Improved RankMath meta description saving.

1.4.4

• [Fix] Error with links on the Plugin page, which may have affected some users.
• [Fix] Wrong button size loaded in compact mode.
• [Tweak] Minor update to allow future changes to your tab depending on the mode you have chosen.
• [Tweak] Reduced opacity on disabled post types (where you chose not to have the tab) for visual clarity on enabled ones.
• [Tweak] Disabling post types (for the purposes of hiding the tab) shows reduced opacity. Enable again for Bright-Green-ness!
• Compatibility with WordPress 6.7.0
• [Fix] Sorted out my brain melt over versioning and version numbers should now be consistent everywhere.

1.4.3

• Compatibility with WordPress 6.6.3
• [WIP Bug Fix] ensuring that OpenGraph, Title and Meta Description all save in RankMath, when the SPPB save method is “direct” not “simulated click”.
• [Fix] Updating the links on the Plugins page to make sure they open in a new tab.

1.4.2

• Fixing the Short Description field required by the plugin repository. Well, I say “fixing”, but this is my third
  attempt. My apologies for the multiple updates and inconvenience I’ve caused.

1.4.1

• Adjustment to plugin tags and other header data.

1.4.0

• Compatibility with WordPress 6.6.1: Sorry this took so long to confirm. If you spot any issues, please do report them.
• [Fix] Compatibility with “Dark Mode for WP Dashboard”: Options page is readable if you have this plugin installed and have not disabled Dark Mode in user options.
• Minor text alterations on the Settings page.

1.3.4

• Compatibility with WordPress 6.5.5: Apologies for missing 6.5.4!

1.3.3

• Compatibility with WordPress 6.5.3: I cannot see any errors or issues, but if you do, please do reach out so I can fix them. Thanks!

1.3.2

• Apparently, the plugin system didn’t like me trying to use four numbers for versioning. So I’ve this 1.3.2.
• Bug Fix: display issue in Post Type list on the Settings Page.
• Updated reference to the stylesheet: the new CSS is always (and only) downloaded when the plugin is updated.

1.3.1

• Bug fix: background colour for the ‘success’ notice when saving settings. Please do a hard refresh of the settings page as for 1.3.0.

1.3.0

• People using “Light Mode” or a lighter admin theme should be able to read the options page again. Whoops, sorry.
• The options page also displays in a readable format if using a “Dark Mode” browser extension. I tested on Dark Reader. I am not affiliated with them and others are available.
• The Options page information bar wraps under the options table at certain window sizes. It doesn’t squash in any more.
• As these changes involve CSS, please do a hard refresh of your browser while on the SPPB page.

1.2.9

• Changed Twitter contact information to Mastodon/Fediverse. I will still occasionally check Twitter, but cannot guarantee how quickly.
• Tested to WordPress 6.5.
• Fixed incorrect version number showing on settings screen. Whoops.

1.2.8

• [Bug Fixed]: corrected a hilarious case of the estimated word count being 2-3 times higher than it should have been.
  ** There are still minor differences between what the in-built editor says and my calculation due to how symbols and numbers are interpreted.
• Compatibility with WordPress 6.4.1 confirmed.
• Removed various PHP and HTML comments.

1.2.7

• Note: Compatibility with WordPress 6.4
• [Bug Fixed]: Undefined variable error in compact mode, when the option to show tooltips was set to ‘No’.

1.2.6

• [New Option] Choose whether the Update/Publish button simulates a click on the default WordPress button, or whether it saves the post.
  ** This was introduced to enable you to save posts via SPPB even if another plugin conflict interferes with the default Update/Publish button.
• [CSS] Button spacing in Compact Mode increased. (I put some in…)

1.2.5

• [New Feature] Compact Mode: have a minimal tab that contains just the ‘core’ buttons and nothing else. Keep it simple, keep it small.
  ** If you had Word Count shown on the normal tab, you can view it by hovering your cursor over the “Update” button.
  ** You can switch between modes in Settings.
• [New Function] Proper Uninstall Function: all options are now deleted from your database when you remove the Plugin. Deactivation does not delete your settings.
• [New Function] Initial welcome notice sent on activation. All being well, this should be a once-per-installation deal!
• [Animation] Default Animation updates:
  ** Changed the animation CSS inline with cross-browser compatibility and “composited” animations.
  ** They should be smoother too.
• [Settings] When changing the border colour of your tab in settings, the ‘glow’ around the settings changes too.
• [Settings] Alternate rows coloured differently for clarity.
• [Settings] Added more “Distance from the Top” options. You can now choose a multiple of 5, rather than just 10.
• [Bug Fix]: preventDefault() typo when being asked to confirm the closure of the tab.
• [Tweaks] Moved the default off-screen position further off-screen. This prevents overlapping other widgets in that part of the post editor. It was annoying me, so I guess it annoyed others too!
• [Tweaks] Increased the width of the border so as to make it more obvious now the tab is further tucked away.
• [Tweaks] Attempts to prevent you setting a “top” value of over 80% if you’re in Normal Mode. If you have this to >80% then the tab may not fit on your screen.
• Update compatible with WordPress 6.3.1
• [Beta] Enable beta mode in Settings if you want to test it out.
  ** Changed animation method to prevent browser errors about CSS animations.
  ** To avoid the scrollbar conflicting with the mouseover intent of the tab, scrolling is disabled until your cursor it out of or away from the tab.

1.2.1

• Tested, and updated description to mark compatibility with WordPress 6.3.

1.2.0

• Stylesheet tweaked: Doing a “hard refresh” of the settings page should be sufficient to update it.
• New Option: Set the border colour of the tab. This also reflects in the options panel’s UI.
• New Option: choose post types and post formats you do not want the tab to appear from. For example, on a Video or an Aside format, where it doesn’t really help!
• Typos corrected.
• Removed an old word-count function.
• Removed comments/test code that sneaked in from betas past.
• Added Twitter/X link on the plugin’s screen so you have a point of contact as I don’t publicise an email address.

1.1.5

• The blue action button now reads differently depending on the status of the post: published (and public), private, draft and password-protected. This is just for clarity of labelling – the functionality has not been changed.
• Added a confirmation to the circular X button. This just ensures you don’t close the tab accidentally. (It will return on the next save/publish or reload action if you do!).
• Bug Fix: “Headers already sent” error should no longer be a plague. If you’re getting this, please open a help thread as it may be a plugin clash.

1.1.0

• Support added for other post types. Previously this was done by specifying which ones to allow. This makes the default behaviour that it appears for all custom post type, for example.
• Currently disabled on post formats, where I think it’s an unnecessary process for your system: e.g. link, aside, chat etc. If you’d like to see this as an option, please let me know.

1.0.3

• Tested up to WordPress 6.2
• A note in the plugin file (line 80): You can change the items in the array to include shortcodes you wish to be removed before the Word Count is calculated. For example, tables of contents. I will make this an actual plugin option, hopefully in the next version.

1.0.2

• Tested, tweaked and verified with WordPress 6.1

1.0.1

• Minor Bug Fixes.

1.0

• Proper release! Minor bug fixes, text updates and settings page amendments.

0.6

• [Bug Fix] Word Count now expands shortcodes, then strips the HTML tags, making its estimate far more accurate.
• [New] Quick link to skip to the main custom fields panel. I will add an option to disable this in due course.

0.5

• Sliding Effect put into options, so that, if you have a resolution of >=1200px you can keep it visible rather than have it slide away.
• [Bug Fix]: The (X) link was hiding the button area inside the tab, but not the whole tab. This has now been fixed.
• [Update]: The word counting method has been rewritten and is now much closer to the number given in the editor.

0.4

• [NEW] (Screens/Resolution >= 1200px) FJ-SPPB now slides off to the right so it’s not overlapping metaboxes. Hover over it to use buttons and it’ll slide back when you’re not hovering (the cursor, not you). Animation done through CSS so is browser-dependent, but most modern browsers should be fine with this.
  Next Version: I will make this an option within FJ-SPPB’s settings.
• [Formatting] Reduced the link to settings to the same font size as the word count. Added space between those two (relevant only when both are enabled in settings.)
• Checked compatibility with WordPress 5.9
• [Bug Fix] Switching the [Settings] link off did not work in some cases. This has been fixed.

0.3

• New Options for the Sticky Tab!
  ** Show/Hide Word Count
  ** Show/Hide link to Settings
  ** Set distance from the “top” of the screen from 10% to 80%. Higher than 80% not available in case it gets pushed off the screen.
  ** You can now set an opacity for the tab, which lets you see other metaboxes behind it. Opacity will always be 100% when your cursor is over it. Users of tablets or other touchscreens where you choose not to use a mouse/trackpad should keep this at its default of 100%;
• [X] link to close the tab until next save/publish action, now appears as a blue circle on the right on resolutions >=1000px to make it more intuitive. <1000px screens will get the lightweight [X] as before.

Note: “top” is calculated from the top of the top meta box, rather than the top of the screen, so that you don’t cover up Screen Options, Help etc in the top bar.

• Added link to SPPB settings in the Plugins list.
• moved the ‘top’ attribute from the external CSS and added it inline.
• [Bug Fix] Activation error in some cases. Apologies, that one’s my bad. All tested and working now.

0.2.5

• Bug Fix: [Save Draft] button now correctly appears in the tab on new pages or posts that have not yet had an actual official draft saved (post_status = “auto-draft”). This has been tested and works as intended.
• Bug Fix: [Preview] no longer attempts to preview a new post that does not yet have a title/assigned permalink. This prevents an error 404. Once the title field is completed, [Preview] continues as normal.

0.2

• Added word count estimate. Not because I thought others needed it, but I did.
  ** It is intended to set this as an optional extra in a future release rather than on by default.
• Confirmation dialog when using the [Update] and [Publish] buttons. This does not affect the functionality of the default buttons at the top of the editor.

0.1.5

• Added [Publish], [Update] and [Save Draft] buttons
• Added the “hide for now” link.

0.1

• Initial Version with just the [Preview Changes] button
• Retroactive Patch: Updated function names with fibrojedi_ prefix as opposed to fj_ per guidelines.
