Kaitora Designs

Ever wanted to make it easier for people to share your images around the internet, well with this simple plugin, it’s now got so much easier. Easy Image Share checks your post for any images you have included, and then appends some text areas to the end of your post.

Currently, it provides HTML and BB code. The plugin works instantly from activation, and automatically grabs the image URL if an image exists in the post. Should an image not exist, the plugin won’t affect a post.

Future versions will include the option of where the link returns the user to, rather than the default location, aswell as other choices of outputs, and an option to defer the plugins use on posts if the user wants it not to work.

An example of the plugin in use can be found HERE

I’ve been away for a while, since I lost my internet temporarily. For some reason, my router acted up, but the person responsible for arranging the internet insisted it was the ISP, so after almost a week without internet, we are back online.

We’re just finishing up work on our friends website, and making some pages to our twitter page right now. Look forward to our return soon.

So I’ve been contacted by a friend, and I’m performing a drastic overhaul to his website, so expect some delays on both updates and releases on here whilst I perform this overhaul.

We’re starting to embark upon our first project, a Paypal donation script and plugin. We are making 3 versions of the script, a wordpress plugin, a mybb plugin and a standard script so that users can utilise it on their webpage. We are starting with the main script, and then adapting it for the use for plugins.  We aim to offer the following features:

• an admin panel for just the script version
• monthly or one off targets
• the option of a graphical bar to show progress
• an option to deduct paypal fee’s from the donation progress shown
• an option to have multiple targets and donation topics

We have started on the creation of this, but due to time constraints at this moment in time, it could be a short while before it appears as a download, however, we will be featuring the working script on this blog when it is converted into a wordpress plugin.

We feel we finally have a decent grasp of the whole MyBB system, we feel ready enough to announce some of our first planned plugins. Please be aware this is not a definite list, just plans for some we feel we are able enough to create at this moment in time. The current list stands as:

• Minimum post count to use [URL] mycode
• Paypal donation with a graphical target button
• Hide from guest mycode
• An army/rpg battle system
• Newsletter system with opt in for guests
• Link exchange system

These are just a few of our current ideas, there are currently more, but we want them to be a surprise to you. We will be starting with some of the more simple plugins for now, and then heading onto the bigger plugins when we gain more confidence in our ability to create plugins. Please be aware these plugins are currently being created for MyBB version 1.4.x, but we are aware of the upcoming 1.6 release.

So we’ve ran a few MyBB sites, and we still have one running, and coupling that with our knowledge of PHP, MySQL and some AJAX, we are taking the leap into creating some plugins. So after a bit of investigation work, we’ve learnt as much as we need to start with some plugins.

It will however be a short period of time before anything is released or is visible, and we intend to start with something small firstm just to ease us into the whole thing. However, when we’re move comfortable with it, we shall be heading onto more adventurous plugins, and extensions to some plugins that already exist.

If you have any ideas for some plugins you’d like to see, you can either PM us on MyBB Central (username Kaitora) or you can leave us a comment on this post, untill we set up the contact form and support forums.

For those of you who remember there used to be a blog here before, Kaitora Designs has changed it’s focus. Rather than being a design site for bespoke work, we’ve changed our orientation towards the design of scripts and themes, aswell as providing services for webmasters.

This doesn’t mean that we’re giving up on bespoke work completely, however, we’re be prioritising our time and efforts into our own work. Those who do request our services on a bespoke project, will be considered, however, it will have to be a project that appeals to us, or be different from most projects out there.

Look forward to us producing a variety of scripts, plugins, themes and tutorials for you to enjoy.  We look forward to unveiling some content for you soon.
