Current state of stripShow

Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know what’s going on with stripShow at the moment. I know it’s been a while, and 3.0 is way overdue. I’ve been very busy and have not had a lot of time to work on it. However, the project is not dead. 3.0 is almost ready, and [...]

New arrow sets

stripShow user Phillip Wright has created a few new sets of arrows for AutoComic, and has been good enough to share them with us. Each set is in several different colors to match your design. Check ‘em out! If you wish to use them, they go in wp-content/plugins/stripshow/iconsets.

Recent releases of stripShow

Just a quick note to update you on some recent minor releases to stripShow: 2.5.1 I was made aware of an issue which prevented AutoComic from being used on non-English sites. The tooltips that appear when you mouse over the navigation arrows couldn’t use non-Western characters. So that left out, oh, most of the world. [...]

stripShow Wiki

I’ve created a brand new wiki to serve as stripShow’s documentation. I figured a PDF file simply isn’t the best way to document such a robust and changing piece of software. Plus, there’s the fact that all of you get to help! I know I’m not the best writer of documentation. Maybe someone out there [...]

stripShow 2.5 Released!

I’m pleased to announce the release of version 2.5 of stripShow, the all-in-one webcomics solution for WordPress! Version 2.5 features AutoComic, allowing webcomics creators to use virtually any WordPress theme, not just themes designed specifically for webcomics.

2.5 beta 1 and AutoComic

So I’ve released a beta of 2.5 — don’t install it on a production server, all the usual beta warnings, etc. One feature that I’m excited about in 2.5, that I didn’t mention in the previous post, is called “AutoComic,” and I thought I’d take a moment to share a little information about it. One [...]

What I’m working on for 2.5

Hi, everyone. stripShow 2.5 is nearing completion, and I thought I’d update you on what I’m working on. These are some new features: The Add Comics page is going away. This is a part of my ongoing project to integrate more tightly with WordPress. Now, you can set comic options, upload comics, etc., from the [...]

Facebook compatibility

At the request of a user, I’ve been exploring ways to integrate stripShow with Facebook. Rather than reinvent the wheel, I think the best thing to do would be to see if I can integrate sS with one of the existing WP plugins that allows Facebook posting. I’m testing WordBook now.

RoleScoper

I’m having a lot of fun playing with a plugin called RoleScoper. This is pretty cool — it allows you to create your own WordPress roles and exercise fine-grained control over what users can do. It allows you to restrict content, for example. How might this affect webcomics creators? Well, let’s say you want to [...]

stripShow and WordPress MU

I’ve been curious recently about WordPress MU — a branch of WordPress that allows multiple blogs to be run from one installation. Seems to me like using stripShow with this software would be useful — you could be your own DrunkDuck or Keenspot, for instance. So I downloaded a copy of WordPress MU, and installed [...]

    While I don't maintain stripShow for a living, I wouldn't say no to a little donation, if you think the plugin is worth it...
