Minor change in this bug fix build: PHP magic quotes (default on) causes the “‘” been escaped to “\’”, then “\” itself escaped to “\\”, and so on…. a simple stripslashes should fix this issue.

[ChangeLog]

• fixed the magic quotes issue

As promised before, a version (0.6.0) of Grid Archives just got released.

[Change Log in this version:]

• added settings page in admin
• added options in settings for user to specify the maximum post title and maximum post content length
• added options in settings for user to specify the monthly summaries
• remove .grid_archives_column width property
• trim monthly summaries before parse

Grid Archives finally got released on wordpress:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/grid-archives/

To be frank, this can not be called a stable release, there’s still a lot more work to do:

• add options page for users to input monthly summaries and other possible options (excerpt words length, grid size, color etc)
• tweak css to be more compatible with different themes

These are the 2 big items current in my mind, and also the things that are very critical to make the plugin really “works”.

So my suggestion is: DO NOT install this version (0.5.0) of grid archives ⁱ, instead, waiting a few days after Grid Archives really get mature. That shouldn’t take very long as I’m currently actively developing it. You can also fork me on github if you’re interested and do not want to wait just a couple of days.

1. You may have to manually edit the plugin file after installation, well, 80% … [↩]
