Plugins

I am pleased to announce the release of Geeklog Plugin Toolkit 0.3.0, a major update designed to simplify the creation of plugins for Geeklog 2.2.2 and PHP 8.1 or later.

The toolkit provides a command-line Plugin Generator called plgen.php. It creates an installable plugin skeleton containing the main files and structures required to start a new Geeklog plugin.

This release modernizes both the generator and the generated templates while making the creation process safer and more flexible.

I am looking for Geeklog users and developers who would like to test a new development version of the Videos plugin.

The plugin provides a complete YouTube video catalogue for Geeklog, with content discovery, playback, ratings, recommendations, rankings, moderation tools and privacy controls.

The source code is available on GitHub:

Version 0.17.1 is a development release intended for testing. It should not yet be considered a stable production release. Please create a backup before installing it or upgrading an existing test installation.

We’re excited to announce the release of the Maintenance Plugin, a simple yet powerful way to place your Geeklog site into maintenance mode whenever you need to perform updates, upgrades, or testing.

When maintenance mode is enabled, regular visitors and non-administrative users see a customizable maintenance message instead of your website content. Root users, however, can continue accessing and managing the site normally — with a clear red alert banner reminding them that maintenance mode is active.
