We have a new plugin called the “PixoPoint Auto-update plugin” available. It makes it easier to setup themes and plugins to auto-update themselves without needing to be hosted in the WordPress.org plugin or theme repositories.

We needed a super small WordPress plugin for a client of ours which allowed us to have control over the CSS of individual words in each page title. We did this by applying a filter to the the_title() function which split each word out and I applied a span tag with a unique class to each one. This plugin is available on the “PixoPoint Add Span Tags to Titles plugin” page.
If you would like to use the functionality of the plugin but prefer to include such functionality in your theme, then simply include the following code in your themes functions.php file:
/**
* Primary span tag adding function
* Code from PixoPoint Add Span Tags to Titles plugin (http://pixopoint.com/products/add-spans-to-titles/)
*/
function pixopoint_add_spans_around_words( $name ) {
// Initially check that it doesn't contain HTML as that's bound to mess things up
$check = strip_tags( $name );
if ( $check != $name )
return $name; // Just spit out original string if HTML was included - no sanitization as assumes that user intended to include HTML
$name = explode( ' ', $name ); // Explode inidivual words into array
foreach ( $name as $number => $key ) {
$new_name .= '<span class="word-' . $number . '">' . $key . '</span>' . ' '; // Add span tags
}
return $new_name;
}
add_filter( 'the_title', 'pixopoint_add_spans_around_words' ); // Filtering the title

One of our clients required a very simple WordPress plugin to allow them to collect email addresses on their site and to output those in a convenient format. The result was the PixoPoint Email Submit plugin which adds this functionality to your WordPress install.
The design of the submit form can be modified via your themes stylesheet.
The plugin has been submitted to the official WordPress plugin repository and will hopefully be available there shortly. In the mean time, check out the PixoPoint Email Submit plugin page for a download link and more information.

The WP SlimBox2 plugin for WordPress is a jQuery version of the WordPress Slimbox plugin. It was developed and is maintained by Greg Yingling (malcalevak). The SlimBox plugin creates animated jJavascript powered overlay popups of your images. This new version has many improvements over the original, including the addition of a plethora of options to allow you to modify it’s behaviour. The use of jQuery allows for better integration with other plugins and a smaller size and therefore faster page loads.
The WP SlimBox2 plugin features more options than any other Lightbox/Lightbox clone plugin for WordPress yet
Support for the plugin is being hosted in our support forum by the plugin author … WP SlimBox2 plugin support forum
When clicked, your images will be enlarged in a professional looking animated overlay.
Thanks to Greg Yingling (malcalevak) for creating this great plugin. More information is available on Greg’s site and in the WordPress plugin repository.
Support for the WP SlimBox2 plugin is available in our support forum.

This plugin is a replacement for the now defunct Suckerfish dropdown menu plugin for WordPress.
The plugin generates the code necessary to create a Son of Suckerfish horizontal dropdown, vertical flyout or horizontal slider menu. The plugin produces W3C valid HTML and CSS and only requires Javascript to function for very old browsers such as IE 6. The Javascript is held in an external file which is linked via IE conditional comments, so only the browsers which require it will download the file. You have control over what items (pages, categories, archives, blogroll etc.) appear in your dropdown via the plugins options page.
To style your menu, head over to the Multi-level Menu CSS Generator page. Simply copy and paste the CSS from the generator to the plugins options page.
Demo is available here … Multi-level Navigation Plugin demo
The plugin is available for download here … Multi-level Navigation Plugin
Add the following code wherever you want the dropdown to appear in your theme (usually header.php) and activate the plugin in your admin panel.
This code adds a button for your home page and dropdowns for your Pages, Archives, Categories and Blogroll.
<?php if (function_exists('pixopoint_menu')) {pixopoint_menu();} ?>
You can modify the look of your dropdown by using our new Multi-level Menu CSS Generator page. The generator has been designed with this plugin in mind, so just copy and paste the CSS code from the generator to the plugins options page.
If anyone out there would like a custom designed dropdown, then please get in touch with us via our contact page for pricing information.
The menus (CSS sourced from generator page) have been tested (and work correctly) in the following browsers:
Mozilla Firefox Version 3.0
Mozilla Firefox Version 2.0
Mozilla Firefox Version 1.5
Opera Version 9
Safari Version 3.0
Google Chrome
Internet Explorer Version 8 RC2
Internet Explorer Version 7.0
Internet Explorer Version 6.0 (with Javascript on)
Internet Explorer Version 5.5 (with Javascript on)
Internet Explorer Version 5.0 (with Javascript on)
There is a list of live examples in our forum … live examples
Thanks to Patrick Griffiths and Dan Webb for their article which we used as a model for the CSS used in this plugin. And thanks to Miriam Schwab for writing the blog post which motivated us to create it.
