Right now it’s barebones. I am planning on finishing up the initial options page and releasing it this weekend. You can give it a spin now or check it out on GitHub: http://github.com/paulredmond/TwitterButton-Wordpress-Plugin

This is an example of how it works (view source to see it in action).

I am also planning to release another plugin next week, that allows you to pull an RSS feed into your clients’ dashboard. All your clients (that you install the plugin for) will see your latest RSS entries when they login to WordPress. My goal is to make it easier for WordPress developers to aggregate news to clients. You could roll out your own maintenance notices, or give them your 5 latest blog posts from your site! Stay tuned for more details

If you like Wp-EmailCrypt, consider donating. Please let me know what you think! I need feedback to make this a solid plugin.

This site compresses MooTools to about 20kb (the original file with YUI Compression weighing in at 65kb). Check it out!

The Setup

This will literally take minutes to integrate.

1. Download the PHP script.
2. Upload the file to your active WordPress Theme folder.
3. Create a folder called “cache” – Make sure this folder has proper permissions
4. Create an .htaccess file in your theme folder.
5. Create a folder called “css”
6. Create a folder called “javascript”

Making it Work

Insert the following code into your .htaccess file in your active theme. Make sure to replace RewriteBase with the absolute path to your theme folder where your combine.php script resides. Note that I made RewriteRule to be a relative path to combine.php:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wp/wp-content/themes/yourtheme/
RewriteRule ^css/(.*\.css) combine.php?type=css&files=$1
RewriteRule ^javascript/(.*\.js) combine.php?type=javascript&files=$1

You’re ready to link your Javascript and CSS files. As described on the authors site, you link your stylesheets and scripts by chaining with commas. Here is how it will look in your WordPress theme file:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/css/styles.css,
another.css,athird.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

<script src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/javascript/jquery.js,
another.js,etc.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Notes

You need to consider script dependencies, and chain your scripts accordingly. Also, make sure your stylesheets are added in the correct order or you may notice some rules being overridden. Depending on your server configuration you might have to chmod your cache folder to 777. Confirm that your cache folder contains your cached files with a ‘.gzip’ extension.

All CSS files are moved to the CSS folder in the theme. This goes against the WordPress convention of style.css in the theme’s main folder. I still have theme comment data for WordPress in my original style.css file, but I don’t use it on my site.

Major hat-tip to Niels Leenheer for creating such a great script and simple solution.
