My first WordPress plugin

November 28th, 2008 by Nik Chankov Leave a reply »

Hey,

I am very proud to present you, my first plugin for WordPress platform – Autocompleter.

The plugin adding autocomplete functionality for the search input field of your blog. The values are the tags and categories existing in the blog and this way you will help your visitors to find easily the proper information in your blog.

My first implementation was with Prototype and Script.aculo.us, but because I like very much jQuery library and I found a wonderful plugin for autocomplete, I build it with jQuery.

You can check the demo in this blog – top right – search box :)

Hope you will like it and you will vote for it :) Thanks

The official page is: wordpress.org/extend/plugins/autocompleter

    Hi thanks looks good, I uploaded and activated and got the following error:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_register_style() in /homepages/5/d117088614/htdocs/littleforest/stream/wp-content/plugins/autocompleter/autocompleter.php on line 42

    Hi Gavin, there are 2 possible reasons for this error: a. Your version of WordPress is too old; b. Your version is too new;

    I think the reason is the first one, because I’ve check and this function exist in WP2.7, so probably it’s time to update your blog installation :)
