I upgraded to 2.0!

Okay, for my non-blogging, non-IT-savvy readers… you may want to only skim this. :-)

I just upgraded to WordPress 2.0 and it was painless and fun. I’m still getting used to writing from the new interface. I do lament the loss of a couple plugins I enjoyed… including my spel chekker and my image handler.

Update: I’m on pot. And my spell checker and image handler plugins both still work. Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

One plugin I was not willing to lose was CG-Amazon… the tool I use to display what I’m currently reading, listening, etc. However, Internet Explorer caused CG-Amazon to hand out two warnings (loud and clear) after upgrading to WordPress 2.0. I contacted the author, David Chait, and we came up with a fix:

Go to your WordPress directory and add the following code to WP-config.php.

// ***** IE-warning fix for CG-Amazon *****
include_once('wp-content/plugins/cg-plugins/error-handler.php');

    Be careful upgrading any further. I just discovered that the newer version of 2.0.2 and even WordPress 2.1-alpha1 have a conflict with several of Dave’s programs, including CG-Amazon and CG-WhatTunes… argh!

    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wp_get_current_user()

    There is an include-once PHP directive you can put in your header file that will fix the problems with ChaitGear plugins… unless there’s something in 2.0.2 that screws it even further.

    I’ll post the code when I get back to NY… I’m pecking away at my PocketPC right now. :-)

    Yeah, I’ve been back here in NY but I haven’t built up the nerve, or spare time, to upgrade up to 2.0.2. If there’s reason to believe it may break some of my plugins I will want to wait a little bit. :-)
