This plugin adds a widget that displays random items from your CafePress.com store. Requires cURL and a CafePress API Key.

== Description ==

This plugin adds a widget that displays random items from your CafePress.com store. The display uses the 150px X 150px thumbnail provided by CafePress, description, price and ‘Buy Now’ link. See it in action at OnScreenCars.com It can also cache a copy of your items to avoid hitting API limits and performance issues. Your webserver will need to have the cURL extension for PHP in order for this plugin to work. You will also need to obtain a CafePress API Key. API Keys can be obtained from this link: http://developer.cafepress.com/apps/register.

== Installation ==

1. Upload zip file contents to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Add/Configure Your CafePress Ad Rotator Widget

After you install the plugin go to Widgets, add and configure the CafePress Ad Rotator widget. You’ll
need your CafePress store id (ex. http://www.cafepress.com/mystoreid, last part of the url),
API Key and a label name for your widget. You can obtain API Keys from http://developer.cafepress.com/apps/register Once you have your widget up and running it’s best to cache a copy of your CafePress items. From the widget control panel check “Update Cache” and click Save. You can clear or update the cache at anytime. It marks the last time you updated your item cache. Whenever changes are made to your store, you need to update your cache.

About: This plugin watches your Twitter RSS Feed for user-defined “launch codes” to trigger user-defined script URLs.

Have you ever needed a script or task run on your blog and you were not near a computer with internet access? Well look no further than “Tweet My Script.” This plugin allows you to simply use your cell-phone to text a short tweet to Twitter with a “launch code.” When someone accesses your Word Press blog, Tweet My Script will check to see if you’ve left any new launch codes to activate. After each successful launch, the plugin records the previous tweet. This insures that the script being launched will only be launched once, unless the launch code is used again in a new tweet. This plugin can be used to launch any public accessible script.

Updates

Version 0.75 – March 7th 2010: Offset feature added. Allows for bloggers to set an offset on the number of times your blog checks Twitter to keep from exceeding API limits. This is ideal for blogs with high traffic or blogs hosted on high traffic shared hosting. Default offset is set to 0.

Installation

1. Upload `tweet_my_script.php` and `tweet_my_script_options.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory

2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

3. Configure plugin settings from the dashboard settings option `Tweet My Script`
