ComicPress Manager 0.9 Released!
This one was a big one. Lots of big internal changes that improved performance, safety, and usability. Among the changes:
- Big Bug Fix: the plugin now only loads the editor widget JavaScript while in the ComicPress Manager plugin. This was a problem for folks like myself who put their wp-admin folder behind HTTP authentication. IF you were running an older version of the plugin, this particular upgrade is very important , as it saves on bandwidth and improves security for your site.
- Now supports moving the WordPress folder to a different location on the server (see http://www.lunchboxfunnies.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=5889#5889 ). This requires that your comics folders be at in the same directory as the index.php file that you moved out of the wordpress directory.
- Improved config editor with more intuitive choices and more robust file writing (thanks to feedback from Sunday Funnies podcast #10 )
- Prepare ComicPress Manager for internationalization . If any one wants to offer to help translate CPM into another language, let me know.
- Improved comicpress-config.php write permission detection
- Improved config checks
- The ability to disable config checks for improved performance if you know your site is set up correctly
- The ability to upload any file to replace an existing comic
- Big UI improvements
Download the plugin and give it a span. I’ve started tagging the old releases, so if you have a problem, roll back to 0.8 and post a message on the thread on the Lunchbox Funnies forum . Also, I’m looking for translators! If you have time, use the POT file in the plugin archive and send me a translation.

Does it lets that I use a remote URL? I put my images on Flickr for example - to not use my site’s bandwidth…

Nope, ComicPress requires that the images be hosted locally on your own server.
