For those who are not familiar with TDO tag fixes, its a fantastic plugin that makes up for alot of wordpress’s shortfalls in what i like to call ‘filtering’ posts. It basically allows you specify exactly what posts you want shown based on category and tag. If you were reading here a few weeks ago you would have seen me playing around with the plugin a bit and creating some random posts in the process.
What I discovered was a minor flaw in the plugin that TDO hadn’t picked up on, the new version has now been released and it’s brilliant I modded it a bit for the accommodation site to include check boxes and as far a I’m concerned the plugin is worthy of ‘core’ integration *gasp*
Well its been a LONG time coming, we first annouced this project under the name of Easy Map Info with the idea of being free to branch out it various avenues with. Since then we’ve scaled down the scope and increased the depth and pleased to annouce our completion of the the travel accommodation site Accommodation Sphere.
It’s currently running WP 2.6 with a host of custimized plugins, which I’ll write about in coming weeks. The site is straining it’s mysql database to bits right now so I’m anticipating a couple of crashes as it get crawled by the search engine.
But for now it live! *party*
I’m developing a new plugins dealing with category subs and that is why this post is present.
Here is a sample file for tamewasp of extracted 2000 records from google.co.za, searching only South Africa for “Estate agent”. Note Url’s have been truncated.

FINAL UPDATE: The official page for WP Smart Sort has moved here.
This plugin allows you to place a sort bar, with options to sort the list of posts by any custom field. You can place the sort bar above or below a list of posts in a category or archive or anywhere in your template.
Simple place <?php placesort() ?> anywhere in your template.
Options are set in the admin panel as to which custom fields to display in the sort bar.
This was originally coded by smartalien on scriptlance. He no longer develops it and I purchased the code from him. It works but I put it out there to be used and improved by the wordpress community.
There may be bugs; if you can’t fix them point them out, if you can send us the code fix.
