The Wordpress Bar Plugin Overview

[diphax]

Can this be used to automatically work with links from a custom field? I don't have links in the post itself but on a custom field so the bar does not load when you click on that link. Any solutions ?

You know, a lot of people work hard to create their content, and format their web sites. It is wrong for one to steal other's work. What happened to asking for permission?

People are hotlinking full websites with those bars. I hope he's not proud of that creation because it's causing major problems right with hotlinking thieves. I have a blog that is now in two locations permanently thanks to that friggen bar. I'm working with Go Daddy to get it down - that'll be a while, meanwhile my bandwidth is climbing because I have 25,000 photos in two locations! You can take that bar and stick it where the sun don't shine.

@PseudoKnight - how is this poor web practice? How does this impact other WP plugins? Its fully compatible w/newest versions...this plugin is simply brilliant & WP users would be smart to add it...

I've never been a fan of this type of linking. This is what tabs and browser functionality are for. Essentially overwriting outside URLs by scraping outside content, even if there's a clear delineation, is poor web practice, imho. It also has a number of other impacts on certain wordpress/plugin features that can cause issues. Of course, there are some heavy hitters out there that disagree with me (like digg) and are big enough to get away with it.
