Here come a short video tutorial for a better understanding of ZdMultilang.

For your information, video capture zone won’t show you how the permalink is handled, so this is the way the plugin will manage urls to access the page in a specific language. For example, this blog uses fr and en which can give this : http://www.zen-dreams.com/fr/zdstats or http://www.zen-dreams.com/en/zdstats
Here is a quick post just to tell that I’ve updated my main Wordpress plugins.
ZdStatistics will now allow you to check your blog’s performances, using SQL Queries count and Page load time. Don’t worry, version 1.1.5 will allow you to get performances through a chart. This will allow you to see major changes when activating various plugins.
Another function introduced in this version is the Top Ten. This will show you top ten pages, referers or visitors over a period of time.
Btw, remember that if you upgrade the plugin, you’ll have to grab the latest GeoLiteCity.dat as described here.
Thanks to the update of ZdStatistics, I could identify a major problem with ZdMultilang, which was the huge amount of Sql Queries made to the database.
So this is the only change for this version, I cleaned up the code and optimized Sql queries to give it more performances. As an example, my main page got from more than 240 queries to display to only… 23. Globally, I use a caching technique that will make no more than 10 queries on your pages.
You own a flickr account and would love to integrate a gallery on your website, might it be into the sidebar or directly into a page. Here is a tutorial to show you how to proceed.
First, you must connect to your Flickr account, and then go to this address (I can’t remember the complete path to go there).
Then, Flickr will give you two options for the generated module. The first one is a pure HTML one, which will allow you to share your pictures to anyone. The second module is Flash based and will give you users a better visual experience but may not be compatible with everybody’s browser (for exemple, iPhone still doesn’t support Flash).
Wordpress 2.5 has only been out for a few monthes now, but there is already a new major release which is Wordpress 2.6.
This new version introduce some functions like post revision (modification followup). This will allow you to have more control over modifications done to your posts and checks what have change since the creation of an article. Very handy when you have multiple writers on the same blog.
Google Gears support, will allow you to fasten administration page display via the caching of CSS and JS files.
And finally, theme preview. This will allow you to make sure your design looks good before to apply it. It works the same way as Wordpress.com’s feature.
You will find the complete changelog right here.
One final note, due to the possibility to move your wp-content directory, some plugins may not work until they are updated to take this into account. But zdstats and zdmultilang are fully compatible as I tested them without moving these folders.
