As a reminder, this article is the third of a series called Write your own plugin for Wordpress
When a Wordpress plugin becomes active, it might be interesting to do some processing (such as database creation, options filling, and so on…). To do so, Wordpress is providing a very usefull function that will enable you to call your own initialisation function. It’s called register_activation_hook($file,$function);

Here come a short video tutorial for a better understanding of ZdMultilang.
ZdMultilang presentation Video from Anthony PETITBOIS on Vimeo.
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).
