Plugins covered in presentation:
  • Cloak - Hide unwanted write post/page items
  • Fresh Post - Create custom write panels and hide default ones!
  • Audit trail - Some functions now obsolete due to 2.6 roll-back functionality.
  • Role Manager - Complete control overs user privileges.
  • wp-dbmanager - Database backup tool.
  • CForms - Great form building tool.
  • Simple Tags - Very powerful tag management tool.
Notes:
Fresh Post plugin - This has now changed name to 'Flutter' (thanks to Chris Garrett for letting me know!) and add a new layout control to it's powerful feature set.
Cloak plugin - I have now personally taken over development of this plugin from the previous developer (too good for it to drop-off the WordPress dev cycle!). I have tested it upto WordPress 2.6 and it's fine in it's current form. I will announce development news (and new home!) shortly. I will be re-naming this as I intend to roll new functionality into it in the coming months.
