Your Weekly Devot:ee - February 10, 2011

devot:ee

Rob Sanchez (@_rsan) went off the deep end and gave the community five new add-ons this week, on his birthday. Usually when you become a new dad you work less, or you might take it easy on your birthday and have a few beers, but Rob once again proves he’s basically a selfless EE Superman. Thanks Rob, and to everyone else who contributed new and useful add-ons this week.

  • APStylee (for EE2) by Micky Hulse
    APStylee plugin converts a timestamp into an Associated Press style formatted date and time.

  • Template Code (for EE2) by Rob Sanchez (Barrett Newton)

  • Solspace Update Advisor (for EE2) by Solspace

  • Simple Registration ($, for EE2) by Bjorn Borresen
    Simple Registration simplifies the ExpressionEngine member registration process. It’s a stand-alone registration form which you can output anywhere in your templates - so you don’t need to edit the “member templates” to get a signup form (ie. the /member/register template). You can also select which elements that are required in the signup form, and you get the form code generated so it’s all plug’n'play.
  • Stash (for EE2) by Mark Croxton
    Stash allows you to stash text and snippets of code for reuse throughout your templates.
  • GET and POST Variables ($, for EE1 & EE2) by Laisvunas
