Your Weekly Devot:ee - January 13, 2011

After installing Ampersandwich on your deliciously beautiful ExpressionEngine site, you type nerds may want to wrap your skinny emo selves in an Ampersandwich Tee from Simplebits before updating your Gravatar image and pulling that into your site with the new CE Gravatar. Just sayin’.

• CE Gravatar (for EE2) by Causing Effect (Aaron Waldon)
  This plugin facilitates the use of Gravatar images in your ExpressionEngine templates. It provides an easy interface to all of the options currently available for Gravatar images. You can even run a conditional statement to check if a Gravatar image exists for an email address.
• Country Variables (for EE2) by Big Unit Solutions
  Allows you to make global variables country-specific. For example, declare a variable ‘phone_number’ just once and give it different values for different countries. Can automatically detect country based on ip address too.
• Ampersandwich (for EE2) by Scott Boms
  This plugin encodes ampersands in ABBR tags to allow them to be targeted using CSS selectors so the best one can be used as suggested in Robert Bringhurst’s “The Elements of Typographic Style”.
• NSM Transplant ($, for EE2) by Leevi Graham (Newism)
  NSM Transplant is an ExpressionEngine 2.0 port of LG Replace. The purpose of the plugin is to temporarily cache rendered tagdata and re-render it outside of its original context eg: a {exp:channel:entries} tag.
• Profile AntiSpam ($, for EE1) by Laisvunas
  This extension displays a panel containing list of suspected profile spammers in Control Panel’s home page and simplifies their banning.
• NSM Publish Hints (for EE2) by Leevi Graham (Newism)
  NSM Publish Hints is an ExpressionEngine 2.0 custom field that allows you to add togglable publishing hints and instructions to the Publish form.
