Thanks for that cheat sheet. That’ll definitely help.
As far as making it easier to use and modify, my plan is to eventually turn it into a module, but that might take a while. (Our first child is due on Friday, so diapers are gonna take priority

I just updated the code in the first post with a lot of comments that hopefully will help more people figure it out in the meantime.

@kratos: Grab the latest version that I just posted. As far as "how to use it" in its current form, you just kind of have to go through the code with your favorite text editor and modify it to fit your needs manually. There are examples of everything I could think of, but you’ll need to know a little bit of PHP and jquery. The best thing may be to remove everything but one of the lines (like the first 2 lines that hide the longtitle), make sure that works, then add in additional parameters one at a time. You’ll probably also want to remove section 2 and 3 until you’re more comfortable with how it’s working.

Thanks for your help, it’s now working just as I had hoped.

Great work Brett, I have to dig into this a bit to get it working but I’ll get back with feedback as soon as I can !

I’m going to be remaking this with MooTools in the near future. If anybody has feature requests or ideas to make it more powerful or usable, please let me know.

On a related note, if anybody has experience with modules and wants to help make a front-end for this, PM me.

(I’m posting on this thread instead of the plugin support thread since it’s more development than support. Somebody let me know if that’s a bad idea.)
