Dooodls for everyone!

Wordpress logo A few days ago I presented the Dooodle application I built. You guys created some cool doodles and I totally love it!

But it’s still an independent application hacked into Wordpress using basic widget.  That means I can’t just share the code so you can use it too on your website (since you’ll have to set up a database, fill in config files, etc… Boring stuff). So yesterday I decided to compact this into a handy Wordpress plugin.
And this is what I did: I give you Dooodl!

[UPDATE] Mark asked me to share the source of the Dooodl Creator App, so I did ;) Feel free to send me links to your own creator. I might add different creators to the plugin, and let you choose in the WP-admin which one you’d like your visitors to use :)

Plugin page: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/dooodl
Direct download: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/dooodl.zip
Dooodl Creator source (Flash Builder Beta): Click

If you install it, feel free to drop me a line. Feel free to post the url to your blog as well. I’d be happy to see who’s using it and what people are drawing :-)

(And yes: If you find any bugs, do post them as comment underneath ;-) )

Have fun!

NICE! Great job! Is it possible to have the flash source of the doodle-creator too, to create my own doodle-app?

Ronny @ 10:04 - September 21st, 2009

Sure! I should let you know the code’s a mess though :p
Will edit this post in a minute ;)

Ronny @ 10:20 - September 21st, 2009

Added the Dooodl Creator source :-) Happy coding!

oorch @ 15:31 - September 21st, 2009

Doodle is now LIVE on my site oorch.com ;)

Mark @ 16:46 - September 21st, 2009

Cool shit :D If I have time I’d like to create a mini generative art doodle app thing.

Ronny @ 16:57 - September 21st, 2009

@Oorch: Cool! I sent you some happiness ;)

@Mark: I was expecting that! Looking forward to seeing it in action!

sane @ 22:19 - September 23rd, 2009

this plugin is great!
but, on my page for some reason, after drawing, the doodle is not submitted to my webspace or to the database.
maybe you got a hint for me
thx in advance

Ronny @ 22:49 - September 23rd, 2009

Which version of the plugin is installed? Since when? Can you give me a link to the blog?

sane @ 0:34 - September 24th, 2009

at the moment this is just a first test blog. thank you for your help ;D

Laura @ 18:12 - September 24th, 2009

I think I have the same problem. My doodle just never saves. I left it up there, made coffee, came back and it was still trying to save my doodle. I like this idea. Hope to get it working. I just uploaded version 8. See there is a 9 already. Will give it a try.

Ronny @ 23:56 - September 25th, 2009

Hey Sane and Laura.
I just noticed there’s a Dooodl plugin topic on the wordpress site. That’s what reminded me you guys were reporting serious issues. I thought those were fixed with the 1.0.9 update, but apparently I’m confusing some people.

Let me ask you guys a few questions: Do you use the standard WP-folder-setup? Or did you move your wp-content folder? Or is the wp-admin folder not in the default place? (I haven’t taken those kinds of changes into account (yet) so do let me know if you changed something)

Did the plugin EVER work? yes? Which version was the last one you installed and worked?

Did you see any error messages? Which ones? Did you see any error_logs? Which ones?

How did you install the plugin? Did you upload the files to the server yourself? Or did you you the plugin manager to add a new plugin (so wordpress downloaded the zip, and installed the plugin)

This is really great ! I love it.. its fun. It works good here. I’m testing it on my new domain were I want to migrate to. Some possible feature options could be to delete some images manualy bij the admin maybe.. or some sort of admin management options for the images (email verification optional or admin aproval or something )… To manage obscene drawings or whatever. But hey.. its already good. Thanks!

Ronny @ 20:59 - October 8th, 2009

It’s coming ;) Slow but surely ;)

Printer @ 19:34 - October 9th, 2009

Great :)

erica @ 5:15 - October 12th, 2009

Hi! the widget is cool. I am having an issue though… Ive added the shadowbox js and when the images come up it goes to 404 error . Can you help with this. Site is searleart.com

Ronny @ 7:48 - October 13th, 2009

Hi Erica, I just went to check out your site, and the plugin seems to be working pretty good. Let me know if you still experience problems :)

Calinh @ 23:26 - October 18th, 2009

hello dooodl is so nice but it doesn’t work it on my website ! i don’t understand ! i can”t save my pictures !!! :(

Omer Rosenbaum @ 12:26 - November 7th, 2009

Hi
I uploaded the plugin and got an error massage saying there is a missing header. Know something about it?

Ina @ 13:00 - November 7th, 2009

Hi Ronny,

I have a problem with the doodle archive, because it’s not showing the created doodle’s but just grey blocks. Any idea what could be wrong?

Ina @ 13:47 - November 7th, 2009

Hi Ronny, my doodle archive is showing grey blocks instead of the doodles my visitors created. How can I fix this?

Ronny @ 16:29 - November 10th, 2009

@Omer: I haven’t heard of the problem yet. You uploaded the plugin using FTP, i guess? You didn’t install it using the WP plugin installer? You might wanna give that a try.

@Ina: I’ve found the error. I’m updating the plugin asap. No worries. Great site you’ve got there btw. I love Matthew Perry!

Omer Rosenbaum @ 17:31 - November 10th, 2009

Works like magic.
Thanks!

Ronny @ 17:36 - November 10th, 2009

Thx Omer!
@Ina: I updated the plugin. It should be reflected online sometime soon. (1.0.11)

Brian @ 7:54 - December 2nd, 2009

Wordpress 2.8.6 appears to have an issue with 1.0.12 – It throws a javascript error in IE, but doesn’t seen to cause any major problems…The error is “Object Expected”, referencing “jQuery(window).ready(testForAutoload);”..I know that is pretty generic though…
