XenWord 3.4.2.0: WordPress Dashboard Support Widget

[LPH]

XenWord 3.4.2.0 now includes a WordPress dashboard support widget. This is enabled through the XenWord options panel and is off by default.



Some sites have been testing some of the changes made under a version labeled 3.4.1.1. This has been bumped due to the addition of the widget as well as the check for the presence of the PHP mbstring extension.

This version is incomplete. I'm not satisfied with the changes to the Online Widget code and I've already started to make changes to the discussion link.

For example, instead of a long complicated use of get_post_custom_values such as the following:

$thread_id = get_post_custom_values( 'thread_id', $post_id );

It is far simpler to call $post->thread_id.

$thread_id = $post->thread_id;
