New Improved Bsuite! Or Not…
July 24, 2006
Casey released bsuite b2v6 today. This is a fantastic plugin for WordPress which does a lot of heavy lifting and can help to better leverage the long tail of your content. Frankly I wouldn’t run WordPress without it. This bug fix release clears up a lot of little nagging problems, including some substantial performance improvements. Best of all is the “Top Movers” section that will show you stories that are performing better than they usually do. This is an indicator of stories that have somehow become hot.
OK, now for the downside, at least from my perspective… Over the last pile of months running Bsuite I had rolled a few of my own modifications and enhancements. I’ve started rolling these back in, it’s a work in progress. You can grab my slightly modified version with this functionality added back in, I’m affectionately calling it bsuite b2v6z. The ‘z’ on the end indicates you are running my tweaked version. As Casey rolls out new versions I’ll try to stay on top of things and release this derivative work out to the happy masses! With each release, hopefully I can continue to get Casey to roll in some of my changes.
For anyone wondering why I’d bother doing this, well…
1) I’m not the kind of guy who runs anything “baseline”
2) Casey can be slow about new releases so I might as well do it then worry about convincing him later
3) It is GPL’d so I can!

I re-pinged him :P
He contactd me, gave me some extra pie and I backed off…
[...] What happened to the bstat_refsforpost function?! Shortly after Casey posted his release, Zach released Bsuite b2v6z, his new derivative of Bsuite. Zach writes (and I agree with him hands down): This is a fantastic plugin for WordPress which does a lot of heavy lifting and can help to better leverage the long tail of your content.

Hi, do you think the Bsuite plugin helps in SEO? Or increases traffic to your blog from Search Engines?
Hello,
I installed the b2v6 plugin from Casey and only activated the bstat_recentrefs function on the footer. But what I actually need is the bstat_refsforpost function and the problem is, I can’t find the bstat_refsforpost function instruction here http://maisonbisson.com/blog/post/11390/
Does the b2v6 still have the bstat_refsforpost function? (Because I can see you’re using it on this blog. Do you modify the b2v6 so that it still can show incoming search term for every post page on your b2v6z?)
I wish you can help me. Thanks a lot.
