oik FAQ

Frequently asked questions (and answers)

What does oik stand for?

oik is an acronym for “often included key-information”.

But why did you choose that?

I wanted something short and memorable. oik may not be the best acronym I could come up with but it satisfies another desire of mine to somehow be related to Bobbing Wide. It’s actually the last word before Bobbing Wide… if you know where to look. For more information see Rethinking the Bobbing Wide API plugin name.

From where can I download it?

Here –> oik WordPress plugin OR if you want the Drupal version oik for Drupal

How do I install it?

See oik installation

Which is the latest version?

You should always download the latest version of the oik plugin on WordPress.org Version 1.2 should be available on 19th August. Version 1.1 was released on August 10th Version 0.8 was made available on the 19th July. Previous versions include: 0.7 – 14th July, 0.5 – 16th April, 0.4 -21 Feb 2011.

What does it do?

The oik base plugin provides a series of WordPress shortcodes that take the pain out of producing commonly used information. You provide this information once on the oik options panel. Other plugins extend the functionality: to provide PayPal buttons, to provide call-to-action button links, ability to use Widget Wrangler with Artisteer v3 themes, etcetera
