Habari has a policy that themes and plugins do not include links to designers' and developers' sites. This policy is one that hopes to prevent spam, linkfarm, or other links that make your Habari site an income source for someone else without your approval. However, I feel that one of the major rewards of Open Source development is the "Hey! This is awesome! Thanks." you get when you do good work. To that end, I've made the "Credit Due" plugin for Habari. What it does is gather the author information from the active theme, and any active plugins on a Habari site and makes them available for display within your theme. You can see it in action in my sidebar under "Credits".

I've contributed it to the Habari Community, so you can view it's page on the Habari Wiki and download it there. Bugs can be filed on the Habari-Extras trac.

Let me know what you think!

Yet another reason to love Open Source! I adapted the Lifestream plugin by Chris J Davis and Drunken Monkey Labs, to create my links page. I give it the URL for the feed for sites I link to, and it retrieves the most recent post for each of them. It's, at best, a beta version, because of my "brute force coding" style. I really don't understand exactly how everything works. But it does work!

You can download it here. A quick note, the theme linkstream.php file will probably need some adjustments to look decent in another theme.
