I’m back at writing plugins, this time I wanted a simple way of displaying all the plugins I developed on my website, so I decided to dive in the WordPress.org API documentation to understand how could I do to get a list of all the plugins I have, hosted on the Plugins directory for WordPress.
And here we are. Another WordPress plugin is coming to life.
This time I was looking for a simple contact form to use on a customer website, and after a little testing I decided it would have been much more interesting to build one myself so, after just a couple of weeks, my contact form is ready to hit the Plugin Directory on WordPress.org.
It’s actually waiting for review but if everything goes well it should be out in the wild in the next few hours.
Yesterday I was looking at a website, and noticed they had some animated .gif going on showing some bash commands, so I started looking around for ways to record my shell while I use it, and that’s how I found out about asciinema.org,
danixland-countdown is a simple plugin that adds a widget that you can load on your sidebar which will show a simple countdown to a future date that you can set. this plugin makes use of a simple css stylesheet that you can enable or disable at will. You can also link the countdown to whatever url you want.
Installation is very simple and straightforward, you can find the plugin in the plugin directory, straight from your WordPress admin area, or you can download it from the website and manually upload it to your WordPress install.
This plugin ships with the font used in Calculator-7 by styleseven, it’s free for home use.
It’s a very simple plugin after all, anyway, if you need help with it just let me know in the comment box below and I’ll do my bestt to help you.
Quando si tratta di fare le cose in modo automatico mi diverto sempre a buttare giù degli script che mi aiutino a superare la routine.. 🙂
E’ il caso di wp_manager.sh, uno scriptino che è in grado di installare e aggiornare da svn tutte le installazioni locali di WordPress che ho..
Lo script può essere lanciato con le 3 opzioni seguenti:
-h che visualizza solo un breve testo di aiuto e poi esce senza far nulla.-i <nome> che installa i file di WordPress nella cartella “nome” e ci copia dentro un file wp-config.php pronto per l’uso con i dati del mio database locale di MySQL e si occupa inoltre di copiare i file del plugin WordPress-importer nella cartella wp-content/plugins/ all’interno della cartella “nome” appena creata.-u che si occupa di aggiornare all’ultima nightly release tutte le installazioni di WordPress presenti nella document directory del mio webserver locale..Come potete vedere l’opzione di default è -h così lo script non fa danni e vi spiega come usarlo al meglio.. 😉
Continuo a scrivere il plugin “danixland-subscribe-to-blog“, anche se oggi sono un po’ bloccato a livello mentale..
Queste sono le funzionalità attualmente implementate:
Funzionalità che vorrei aggiungere:
I’m still writing “danixland-subscribe-to-blog”, a plugin that mimics the behaviour of the “subscribe-to-blog” widget on WordPress.com.
This is what the plugin is capable of at the moment:
And here are the functionalities that I’d like to add before releasing the plugin:
