I’ve released WP Project Manager plugin few months back. It’s an awesome piece of plugin IMHO. Working single in a project like this along with client project and other personal project is hard. It takes time to improve it a lot by working alone. There are many areas where it can be improved.
So, are you a developer and got some spare time? Why not tinker with WP Project Manager and make it more awesome?
I was looking for a plugin that will work like IMDB movie rating does, but didn’t found like what I wanted. And they were bloated with features like GD Star Rating. So spend some hours and wrote one myself.
Features
Creates a table {wpprefix}_imdb_rating
Using IMDB_Post_Ratings::init()->rating_input(); inside a post, provides a 10 star rating. Change the number using the filter ip_base_rating. Cool huh?
You can give a rating, also then can remove the rating, give again, remove again, give again…
Functions
IMDB_Post_Ratings::init()->rating_input( $post_id ) Inserts the rating star bars.
IMDB_Post_Ratings::init()->get_top_rated() – get top rated posts. Supports 3 parameters, post_type, limit, offset
IMDB_Post_Ratings::init()->get_rating( $post_id ) – returns rating for single post.
From the first day of WP Project Manager plugin release, frontend functionality was the first demand. Today, I’ve released an extra plugin to add the frontend functionality. Managing both the backend and frontend is a daunting task, so I separated the frontend functionality to an another plugin.
However, this is a premium one. It needs WP Project Manager plugin to work, installing the frontend plugin just brings the project management functionality to the site frontend using a shortcode. Using the shortcode, either you can display all the projects in a page or a single project in a page. Version 0.4 (current) or higher version of the Project Manager plugin is needed to work on frontend.
Features:
Show all projects via [cpm]
Show a single project id [cpm id="project ID"]
It doesn’t now supports project creation feature from frontend
I started working on this project almost 5 months ago. That time, I decided to create all the functionality on my own, without using WordPress custom post types and taxonomies. So I created my own database tables and created all the functions. But later on, it seemed like I made mistake choosing that path. As this was a lot of codes, I mean LOT of codes to rewrite, so I stopped right there.
Last month, again I took the project and wanted to finish it. So I kept working and managed to improve a lot and migrate everything to native WordPress, with custom post type.
So here is the demo of the plugin, how it works. It’s not refined yet, but that shouldn’t be really a problem if you are going to manage your projects right now. I haven’t submitted the plugin on WordPress repo yet, will do it soon..
Today I found the plugin Teleport for keyboard navigation in WordPress. This plugin has a really slick UI and animation and I loved it. But it lacks keyboard shortcuts. So I started coding to build a tiny plugin that doesn’t have that much slick UI, but can do the job very nicely.
? brings up the shortcut help
This keyboard help popup is inspired by gmail keyboard shortcut help
We have released a new WordPress plugin named WP SMS Verification few days ago. The purpose of this plugin is to verify site users via SMS and let them show some protected site contents.
How it works
This plugin works via shortcode. If you want to show some post contents to only verified users, you will wrap the protected contents with this shortcode. If the user is not verified yet, users can be either loggedin user or just visitor. They will be prompt to enter their mobile phone number and a 4 digit code will be sent to their phones via text message. Then you’ve to enter that code here and you’ll be verified upon providing the right code.
Plugin Features
Verify users via SMS and show information only to verified users.
Verification works for both logged in and not logged in users.
Admin can make users verified manually (if user fail to verify themselves through SMS )
Unregistered or Visitor users can see restricted information by verifying their mobile number as well
I created another plugin few days back, it’s called Advanced Search Widget. I’ve created many customized search form for many clients, they were same kind of tasks. Searching through taxonomies and custom fields.
So I built this plugin, you can build your search form as you want with custom fields and taxonomies. Drag-n-drop, well, not pure drag and drop form builder, but similar. You can define your search field type and comparison type and can build the search form on the fly.
I was trying to find a way to send email to post commenter’s, but this Email Commenters plugin hardly solves the issue. It just puts an email icon at the admin bar, clicking that link goes to your email client. And it didn’t worked for me as the email address were broken.
So here’s the plugin, just select all post or select a single post and click next. All the email addresses will be fetched and will be added to the Bcc list. Compose your mail and give a subject, hit send. Easy as pie.
