WordPress Plugin Template

WordPress Plugin Template

Meant to be a starting point for WordPress plugins with an emphasis on modular design.

Features

• All files in the ./lib folder are included by the main plugin script
• All reusable, or standardizable, code should live in ./lib
• The stock version of this template contains a ./lib folder with a number of php libaries that will be useful for many scripts, this is actually just a submodule which you can add to your other plugins using

git submodule add git://github.com/jtrussell/WordPress-Plugin-Script-Library.git lib

• Try to avoid bloating your main plugin script with function declarations
• Library files - or classes with all static methods - should be prefixed with "lib-"
• Proper class files should be prefixed with "class-"
• Other php files in the "./lib" folder will not be automatically included

Getting your plugin ready

Eventually there will be a configurable deploy script, but for now...

• Do a global find/replace on "template_" for "your_plugin_slug_"
• Update _deploy/readme.txt and move it to the root directory
• Delete the _deploy folder
• Update the static attributes at the top of lib/lib-wp.php to match your namespacing preferences
