Introducing WordPress Plugin Template
For those who write plugins, I have create free template/scaffolding code I call WordPress Plugin Template for writing plugins. It is aimed at helping making lots of commonly done code easier and quicker, and generally bootstrapping the process of getting a plugin written.
WordPress Plugin Template generates scaffold/template code to create a sophisticated WordPress plugin. The template code provide convenience hooks and functions to save you from re-inventing the wheel and to follow best practices.
The template code includes:
- plugin life cycle management
- hooks for install, upgrade and uninstall actions
- fuller options management
- easy administration page creation
- easier short code creation
- easier way to create Ajax handlers
- easier way to enforce security
- more!
