It seems that in the process of getting the mass editing features working yesterday, I inadvertently borked something else! I thought everything was working fine, but when I reloaded the main page, I got no response, and php.exe was slamming my CPU. Not good. I wanted to get it worked out, but […]

I spent yesterday creating the interface to perform mass operations (i.e. operations on multiple items at once), and today I started adding some functionality. I’ve just started, and the code is pretty messy ATM, but here’s what I’ve got so far:

Move Items - Select the items you want to move, choose the section you […]

I’ll admit, when I first added the option for a user-definable extension to posts (i.e. post-name.html), I did it because it was the only way to get the darn thing working. I needed that extra bit of text to help differentiate sections from posts from categories from tags. Without it, Wordpress couldn’t determine […]

Categories are nice, but truthfully, given the choice, I’d probably use tags wherever appropriate. Whereas categories are innately related to each other based on their hierarchy, tags initially do not have any relationship with each other. It’s by their pairings that relationships and meaning are formed. Which tags are associated with another […]

Well, that wasn’t so hard after all
Displaying items in a section filtered by a category is now working!
I was thinking it was going to be harder because I was initially thinking I was going to go with Worpress’ default category functions to display categorized items, which I would then have to figure out […]

Actually, that was yesterday. After I got RSS feeds working again (again, a result of my custom rewrite rules), I set out to get feeds for sections working. Simply put, I wanted there to be a feed for every section (e.g. http://domain.com/section-name/feed) which displayed the latest items (articles, blog posts, etc.) in that […]

I just finished adding the ability select where a new section will be inserted by choosing the section you want the new section to appear after.
This was the first time in a while that I played with pushing PHP-generated data to javascript, so it was a good exercise.
Here’s a shot of it:

I find it much […]

I’ve fixed the URL rewriting issue I was having. The problem was that the regular expressions used to determine the post data (either the post’s name or id based on the permalink structure) were not properly handling different base URLs. This was evidenced when I installed the plugin on a Wordpress install for […]

I’ve moved from developing the CMS plugin on my local computer, to deploying it on a server on the internet. I’ve already run into some issues, but at least it’s not totally broken Honestly, all in all, things seem to be looking pretty good.
The main issue right now? As usual, […]

Up until today, I had been happily using a customized .htaccess file to manage all my rewrite rules. I placed them above the Wordpress-generated rules to ensure that they took precedence over Wordpress’ default rules. Things worked perfectly this way (so far as I’ve tested), but I decided today that if I was […]
