Description

fishdan Jsonmaker lets administrators curate a nested tree of links directly on the front end. Drop the [jsonmaker] shortcode onto a page, expand nodes to add children, rename or remove items inline, and fetch any branch at /json/.json.

Highlights

  • Inline “Add”, “Edit”, and “Delete” controls for administrators (capability jsonmaker_manage).
  • Clean JSON endpoint for each node (/json/.json).
  • Store either URLs or plain text values; an empty value keeps a node as a container.
  • All data persists in a single WordPress option—no custom tables.

Installation

  1. Upload the fishdan-jsonmaker folder to wp-content/plugins/, or install the ZIP via Plugins Add New Upload Plugin.
  2. Activate fishdan Jsonmaker in Plugins Installed Plugins.
  3. Add the [jsonmaker] shortcode to a page.
  4. (Optional) Visit Settings Permalinks and click Save to refresh rewrite rules if /json/<slug>.json returns 404.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can edit the tree?

Administrators receive the jsonmaker_manage capability on activation. Grant it to other roles as needed.

How do I fetch JSON for a node?

Hit /json/<node-slug>.json. The slug appears in the add/edit form IDs (e.g., jsonmaker-form-slug).

Why do titles have to be unique?

Each node’s slug is derived from its title. Enforcing unique titles guarantees stable JSON endpoints.

Changelog

0.2.8

  • Removed the optional extension ID text field from the toolbar import UX now that the browser postMessage flow handles extension discovery automatically.
  • Relaxed import validation to allow repeating node titles (unique slugs are still generated) so toolbar exports with duplicate titles no longer fail.

0.2.7

  • Added “Import current toolbar” button that can pull JSON directly from the Subscribed Toolbar extension.
  • Optional extension ID field plus visible error feedback when the extension isn’t reachable.
  • Successful extension imports now auto-select “Replace entire tree” to overwrite the current tree.

0.2.6

  • Adjusted Freemius configuration to use the wp.org-compliant free SDK settings and bumped the plugin version for release.

0.2.5

  • Reworked the admin screen with a dedicated license card that shows active plan details, remaining term, and a “Buy Jsonmaker Basic” button, plus an AJAX license-entry form.
  • Added toolbar auto-insertion for “Host Your Own Toolbar” and “Edit your toolbar source” links inside an About folder for every change, ensuring free toolbars promote the upgrade path.
  • Refined the tree editor UI with compact +/- toggles, cookie-persisted open/closed state, and collapsible action forms that never overlap.

0.2.4

  • Added a prominent login call-to-action so returning users can access their trees without hunting for the WordPress screen.
  • Ensured successful registrations redirect back to the [jsonmaker] page instead of dropping users on the default dashboard.

0.2.3

  • Enabled Freemius org-compliance mode, renamed helper APIs, and documented the change.
  • Added nonce enforcement helpers, centralized input sanitization, and escaped shortcode output to satisfy Plugin Check.
  • Bundled Bootstrap assets locally to comply with wp.org’s CDN restrictions.

0.2.2.1

  • Bulk import now accepts copies of the “Current JSON” output (e.g., { "username": { ... } }) and unwraps the username wrapper automatically.

0.2.2

  • Introduced per-user JSON trees with personalised /json/<username>/<node>.json endpoints and a dedicated JSON role plus registration flow.
  • Refreshed the shortcode UI with Bootstrap styling, actionable onboarding guidance, and centred collapsible toggles.
  • Seed new accounts with a “Popular” starter library and ensured sample endpoints are linked for quick testing.

0.2.1

  • Addressed WordPress Plugin Check feedback by adding translators comments, tightening escaping, and removing debug logging for a compliance-focused release.

0.2.0

  • Renamed the plugin to fishdan Jsonmaker and aligned the text domain, Freemius slug, and packaging directory with the new branding.

0.1.7

  • Wrapped bulk import, JSON preview, and the editing tree in collapsible sections with remembered state per user.
  • Added “View Node” shortcut links beside each node’s actions for quick JSON inspection.
  • Defaulted management panels to start closed for new visitors while keeping the editor open.
  • Refined Freemius admin fallbacks and section styling for a more consistent dashboard experience.

0.1.6

  • Added a published JSON schema and linked helper text for quick validation.
  • Introduced bulk import with append/replace modes, optional append targeting, and duplicate-title safeguards.
  • Added slug normalization for JSON endpoint requests so mixed-case and spaced URLs resolve correctly.
  • Hardened Freemius admin bootstrapping by pre-populating the screen title and falling back to the bundled icon.

0.1.5

  • Added uninstall cleanup for the stored tree and custom capability, plus deactivation rewrite flushing.
  • Registered inline assets with explicit versions and localized delete warnings.
  • Declared metadata updates for WordPress.org compliance, including current tested version.
  • Bundled the Freemius SDK for future distribution and telemetry tooling.

0.1.4

  • Added canonical redirect bypass and ensured CORS headers are sent during redirects for the JSON endpoint.

0.1.3

  • Updated plugin metadata to credit Daniel Fishman.

0.1.2

  • Added CORS headers and OPTIONS handling for the JSON endpoint to support browser extensions.

0.1.1

  • Addressed WordPress Plugin Check feedback and improved inline asset handling.
