Framework release blog post: Pure Web Brilliant’s plugin framework released

” I want to go on record thanking my colleagues and many of our current & past clients, who were (mostly) happy to negotiate changes in the licence of our past work so that we could make it open source. “

• Package: Pure Web Brilliant

1. Upload kevinjohn_gallagher_____framework.php to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

This plug-in does not seem to do anything?

On it’s own, you are correct.
This plug-in houses commonly used framework and functionality for the other plug-ins & themes created in the Pure Web Brilliant WordPress offering. They cannot work without this plug-in.

There is a menu item, but it has no options

Correct.
It’s a high level menu wrapper for the other plug-ins. On it’s own, it won’t do anything, but that changes when you add additional plug-ins that work well together.

Where are these other plug-ins?

We’re releasing them to the WordPress repository at the quickest rate we can; but virtually all of our code was written for clients who required a non-GLPv2 compatible licence. There may be a small window where the framework is availible prior to the other plug-ins.

Can this framework be used by plug-ins by other authors?

Yes! We’d love that. This framework was built in response to our belief that in its rapid’s growth the WordPress’ lexington has muddied the water between functionality that should be in plug-ins versus those that should be in themes. We all duplicate so much code and functionality, and hopefully this will help others in the way it’s helped us.
