WPGlobus multilingual plugin (Checking Facebook post embedding....)


WPGlobus will work with any WordPress theme. Some configuration is required to translate the theme options.
Posted by WPGlobus on Monday, September 28, 2015

Notes:

1. Do not need this:
<div id="fb-root"></div>
Facebook perfectly works without, and having multiple DIVs with the same id is wrong. So, just remove.

2. To see what's embedded, must not be logged to FB as a page, only as a person.

3. Do not expect any links from it. It's JS, iframe, etc. Link in the post: www.wpglobus.com - multilingual plugin for WordPress

Making a WordPress.org plugin: SVN, GitHub, PHPUnit and Travis-CI [Part 1]

This is my first experiment to publish an open-source code. It was quite a "challenge", after years of working exclusively for corporate clients and myself, to write something that can go to "the wild" :-))

WordPress version:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/tivwp-dm-development-manager/
GitHub version:
https://github.com/TIVWP/tivwp-dm

Here is a shortened list of what's involved in making a public plugin and publish it on WordPress.org site:
  • Write a bullet-proof PHP code (mission impossible, but approach as close as you can)
  • Organize the code in a special way: names of the files, folders, special headers, screenshots, readme.txt and so on.
  • Place your plugin somewhere so that WordPress staff can check it out and approve. (Hint: GitHub is a good place for that)
  • Apply here: http://wordpress.org/plugins/add/. Note: the name of your plugin will become it's "slug" in the URL, so choose carefully!
  • Wait for the approval, and if you never used SVN before, take this time to learn the basics.
  • SVN-Commit your code once approved.
  • Wait for reviews and support request.............. :-)
Notes:
  • Folders structure and readme.md on GitHub are not exactly the same as on WordPress.org
  • You can setup Travis-CI calling PHPUnit to test your code automatically. It's not an easy thing to setup - but highly recommended.
To Read:

I'll try to find time and write more details [Part 2,3,...] soon.
