Admin Side Plug-ins

Out of need, I am taking zem’s admin side plug-in mod to the next level. I am hosting an already modded version of textpattern (1.0rc2 rev61). This will spare others from having to actually apply the mod themselves.

I also created the ReBlog plug-in that uses this mod. This plug-in can serve as an example of how to write a plug-in for the admin interface.

I want it

Manfre,

I have an updated version of the patch that includes some minor improvements. Will send it to you shortly.

Re: Admin Side Plug-ins

I look forward to the improved version. I’ve been poking around, trying to get a broader view of what abilities would need to be granted to plug-ins. Two of the big ones are shifting the load_plugins call down so that is just above the pre callback_event(). This would allow the plug-in to know more in the global scope, like language and have access to $textarray. This isn’t necessary, but a work around of having an init method in the plugin that is called with the event would serve a similar purpose.

The other thing that might be useful is the ability to have a plug-in prevent the loading of the built in pages, by signalling that it has handled the request and no other plug-ins should be called. I things would be more modular and customizable if some one could load up a new plug-in that replaces the “logs” tab with one that shows a different view of things.

My site was down for a large portion of today due to password problems. It’s back online now.

Note to self. Remember to strip config.php settings from published files. :)

What can I say? We all are prone to doing the dumbest things.
