Awesome Textpattern: a Curated List of Textpattern Plugins & Resources

monkeyninja · 2015-03-30 19:32:00

I’ve just released a little project I’ve been putting together for the Textpattern community: Awesome Textpattern. It’s a curated list of Textpattern plugins and resources hosted on GitHub.

I’ve written a full explanation as to what it is on my blog, but essentially the idea is for it to be a community driven resource for stable plugins and relevant resources to the latest version of Textpattern. If you work with Textpattern please take a look and start contributing to the list by making pull requests. I hope we can all build this into an invaluable resource.

Great idea Andy, I’ll contribute some bits to it.

Thanks Phil, I thought it might be a good idea.

Thanks for offering to contribute. My hope is that this becomes a really community-driven resource, so the more the merrier.

Very good idea. Pull-requesting :)

Thanks for doing this. Immensely useful to have a curated list.

Thanks for the positive feedback. I’ve already received several pull requests from people (including juanjonavarro). It’s good to see the community working together to build this up. Hopefully this will continue (and perhaps pick up some momentum).

Would be nice to see more plugins on github, so one can fork and develope it further, when the original author has lost his interest.

You need this one in there: forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=36629

Though I’m partial to the original (simpler) pub_default_draft because it does one thing well and requires no extra preferences. (I’m a ‘fewer preference controls is better’ kind of believer.)

With a new version of Textpattern out the Awesome Textpattern list needs updating. If you come across any plugins that are no longer stable in the latest release could people help by making a pull request or raising an issue on the list so that it can be brought up to date?

Also, please feel free to contribute plugins that are missing.

Those are obsolete now, of course. Or at least the pub_default_draft is.

so thankful for this! The other repository is a mess with some real confusion as to what works, is up to date, or if they are still active. It should be DELETED in my opinion.

Wish it were different, please don’t delete it though, I could organize it lickety split, or at least identify what plugins have active links and work with the latest stable release.

hundreds would be grateful!
Apologies about the harsh recommendation but i find that site very annoying.

Thanks. It’s great to know that people are finding it useful. Please feel free to contribute to it if you’ve got anything you want to add or correct. It’s there for the community to curate together.

I completely agree that the Plugins website is a mess which was one of the main motivations behind my list (although I believe the two can work side-by-side). It seems like people have been saying that the plugins site is going to get sorted for years now and nothing appears to happen. I’m sure it hasn’t changed since it was started other than many of the plugins having become dead. I’ve lost the motivation to update my own plugins on there as a result.

I wish more plugin developers would host their plugins on sites like Github rather than their own domains as it makes accessing older versions of plugins easier and they are less like to vanish when the developer decides to no longer support Textpattern.
