Re: ied_plugin_composer - new plugins never came that easy

After raising the version number of a plugin the h1.txp-heading remains that one of the old version.

Yeah, I didn’t think the Save Metadata feature through enough before implementing it, sorry. Thinking of removing it so you’ll only be able to change meta data by doing a full save, which will of course refresh the page and show you the latest info.

Either that or I need to implement some ‘partial’ logic – like we do on the Write panel in core so that info on the page is updated automatically when using AJAX saves. That’s a lot more work so I’m not sure yet.

Re: ied_plugin_composer - new plugins never came that easy

This is weird.

I installed ied_plugin_composer on 4.8.something and it would only show French.

I upgraded to 4.9-dev – still in French.

What am I missing?

Re: ied_plugin_composer - new plugins never came that easy

Probably nothing you’re missing. The Textpack isn’t designated with a language identifier so it’ll pick whatever it finds first. If you add:

#@language en, en-gb, en-us

above the English strings and reinstall it’ll target the correct language.

Unfortunately though, the plugin has no concept of the textpattern/plugins directory so it won’t work particularly well on 4.7+. I only use it currently for exporting the odd legacy plugin. I tend to drag and drop the plugin .php file from the file system onto the browser in the Admin>Plugins panel during development as it’s faster than doing it in ied_plugin_composer.

Not sure of the plugin’s future really. I did start taking it in various directions and building other features, but didn’t get very far. If there’s a need for it still, I could look at completing that work and bringing it up to date for recent Textpattern versions.
