BNS Theme Add-Ins v0.2
Several updates and tweaks were made to this plugin based on recent readings and other ideas that came to mind. Here is the changelog for version 0.2:
* Released Oct 22, 2011
* Change $bns_textdomain to $bns_lower_case
* Remove `BNS Child-Theme TextDomain` and i18n (translation) support
* Add `BNS Plugin TextDomain` and i18n (translation) support specifically for ‘bns-theme-add-ins’
* Correct `textdomain` issues and re-work the `BNS Child-Theme TextDomain` into `BNS Plugin TextDomain`
* i18n improvements in ‘Readme Menu’ and ‘Changelog Menu’ as well as change CSS containers from `id` to `class`
* Change `BNS Child-Theme Version Control` to `BNS Theme Support`; added functionality to read and display a `support.txt` file similar to the `readme` and `changelog` menu items.
* Minor inline documentation edits
Also to note this entire update was done using a local installation (WampServer) as the primary test environment; the PhpStorm application as the primary IDE; and GitHub for version control.
I would have to say, doing the development across three PC’s was interesting but as I described my “new” workflow previously it was actually a lot easier to adapt to than I expected.
My next release will be the NoNa theme which is being developed under the same conditions; and with a few more tests it too should be ready for the public.
Enjoy!
Site Changes
I’ve been looking at the general layout of the site for the last little while thinking it needs some tidying up … and yes I see the irony in using the Desk Mess Mirrored theme and wanting to tidy things up. I will mostly be working on the theme related pages. The plan is to [...]
Plugin: BNS Theme Add-Ins
This was an interesting week for coding. I really hadn’t planned to write a new plugin and get it released into the WordPress Extend repository, it just sort of worked out that way. I started with the premise of putting into practice the ideas behind one of the core trac tickets I have submitted (#16395). [...]
Shades 1.7
When I started working on the update for Shades I was completely surprised by how long it had been since I actually released the last version … one (1) year, to the day!! Remarkable, and also very unusual. Although I must say, as I use a Child-Theme of Shades on my personal website, there really [...]
Ground Floor 1.8
The latest version of my Ground Floor theme for self-hosted WordPress installations went live in the Extend repository a couple of days ago. The “common” functions I use in my themes that were updated with the last version of Desk Mess Mirrored were also updated in this theme. Some minor code modifications were made to [...]
Keeping It Simple
I am a strong proponent of keeping things simple, especially with the Themes I develop and release to the WordPress Extend repository. One things that is common amongst all of my themes is the lack of an options page. I believe that any functionality that requires an options page either can be managed by a [...]
