My co-worker and friend Sal Ferrarello was telling us in one of our weekly scrums that he uses a draft category to post stuff that might not be quite ready for prime time. This gets the content out faster and its searchable but he added some code to display a disclaimer on those posts to warn people. Here is an example of one posted up here on Chrispian.com.
I’ve been wanting to explore more OOP work in regards to WordPress and I also wanted to play around with the Options / Settings API to create an options page. So I took Sal’s idea and whipped up a quick plugin to explore these concepts. This is a first version and if you have any suggestions / feedback I’d love to hear it.
One bug I know of right off is a deprecated warning about calling a static method. I can already see areas to improve this and that’s the whole point. Here’s the link to the repo. I’ll probably put this one up on .org once it’s been tweaked a bit more.
