In a recent post, I talked about a web application that would create a custom WordPress options page with custom settings that developers and designers could use to quickly give their end clients options for any custom development. I've been working on it a little bit each day, and finally have a proof-of-concept.
Right now, the utility will take in a page title and slug, and then any number of settings you want to define. Right now, it only supports text settings, so on/off switches and dropdowns aren't supported. Once you have everything configured, it packages up the plugin into a zip file for download. Then the user just needs to extract and upload to their wp-content/plugins directory.
I'd like to add support for different datatypes, and I still need to style the interface of the application, but functionally it's deployable. In reading Getting Real, I'm thinking I should deploy it without the additional features and then add them in after. But then I'll likely need to touch the styling twice, so now I'm not sure.
Any suggestions?
One thing is for sure, it's not getting released without some level of styling. It literally has no CSS. Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
