WordPress Plugin developed to show how to create Plugins. Demoed during the NEO West WP Meetup.
- Custom Fields on the General Settings tab of the WordPress Admin to capture the user's Facebook and Twitter Profiles.
- Creates metabox custom fields on pages and posts to provide open graph data for Facebook shares.
- Creates function to add social sharing icons to bottom of post and page content for site vistitors to share the content.
Since this plugin repo was used for a demo at a meetup, I wanted something that the attendees could follow along with if they chose to. After seeing one of Roy Sivan's talks at WPCampus I decided to try and use his approach. Thus the repo is organized in the following way.
- Master Branch
- Contains the completed project (if you don't want to see the step-by-step progression of the project).
- Base Branch
- Contains the intial commit (during the demo this is where I started from)
- 1-admin
- Contains the code to create the two settings field on the general settings page of the WordPress Admin to capture the Facebook and Twitter profile names.
- 2-admin
- Contains the meta box with the custom fields for the Open Graph Meta Tags
