I think I’ve finally finished getting all of my themes…

I think I’ve finally finished getting all of my themes and plugins straightened out on my site. It turns out Trac isn’t very user friendly when it comes to getting people to download. I ended up using a downloads plugin to help manage the downloads through wordpress itself. At least this way I don’t have to worry about having beta or bleeding edge updates on the main trunk where people would download them. One problem I’m having is svn is thinking apache is 301 redirecting my repos when I try to checkout, the easy fix was just checking out the /trunk and other directories after the URL, but what a pain, I’ll figure it out later.

Wordpress Development

After finally setting up Trac and SVN on my new server I’ve moved all my projects off Google Code hosting. But instead of checking in all of the code to the new repositories I updated all of the theme and plugin pages. So the problem, you’ll not be able to download anything until tonight when I get around to updating the repositories. Unless you just want to head over to GCode (link above) where all the latest versions are, plugins don’t count.

Currently I’m planning to keep all of my plugins on extend but if it’s a major plugin like Search Everything I’m making a trac project to make it easier to manage. I’ll be able to do betas there too. Linking plugins to wordpress.org’s extend is almost a requirement now if you want any kind of good exposure or you want to be involved with automatic plugin updates whenever wordpress roles that feature out.

_-iscattered-wordpress-theme-trac.jpgAll of my themes will have it’s very own trac project, e.g. iScattered. I had thought Google Code was going to work best but after all the work of getting trac and svn installed and thinking about manageability of two project homes I deleted had to break off of GC.

This whole week I wanted to post about each theme; describing what changed or didn’t change, a showcase almost while updating their project homes and pages at the same time but it didn’t work out since I had to migrate servers Tuesday. I’m going to push it off, hopefully next week will work out but either way the code will be up soon and if you can’t wait just go here.
