Description
oik-zip.php packages the source files for a WordPress plugin into a .zip file ready for release to the general public.
The packaging process ensures up to date versions are released
- update the root plugin file
- update the plugin's readme.txt
- checks that banner and icon files are in the assets
- build a new version of the README.md file for GitHub
- update language files, if applicable
- reconcile shared library files
- update the "oik-activation" logic
What it does not do:
- Create minimised versions of .css and .js files
- run Unit Tests
- perform translation
- update the API reference
Installation
- Upload the contents of the oik-zip plugin to the `/wp-content/plugins/oik-zip' directory
- Create a batch file called zip.bat to invoke the oik-zip routine, through oik-wp.php from oik-batch
php c:\apache\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\oik-batch\oik-wp.php c:\apache\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\oik-zip\oik-zip.php %*
Frequently Asked Questions
How does it work?
Read the code
What are the dependencies?
- 7-ZIP
- an editor
- t2m - convert a readme.txt file to README.md ( https://github.com/bobbingwide/txt2md )
- oik-batch ( https://github.com/bobbingwide/oik-batch )
Does it use Composer?
No. But it may be enabled for use with Composer
Why not WP-CLI?
Now that I need most of WordPress to do all the things I'm working towards using WP-CLI primarily to handle command line parameters.
Is it integrated with Git?
It will be, when I've made more progress with the oik-git shared library.
Is it integrated with SVN?
No. Updating the SVN version is currently a manual process performed after creating the .zip and updating GitHub.
