Features

This plugin gives you the ability to check off items related to launching a site and provides feedback as to progress.

• Checklist items are created from two sources:
  • The /config/checklist_settings.php array.
  • Add new items to this array as needed. They will automatically get picked up and displayed.
  • Ensure for each item in the tasks array the name makes sense and is not duplicated as these are used in field output and corresponding data storage.
  • API call to a WCAG endpoint to obtain accessibility checklist items (these are combined with the accessibility section from the file above).
  • Results of the API call are cached via the WP Transients API for 30 days by default, but can be refreshed manually using the button on the settings page.
• There are currently two options pages:
  • Launch Checklist Page --/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wp_launch_checklist, broken down into groups by tabs.
  • Settings stored in wp_options under wp_launch_checklist_values.
  • Launch Checklist Settings Page -- /wp-admin/admin.php?page=wp_launch_checklist_settings.
  • Settings stored in wp_options under wp_launch_checklist_settings.

How to Use

• Visit the Plugin Checklist menu on the left side of the WordPress admin.
• Visit the Launch Checklist page to check off items as you complete them before site launch.
• Visit the Settings page above to control plugin settings.

Development/Contributions

• This plugin is based on the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate, but is decently modified.
• Plugin class loading by classmap. Run composer dump-autoload -o when adding and/or removing classes. See composer.json.
• The form fields output on each plugin page are loaded from /admin/partials/form-fields.
  • The main checklist page uses the checkbox-checklist-items.php partial.
  • The settings page uses the main checkbox.php partial for checkboxes due to a different layout.
  • A select field and a text field types are also present for use.
  • Add additional field types as needed.

Deployment

This plugin is maintained on Github but uses the Wordpress Plugin Deploy Action to push tags to the WordPress SVN plugin repository.

To do a release make sure you update the files readme.txt and wp-launch-checklist.php to have the next correct stable tag
