![]() ![]() In this article, I’d like to make a list of all my plugins (the ones I still have or remember developing). Introductionīeing a full-stack developer and understanding how WordPress worked from the very beginning, I have never abused the functions.php file for custom functionality or features. Long before the explosion of form plugins, I coded several bespoke forms for front-end uploading. I remember one plugin was for a big company, and they requested a video upload form. This needed to be bespoke, as the uploaded data was on a secure server and there were several API keys involved. This ended up being a very nice and complex bespoke plugin. Years later, the site has evolved and my plugin is gone.Īnother plugin that started as a small project and an offshoot of the Traq project (a bug tracking system, similar to Redmine’s Trac) ended up as a plugin on CodeCanyon. ![]() The plugin, Roo Project Management, got a bit of traction until I pulled it down to merge it with a web directory plugin (as they shared the same code structure) and republish it on CodeCanyon as Roo Framework. Looking back I can see more bespoke plugins, such as a hotel management system, a CRM and a document manager. I used it for several clients and it worked perfectly for my needs. You can find an old version of GBCart on GitHub. Here’s a list of some of my old commercial plugins I’ve found, thanks to web.archive: Clicker CounterĪ basic statistics plugin. It evolved into a standalone PHP solution, then back into a WordPress plugin – Smashing Analytics – then into Active Analytics. None of the old code exists.Ĭomment Genius was a plugin which allowed the admins to aggressively market their site by presenting a lightbox with Facebook Like/Share, Twitter Tweet, Google AdSense Ads and more to their visitors upon leaving a comment. This plugin allowed text autocomplete on various search forms. This plugin still exists and it is being updated. This plugin has a very interesting history, which I’ll dive into below. WordPress Placeholder was a quick and simple function for inserting image placeholders in your design or code. Add the shortcode in your post or page (or straight into your template) and get a customized placeholder. Pretty easy.Ī modern UI (modern back then) mortgage calculator with email functions, multiple themes, results template and easy integration. It calculates standard mortgage payment, mortgage rate based on payment and term, and APR based on payment, term, and fees paid. I’ve reused this plugin with several real estate agents over time and I have improved it, but eventually it died. Mortgage calculators, and the entire financial niche actually, can get pretty spammy and it’s hard to market.Īnother great plugin with lots of downloads, Smart Backup was a complete WordPress backup plugin for database and file operations. You could create backups of your complete WordPress installation, files only, or database only. ![]() Backups could be restored using phpMyAdmin or various cPanel utilities. Backups could be sent via email as attachments. ![]()
