How to Write a Wordpress Plugin

, written by Ronald Huereca is an extensive, twelve

part series on the process of creating your own Wordpress plugin. Every step is covered,

from “

Seven Steps for Writing a Wordpress Plugin

” all the wa

y down to adding ajax to

your plugin and releasing it. This is an excellent article series for anyone interested in

the process behind creating your very first Wordpress plugin. With code examples to

help assist you, you will be on your way to future relea

ses of your own plugins for the

Wordpress community.

About the author:

Ronald is frequently found laying his thoughts out in strong, straight

forward articles on

various web related topics. He comes from a relatively strong technical and business

backgrou

nd, having an undergrad in Electrical Engineering Technology and a Master of

Science in Business Administration. A programmer by day, and web hobbyist (and

writer) by night, who also runs his own blog at

www.ronalfy.c

. Ronald has been on

the Devlounge team since the fall of 2006, and has contributed many wonderful articles,

including this very wordpress series. He also writes for Weblogtoolscollection.

Introduction

For any

WordPress

user, plugins are essential.

WordPress Plugins

allow those with little

to no programming skills to extend the functionality of their blog. Plugins come in all

shapes and sizes, and there is a p

lugin that does just about anything for WordPress.

As good as WordPress is as a standalone application, there are still things that

WordPress lacks. Users are requesting more and more features for WordPress that

would be very feasible to write as a plugin.

There are many untapped ideas out there,

and new ones created every day.

Having released three plugins already (not counting the custom ones I wrote), I am

aware of some of the limitations of WordPress and wish to share some of the lessons I

have learned

(and am still learning) about creating WordPress plugins. As a result, I will

be starting series that will discuss various topics regarding writing your own WordPress

plugin. The series will start off very introductory and will assume your plugin knowledge

is zilch.

Who is this Series For?

This series is for any WordPress user who is curious about or wants to learn how to

write their own WordPress plugin. Readers of this series will have an intermediate

knowledge of PHP, know a little JavaScript, and be d

ecent at Cascading Style Sheets.

This plugin series will benefit theme designers, those that like to tinker with plugin code,

and those that are interested in writing their own plugin from scratch.

Tools to Get the Job Done

To write plugins, any text editor will do. Here are the tools I personally use to create

plugins.

Dreamweaver

Firefox

Firebug Firefox Extension

Web Develo

per Firefox Extension

XAMPP

with a local

WordPress

installation

This series assumes you have WordPress 2.1.x or greater installed.

Code Samples

All code I

use will be available for download after each post in the

Conclusion

section. I

will be building the code as I go along, so each download will be different. I will be

creating a plugin that doesn’t really do anything other than to show you the basics of

w a plugin works.

Seven Reasons to Write a Wordpress Plugin

While writing the “How to Write a Plugin” series, I thought it would be beneficial to list

some reasons why WordPress users would want to write a

WordPress plugin

in the first

place.

Listed below are seven reasons why a WordPress user should consider writing a

WordPress plugin.

You like a plugin’s idea, but don’t like the plugin’s implementation

Whether discoveri

ng WordPress plugins on

Weblog Tools Collection

, the official

WordPress plugins directory

, or the

WordPress Plug

in Database

, you will inevitably find

a plugin that meets your needs

—

sort of.

You like the idea of the plugin, but not really the approach the plugin author took with it.

Why not run with the original idea and create your own separate version?

You want

to modify existing plugin code

Sometimes the plugin’s output needs to be tweaked a little bit or some functionality you

would like is missing. You can try convincing the plugin author to add your feature, but

plugin authors are usually quite busy or they

may not like your suggestion. It takes a lot

of effort by a plugin author to provide support and field feature and bug requests for a

plugin that is free. Sometimes the plugin is no longer supported by anyone.

In the event the plugin author is unable to y

our needs, it will be up to you to take the

initiative and modify the existing plugin code. If you do a good enough job and make

enough changes, you can re

release the plugin as long as the original plugin was

released under a

GPL compatible license

Usually one of the first things I do when I install or test a new plugin is to look at the code

and see what I can modify, what I can’t modify, and what I can possibly ad

d or take

away.

You want to extend a plugin

Sometimes a plugin is good as it is, but you would like to build upon it and release your

own version. For example, you may think a plugin would work better using AJAX, or

would like to add more hooks so that it

is compatible with other plugins. You may want to

add an admin panel so you don’t have to dig through the code to change the output.

As stated earlier, if a plugin is released as

GPL compatible

, you are free to release your

own version.

You want portable theme code

For those of us who opted to build a custom theme from scratch rather than download

one, you may find yourself re

using code snippets all over the place. W
