In lieu of my previously written article, I have created a plugin to make the process easier.
I am waiting on approval from wordpress.org for publication of the plugin.
The approval process is standard:
It’s pretty simple
- Sign up.
- Within some vaguely defined amount of time, some one will approve your request.
- You’ll then have access to a Subversion Repository where you’ll store your plugin.
- Once you put your plugin (and a readme file!) in that repository, it will shortly be automatically entered into the plugins browser.
- Check out the FAQ for more information.
Until step 2 is complete: it shall be hosted on GitHub.
UPDATE: It’s now available!
I’ll probably keep both repositories maintained as I prefer GitHub but do not feel that this plugin warrants integration with GitHub auto-updating. So it will be in Subversion and GIT for with regards to the convenience of users and developers alike.
