SVG Plugin is now on wordpress.org

Last night I threw together a plugin really fast for easy use of SVG files on sites.

I applied to make it a plugin on wordpress.org and it just got approved.
I’ve uploaded it to the repository and did a quick test and found a bug. Now it’s at v1.1 and that bug is fixed and it should work without issues.

Users are now about to install this from the WordPress plugin directory and give it a go.

I created a landing page for the plugin if you want more information.
Developers, if you’d like to contribute I recommend cloning the GitHub repository and submitting your changes there.

Scalable Vector Graphics Plugin

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

  1. Sign up.
  2. Within some vaguely defined amount of time, some one will approve your request.
  3. You’ll then have access to a Subversion Repository where you’ll store your plugin.
  4. Once you put your plugin (and a readme file!) in that repository, it will shortly be automatically entered into the plugins browser.
  5. 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.

UPDATE: I have since re-written the code for this in my plugin – to view the latest method – look here: http://sterlinghamilton.com/scalable-vector-graphics-plugin/

What the deuce is SVG?

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a family of specifications of an XML-based file format for describing two-dimensional vector graphics, both static and dynamic (i.e. interactive or animated).

The SVG specification is an open standard that has been under development by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) since 1999.

Basically, it means you can have an image that looks really crisp and clear, and it can become really small or really large without losing quality.
