WordPress CodeSniffer Standard

April 22, 2009

CodeSniffer is a PEAR package that checks PHP code for violations of coding standards. According to the developers:

It is an essential development tool that ensures your code remains clean and consistent. It can also help prevent some common semantic errors made by developers.

While it won't make you bug-free, it is another tool to help you produce better quality code, and is very useful when working with a team of developers. CodeSniffer thoughtfully comes with several standards to verify code against the PEAR, Zend, and Squiz coding standards. What follows is a CodeSniffer standard that adheres to the WordPress Coding Standard. Hurray for coding violations!

    HTML Purified - WordPress & bbPress

    April 18, 2009

    I've just released an update to HTML Purified, a plugin that replaces the standard WordPress KSES filters with the much more powerful HTML Purifier library. This release tidies up a few rough edges and is jointly compatible with both WordPress and bbPress.

    That's right, the same plugin will work with both systems and allows you to fully protect yourself from any malignant comments that may be directed at your site. It should also ensure that your comments are valid XHTML.

    Note that bbPress functionality is experimental. It works on the support forum here, running bbPress 1.0 alpha 6. Your mileage may of course vary.

    WordPress SEO Plugin Comparison

    March 22, 2009

    I realised that I've added a lot of functionality to HeadSpace without actually making any kind of announcement about it. To make up for this this I decided to produce a comparison chart showing HeadSpace in relation to other popular SEO orientated plugins. This is not a chance to poke competitors in the eye but just an erstwhile attempt for me to show exactly what HeadSpace can do and how it stacks up to other plugins. It's also a good excuse to make sure I can tick as many boxes as possible - HeadSpace is now in its fourth year and although development is still going strong, it is easy to get stuck in your own world and not see what is happening outside.

    Localization Thanks

    March 9, 2009

    I try and make a point of localizing all software I produce so that it can be used by as many different people as possible. Last year I wrote some articles (Translating WordPress Plugins and Localizing WordPress Plugins) detailing how to localize a plugin and theme from both a developers and translators point of view. Since then my plugins have been receiving a steady stream of translations and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who's not only helped produce translation but also pointed out areas of my code that were not yet localized.

    Querious

    March 8, 2009

    A few days after I wrote about Sequel Pro, a link from Daring Fireball leads me to Querious, a commercial OS X based MySQL management tool. At a glance it seems to offer everything that Sequel Pro has, along with the ability to manage users and permissions.

    Hot on the heals of this The Apple Blog has a Sequel Pro vs. Querious showdown. The conclusion is similar, and the comments make for interesting reading with links to further tools.
