Update: The plugin has been released and can be downloaded from this page
Here’s a quick update on the progress of the Trulia Wordpress Plugin i’m developing. Development is almost complete and I should have a release posted some time very soon.
Features of the plugin will include:
- Table creation in the Wordpress Database
- Image uploading
- Image resizing
- Database stored images
- Trulia compliant feed generation
- Post creation with the property details
- Feed Caching
I’ve been using this project to ease myself back into PHP coding, as I’ve been focusing on web design over server-side scripting for a good while now, so there will be a lot of room for improvement. Once it’s release anyone is welcome to add-to/modify/or enhance the code.
Update Oct 6th 2006 - The plugin is now finished but I want to test it properly to make sure everything works okay, I also need to install it for a client to use. The plugin will be posted for download at some point in the next few days.
Update Oct 10th 2006 - I was ready to go live with the plugin when I thought I’d test it with a non-root wordpress installtion without pretty permalinks and there’s a few problems that need fixing. I originally didn’t want there to be any configuration, but it seems i’m going to have to add an admin panel so you can specifiy the page that the Trulia Form is installed on. I need this info as I use $_GET variables to pass data at some points in the plugin and I was parsing out the vars sometimes to get the URL of the plugin page (which won’t work if pretty permalinks aren’t being used). I’ll fix this and release the plugin by the weekend.
