ArtPress Development is Now Public

I’ve taken a break from this plugin for quite a while now and now it’s time to revisit it and, for lack of a better way to express it, get ‘er done. This is one of my first steps into custom post_types in WordPress 3.0 and there’s definitely some wonky stuff going on inside.

The code is available on GitHub. Would love to hear anyone’s thoughts on anything regarding it. It’s not exactly stable so I would not suggest using it on production sites as of yet, but it’s totally possible. There is so much that needs to be done, but I feel like I finally have a plan which starts with:

Delete almost everything!

I’ll be stripping away a lot of the half-baked functionality currently included within the plugin. Hopefully simplification will help me to actually finish it.

Here’s a short screencast highlighting some of the functionality:

    That’s pretty bad ass. I was helping a friend build a custom gallery in her theme using post images and custom content types, but your solution is definitely more out of the box, with it’s built-in ecommerce options. Definitely worth playing with.

    Hi Michael,

    the code is not available on GitHub any more!
    is it available somewhere else?

    thanks a lot!!!

    I recently pulled it … the code is really old and untested with newer versions of WordPress. There’s also a heap of security issues. I felt that the most responsible thing to do was delete it. Sorry for the inconvenience.
