Seperate feed for OneClick! finally!

Published on June 29, 2007 .1 Comment

Hi, I noticed my RSS subscribership went up from 0 to around 80 over a couple of nights. So if you’re one of them, I’d suggest you add http://oneclick.tumblr.com to your feeds and remove this one(you are of course, welcome to keep the current feed itself).

This is mainly because this is my personal weblog and a lot of posts may be irrelevant (although interesting).

I’ll post feature additions, screenshots of development, betas, and the works and the final plugin with loads of new features will be released near the end of july.

FAQ for OneClick

Published on June 29, 2007 .0 Comments
  1. Isn’t this like pluginstaller, this plugin that allows installing more plugins?
    Ans: Yes, essentially it does the same thing, but pluginstaller does it by using shell commands, which are only for *nix based hosts. Also several hosts disable this because of security concerns. It also doesn’t install themes(though it’ll just take 10 mins to modify it to let it do so). There’s support for updating of plugins, but only if installed from wordpress.org. Deletion is not supported.
  2. What about Matt Read’s old installer plugin.
    Ans: Matt Read’s moved over to habari development (I was working on habari for a while and I moved back to wordpress), but his plugin is lost now, and I have to contact him to try the plugin out for myself and see what it can do.
  3. I can’t delete files from FTP that are created from the PHP due to sharing permissions or something.
    Ans: Delete anything and everything from the deletion system inside the plugin.
  4. When will the next version be out?
    Ans: After I’ve sorted some academics out, in other words, in about three or four weeks.

Feature Freeze for next OneClick release

Published on June 29, 2007 .4 Comments

Features that are finalized right now for the next release of OneClick:

  1. Installation from ZIP file URI (this was a no brainer)
  2. Integration with wp-plugins.net db. I cannot integrate with wordpress.org’s db because there’s no XML file. There are other plugin databases available but they’re not extensive enough, and I don’t have too much free time. When I say integration I mean, you see the name, description, author, version, and a cute “Install” button which means you don’t even have to leave your dashboard to install stuff.
  3. Integration with themes.wordpress.net. See screenshots and install any one you like from right within your dashboard.
  4. And finally, the coup ‘de grace: A firefox extension to go with it. That’s right. Like a theme or a plugin you’re too anxious to try out? Right click on the zip file URL and with one click…
