YD WordPress Plugins Framework
A simple WordPress Plugins object oriented development framework, as used by all recent YD plugins. Complies to latest WordPress widget and plugin options development practices. Needs PHP5.
It supports simple deployment of fully internationalized plugin option pages with settings, multi-widgets, shortcode functions, cached data, WP Cron enabled processes, customized CSS stylesheets, and much more. All this through modification of a single file including a set of options.
Creation of a new simple or complex plugin takes a few minutes when it used to take days, due to clever template code inheritance and default common functions and methods.
Re-used code simplifies deployment and maintenance and avoids common bugs. It also keeps memory usage to a minimum when implementing multiple plugins on the same codebase.

Hi and thank you for this plugin.
I’m new to WordPress and plugin development.
It would be great if the YD WordPress Plugins Framework had a few very basic tutorials for beginners how to use it.
Thanks

@Andy:
You’re right, but writing a tutorial takes time… I hope the community can help a bit for the documentation.
You have some comments inside the files. You only need to modify the main plugin file to create a plugin.
The best way to start is probably to look at how real-world plugins have been built with the framework: I advise you to download the following plugins and look at the code:
– YD Recent Images (example of a simple widget)
– YD FeedWordPress Content Filter (example of an option panel)
– YD Featured Block Widget (very simple widget)
– YD WordPress.com Stats Integration (WP cron)
…all those plugins use the framework.
A couple of other plugins using the framework will come out soon, and my other plugins will be converted to the framework one by one later on.

@mo: thanks for reporting the issue. I don’t know when the files were lost, but nobody reported it before. I re-submitted the code in the WP directory. Now it’s complete.
