Default Introducing the FinalGear.com Site Management Script!

OMFG, for once I wasn't lazy! Actually, I made this so that I could be more lazy in the future, but still... images/smilies/lol.gif

Anyway, until Monday of this week (yesterday), the only way to add, edit, etc. the episodes listed on the site was for me (and only me) to go into phpMyAdmin, a generic and raw interface for the MySQL tables.

Well, after a week or so's worth of work, I've completed a custom plugin for WordPress. As some of you may be aware, WordPress is what we use for the news on the site. Well, now I and a couple other people can manage the site too from that same interface. I even added and then edited this week's Fifth Gear using it! images/smilies/smile.gif

The result of this is that if I'm ever MIA, the site won't screech to a halt as other people can continue to manage it (add episodes, edit them, etc.).

Now, for the screenshots of my baby:

Yay! images/smilies/biggrin.gif

The plugin was written completely from scratch (but having it use WordPress rather than being a standalone did save me quite a bit of time as it handled, users, querying the db, etc.). images/smilies/smile.gif
