ECI Version 6.2.3 Beta
This version and 6.2.4 will have changes that require a lot of testing. In otherwords, I will need to leave them as the most recent version until I’m sure most users are happy with the changes.
- Categories: The function that creates categories has been re-written. It will behave different. This should not cause anyone any problems but I want to make sure. The changes allow the plugin to create duplicate category names but under different parents. Something that is commonly required.
- WordPress SEO by Yoast: you can now configure the meta values for this plugin, more will come later after testing of this version
- Server Performance: timers have been added to the main loops for large events such as post creation, updating or data importing. A variable has been added to calculate the maximum time a loop should run, in the attempt to prevent people pushing their server too far. The maximum time will be your servers maximum execution time minus five seconds. The 5 seconds are for processing before and after the loop. Five seconds is more than enough time to ensure that users do not keep hitting the maximum execution time. When the limit is reach, the loop will be broken properly and your project can continue by running another event.
The next version will hopefully have a finished Taxonomy panel. I only just discovered the function that I needed and had been stopped by not finding it. It is get_registered_taxonomies, something a Google search never brought up. So I’ll use this to check for all the taxonomies registered per post type then the user can assign columns of data to each taxonomy they want to populate.
Sound good?
Please let me know any specific abilities you need on the Taxonomy panel form.
