Scott Kingsley Clark So many of our users enjoy the awesomeness that is Gravity Forms! It’s been in the works for a while now but I’ve finally got some traction on this. I’d like to take a moment and get everyone’s input on what they’d like to see this new Add-on do, how it would work, etc.
Hey gang! Well it’s meeting time again! This would be part 1 of 2, which would discuss our final approach for 2.0 – where part 2 would discuss the pre-release / beta testing results. Date: Thursday, December 16th, 2010 Time: 9PM EST (8PM CST) Meeting moved to 9PM EST
This script will eventually find it’s way into the PodAPI importing functions, but right now here’s what I’ve got so far. It does quite a bit out of the gate – enjoy! It imports items from another MySQL table (does multiple at a time actually) into your Pods. So basically, a migration script for those …
Had a discussion with @jchristopher today – we both feel it’s a good idea to split up Pods admining from the management of content. As such, here is the proposed new Menu IA: Pods (located below Posts / Pages, in the ‘object’ menu section) – Manage Content – Add pod_name (one for each Pod) Pods …
I’m currently working on the codebase for Pods UI and integrating it with my latest Admin UI class. You can watch progress at http://code.google.com/p/wp-pods/source/browse/branches/2.0/classes/PodUI.php Right now, this is the first version of PodUI for Pods 2.0. It needs a lot of clean up and fixing on pods_ui_manage and adding Pods-specific functionality.
What does Pods stand for? Well, it’s the plural of Pod. And what does Pod stand for? We should probably decide something totally awesome. If you’re wondering the back story, the letters themselves don’t stand for anything, but the name came from the logo in a way related to the Pea Pod, in which each …
Already thinking about Pods 2.1! So a new feature I’d like to work on is a Caching in Templates, Helpers, and Pod Pages – so that output will be pulled from cache until it’s expired – meaning less PHP processing and hitting the DB, plus certain things that don’t need to be updated often can …

Mike created a new plugin that adds a multi-instance Pods widget for use in sidebars. It appears it functions mostly like the existing Pods shortcode (using fields to change each of those values) – but is there anything else this Widget could do beyond what the shortcode does? The current plan is to snag that …
Thought came up through Bjornet’s recent question – attaching comments to file uploads / images. Right now, we store the relationship itself and the order — but not meta data. It would be useful in Pods 2.0 to at least build in functionality to the DB table itself for this so people can extend infinitely …
