WordPress Tools

Let our tools work for you! We’ve developed the following
for our own use and make them available here so that other
developers can benefit from them as well.

WordPress TextMate Bundle

The WordPress TextMate Bundle is, well, a TextMate bundle built with the sole purpose of reducing the amount of times we have to dig around the WordPress core to look up the little things that we work with every day. The Bundle features auto-completion of WordPress functions, snippets for common sections of code, and templates for WordPress components. We even snuck in function completion for Carrington template framework functions.

BBEdit WordPress Clippings

This is a Clipping bundle for BBEdit 9+ to help make working with WordPress (hopefully) a lot easier. These clippings will be maintained for the current version of WordPress. No conscious effort will be maintained to provide backward compatibility. This bundle has been featured in the BBEdit clippings library.

WordPress Compatibility Functions

Provided as a plugin for developers with some uncommon-yet-useful checks for compatibility. Includes all sorts of functions from the ability to sort an array by a key within the array_items, a safe JSON encode check, return a page ID by slug name, the ability to return a formatted phone number, and much more.

WordPress Installer Script

Created with developers in mind, this shell script will walk you through a checkout of multiple versions of WordPress from the Automattic SVN code repository. From there it will set up the requisite wp-config.php file and database structure. This makes it easy to create a series of installs for testing purposes and is perfect for local development and testing.
