## Implementation Strategy
|
|
|
|
### Multisite Category with Network Plugin Auditor
|
|
- **Description**: Add a "Multisite" filter after Advanced and include network-plugin-auditor
|
|
- **Why it failed before**: Didn't properly update all required files for the feature
|
|
- **Implementation plan**: Add to free-plugins.php and update class-free-plugins-manager.php to display the category correctly
|
|
- **Testing criteria**: Verify category appears in UI and plugin can be installed
|
|
|
|
### Sync Guard
|
|
- **Description**: Prevent plugin loading during rsync operations to avoid partial file loading
|
|
- **Why it failed before**: Added to wrong location, dependent on missing files
|
|
- **Implementation plan**:
|
|
1. Create a simpler version of the sync guard
|
|
2. Update post-commit hook to handle sync operations better
|
|
3. Use file flag to signal when sync is in progress
|
|
- **Testing criteria**: Verify plugin doesn't attempt to load during sync operations
|
|
|
|
### Admin Colors Feature
|
|
- **Description**: Allow users to switch between default and modern admin color schemes
|
|
- **Why it's valuable**: Provides visual distinction and improves user experience
|
|
- **Implementation plan**:
|
|
1. Create class-wp-allstars-admin-colors.php
|
|
2. Add toggle in settings to switch color schemes
|
|
3. Register the feature in the main plugin file
|
|
- **Testing criteria**: Verify color scheme changes when toggled
|
|
|
|
### Basic Admin UI Enhancements
|
|
- **Description**: Improve the basic styling of admin interfaces
|
|
- **Why it's valuable**: Better user experience and modern look
|
|
- **Implementation plan**:
|
|
1. Create/update wp-allstars-admin.css
|
|
2. Implement basic styling for cards, panels, and buttons
|
|
3. Add responsive design improvements
|
|
- **Testing criteria**: Verify UI looks consistent across different screen sizes
|
|
|
|
### Advanced Admin UI Components
|
|
- **Description**: Add more sophisticated UI elements and interactions
|
|
- **Why it's valuable**: Enhanced usability and professional appearance
|
|
- **Implementation plan**:
|
|
1. Implement enhanced toggles and accordions
|
|
2. Add notification styling
|
|
3. Improve plugin cards and layouts
|
|
- **Testing criteria**: Verify all UI components work correctly across browsers
|
|
|
|
### Access Manager Improvements
|
|
- **Description**: Enhance user role and permission management
|
|
- **Why it's valuable**: More granular control over plugin features
|
|
- **Implementation plan**:
|
|
1. Update class-access-manager.php
|
|
2. Add role checkboxes in UI
|
|
3. Implement proper access restriction handling
|
|
- **Testing criteria**: Verify correct permissions are applied based on user roles
|
|
|
|
## Development Order
|
|
|
|
The suggested implementation order is:
|
|
|
|
1. Admin Colors Feature (low complexity, enhances UI)
|
|
2. Basic Admin UI Enhancements (foundation for other UI improvements)
|
|
3. Advanced Admin UI Components (builds on basic UI)
|
|
4. Access Manager Improvements (depends on UI components)
|
|
5. Plugin Dashboard improvements
|
|
6. New Category Pages
|
|
|
|
Each feature should be developed in its own branch and only merged after thorough testing. |
