Is Your Plugin Naughty or Nice?

I was given the opportunity to contribute a post to the official WordPress Development blog. The topic was preparing plugins for WordPress 2.1 which will be out soon. It’s nice to see my post in every WordPress dashboard.

If you have a plugin, it’s time to make sure it works with 2.1. Go read some of the tips I’ve given and feel free to add your own if you have any.

Pick up your copy of the WordPress Bible, a wildly popular resource for beginners and experts alike.

    Of course it works with 2.1. It worked with 2.1 before 2.0 was even released! :)

    Aaron,

    You left a comment on my blog saying that $tabl_prefix has been eliminated, not just depreaciated. I responded there, but I’m not sure if you’re planning on checking back, so I’m responding here, too.

    According to the article:

    [...] the former $table_prefix variable that developers could globalize before to find the MySQL table prefix defined in wp-config.php has also been deprecated in favor of $wpdb->prefix.

    I have tested my plugin in 2.1alpha3 and it did still work. In the current trunk $table_prefix is still defined. Are you saying that it will be removed before 2.1 final comes out?

    Hmmm. I seem to remember the conversation on the hackers list where this was discussed and

    1
    $table_prefix

    was eliminated. I’d have to actually test so I’ll try to get back to you later today.
