Needed improvements for Content Staging plugin

  • To the developers:

    This is an excellent plugin and I would like to eventually donate to the plugin, but I need to see some improvements of how this would work:

    1. Batches on staging should not disappear after deployment
    2. Ability to assign users rights to deploy certain content
    3. Categories between staging and production are not perfectly synced.

    I see on GitHub that it can be extended, but there is no explanation of how to use each hook.

    Please see the reviews page for more details on the functionality that I am looking for.

    Thanks for the feedback, really helpful!

    We have released a new version that addresses the category sync issue and also includes some other improvements we’ve been working on.

    I will keep you posted on any further progress on the other issues that you’ve pointed out.

    Thanks, stenberg. Perfect. I will download the new version.

    The most important items are the first two. I am actually making a presentation next Tuesday and could use the content staging plugin in my presentation and would like to donate to it.

    Stenberg,

    Would it be possible to add to the improvement where the deployments do not disappear after deployment. Is that one line in the plugin code that can be removed?

    Hi Bruce,

    It is now possible to keep batches even after they have been deployed. Just add the following to your code (e.g. to functions.php):

    add_filter( 'sme_batch_list_statuses', function( $statuses ) {
	$statuses[] = 'draft';
	return $statuses;
});

    A new view has also been created that shows historic batches deployed to production. This History view can be found as a submenu item to Content Staging.

    I really hope you will enjoy Content Staging version 1.2.1

    WordPress Content Staging version 1.2.2

    With regards to keeping the batches visible, it would be cool, if in History the deployment could be repeated.

    thx
