I guess I don’t have the right email address, you can see the GitHub repo at:

My email is dave AT davemackey DOT net

I received permission, have posted code on GitHub and shot you an email with the link, etc.

Hi Justin

I’d loved to collaborate with you on the sermon manager plugin!

Give me a day or two, I need to go through proper channels with my employer (the church) before posting the code I have thus far on GitHub.

Then maybe we could brainstorm what features we’d like to see it have? I’ll hopefully get permission to release my research thus far – I’ve compared all the existing sermon managers and made a list of their desirable features, etc.

Dave

Weird. Error is:

P_Error Object ( [errors] => Array ( [invalid_taxonomy] => Array ( [0] => Invalid taxonomy ) ) [error_data] => Array ( ) )

But I definitely register a custom taxonomy named speakers and have two records in it.

Thanks Justin. I actually did research all the existing WP sermon manager plugins and for various reasons decided against continuing work on an existing plugin.

There is one called church-theme-content I decided against because it was bundled with other functionality (events, people, locations) and I wanted something purely focused on sermon management.

Another one used very old techniques such as direct SQL queries and seemed generally to have been written with WordPress 2.x standards in mind.

I can’t remember the exact reasons I decided against working on WP for Church, but that was one I looked at and for some reason decided against.

I am referring to the code in those three plugins as I work on this one to help me develop the functionality. ??

Thanks!

I’ve taken a much more conservative approach, just finished adding the add_upload_file_text optional value to file.

I’ve updated the wiki field types page to reflect this option.

Uggg. One of those times when I come back and look at it with fresh eyes and find the issue within a few minutes…and it was a stupid one.

All the way at the bottom you see I have

$cmb_lqd_church_resources_group->add_group_field( $group_field_id, array(
        	      'name'        => __( 'Resource Name', 'church_resources' ),
        	      'id'          => 'resource_name',
        	      'type'        => 'text,'
        	  ) );

Not that the comma is inside the quotes for type => ‘text’. Moved the comma and it worked fine.

Yeah, that was what I was a little concerned about. Glad I checked…I’ll revert those changes and see if I can selectively find type parameters that make more sense to add.

Dave

Cool. I just did the text type. Can you let me know if that looks good? If so, I’ll keep going.

Great! Thanks! Is there somewhere I should be looking for what is in options? I had checked the wiki Field Types page but didn’t see it as a parameter there.

Thanks Michael and Justin, this is very helpful!

Thanks Justin and Michael, this is very helpful! I’m up and running!

Thanks!
