Piklist launched a week ago and the response has been overwhelming, so we figured a quick update is in order.

Improvements, Improvements and more Improvements.

This week we released four upgrades to the Piklist plugin. Some contained small bug fixes, and some focused on feature improvements (see below on v0.5.4). During this beta period we will try to push out as many updates as possible. Always adding new functionality or fixing existing. Let us know on our support forum if you run into a bug or want to see a new feature. We will always listen and strive to get back to you quickly.

Feedback, Feedback and more Feedback.

In both our support forums and in-boxes, we’ve been receiving lots of feedback and good ideas. Our goal to make Piklist a powerful rapid development framework for WordPress seems to be on the right track. Even beginners now have the power to create powerful metaboxes and fields, Settings Pages and Widgets.  Please keep the feedback coming… we crave it!

Even easier than before

Today we released version 0.5.4 of the plugin, which provides a new way for you to write a plugin and register it with Piklist. When you write a plugin today that relies on another plugin, you usually have to use a hook or filter to trigger it, with some plugins even recommending a “loader file” to do the necessary work. When v0.5.0 was released last week, even we used add_filter… well no more!

To register your plugin with Piklist, just add Plugin Type: Piklist to the file header of your plugin… that’s it.  Seriously, that’s it! Simple… elegant… and powerful. That’s Piklist.
