Hi,
I’ve written a fairly complex routine to decompile sites built with Visual Composer. Using Add-Mores, Conditionals etc I’ve built a Piklist interface for users to add settings that let them extract part of VC layouts into meta values etc.

In Piklist, it’s set up as a Settings Page, under the Tools menu. It works, but I’ve run up against several limitations on the way my code executes.
– The code that takes the entered settings and works with them to do the tool’s work is all hanging of a single Piklist hook, piklist_pre_update_option
– the code execution happens in a single page load, rather than, for instance, an ajax progress interface
– I can’t see how to offer more verbose feedback, beyond ‘Settings saved’

I think that Piklist is still a great tool for the creation of the tool’s interface, but it I’m stuck, in terms of useability for a ‘tool’ rather than simple ‘settings’.
