By the way, I’m using the latest stable version of Piklist 0.9.3.2 and the latest stable version of WordPress 3.9
What was the problem with the time picker field? Here’s hoping it makes a comeback soon – I was in the middle of creating an events system, and a time picker is essential 🙂
Do you have a release schedule or roadmap anywhere?Thanks for an awesome framework!
@sbruner Can you give us an idea when your Contact Manager might be released?
@Miguel Can you translate those strings using the WPML String Translation module?
@Roland I totally agree. Piklist can be made fully translatable in it’s own right, which is why I am advocating a separate plugin to provide any UI enhancements on top of Piklist if WPML (or some other multilingual plugin) is being used.
For example, Stella is another promising multilingual plugin by Theme FM. They have just recently released an add-on plugin for Yoast’s WordPress SEO. Now WordPress SEO is fully translatable, but the add-on plugin provides a nice UI to set SEO option per language from the WordPress admin.
I believe @Steve agrees that this is a sensible way forward.
@kattagami The buttons look great. I’m glad you’ve reused existing WordPress UI elements. The fact that it look like it’s “part of” WordPress is one of the great features of Piklist IMHO!
Can I suggest that where possible, if any WPML specific code is required, it would be better placed in a separate “bridge” plugin, rather than in Piklist core. This way, it keeps Piklist clean and minimal if multilingual capability is not required.
Jason Bobich followed this approach with his Theme Blvd WPML bridge plugin. Also Gravity Forms has a separate WPML bridge plugin, as do many of the leading WordPress eCommerce plugins.
@kattagami When I’m building a site with specific plugin requirements, I usually follow Mark Jaquith’s advice and crate a simple mu-plugin that basically forces certain plugins to be active. Take a look at this post he wrote a while ago on how he “lockeds” certain plugins on for a site he built.
@Steve That’s awesome! Piklist looks absolutely fantastic – I love that it’s “built for developers”, and it looks like it’s going to be a huge time-saver for me. I only wish I’d known about it earlier. The only reservation I have are with multilingual support. I live in Wales, and a large percentage of my clients require multilingual sites. Knowing that you’re now talking to the WPML guys has really made my day. I’ll be happy to help out where I can.
The WPML guys have a lot of knowledge about WordPress multilingual support. With their Go-Global Program, they’ll even help with making themes and plugins compatible with WPML, and give developers a free subscription to their members-only forum. Maybe it would be worth getting in touch with them?
