Install

No release zip yet. The repository archive installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow:

wp plugin install https://github.com/rgadon107/extend-give-wp/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
Readme github.com/rgadon107/extend-give-wp ↗

Purpose

This plugin extends the GiveWP donation plugin by:

(1) setting an option in the WordPress database to store and retrieve the featured image post ID displayed in the Give donation form;

(2) registering custom functions to the GiveWP plugin to render additional labels, content blocks, and a captioned featured image; and

(3) registering extend-give-wp with the Custom module of the central-hub must-use plugin to flush the rewrite rules on plugin status change ( e.g. activation, deactivation, uninstall );

This plugin's structure is modeled on the Sandbox-Workspace plugin, which is also available from the KnowtheCode.io code repository on GitHub.com.

Application

The plugin is currently in use on the Cornerstone Chorale & Brass website. It's also under version control in the 'extend-give-wp' repository on Github.com.

Install Dependencies with Composer, the PHP Package Manager

A composer.json file is included in the plugin root directory. Composer adds several development dependencies to add the WordPress coding standards to this plugin.

To activate Composer:

  1. From the Terminal command line, change directories to the /plugins directory in your WordPress install.

  2. Open the repository on Github.com and either clone the repository directly into the /plugins directory, or download the plugin as a *.zip archive, and upload and activate the plugin with the WordPress plugin installer.

  3. From the Terminal command line, change directories to extend-give-wp.

  4. On the command line, type composer install. Composer will install all dependencies in the plugin /vendor directory, and add a composer.lock file to lock down the installed packages.

  5. To update Composer packages, change directories to extend-give-wp, and type 'composer update' on the command line. Composer will check for any package installs, updates, and removals.
