I just updated the WordPress TexMate Bundle with some new features.
Cron/Scheduled Events
I’ve never really worked with the built in Cron in WordPress but have heard others talk about how much of a pain it is. After recently reading a Sitepoint.com article on scheduling events I was able to get the jist of it. The WordPress Bundle now includes snippets for complete actions such as registering single and recurring events. I figure I had better get the snippets in there while it was fresh in my mind.
Transients
A little less fresh in my mind were Transients. After watching a presentation on caching at WordCamp Boulder by the very likable (and, yes, smart) Sean O’Shaughnessy and Chris Scott from Voce Communications I got pretty stoked about these functions. Like the wp_cache… shortcuts there are now shortcuts to the transients functions. For more information about the wonderful world of transients check out WordPress Codex pages on the Transients API.
Scripts & Styles
Two new shortcuts for wp_register_script and wp_register_style were added. Though they’re a couple lesser used functions, I feel they’re a bit underused as well.
All done for now
So, while not a huge update it adds some obscure references that hopefully help some folks dive deeper in to developing for WordPress.
