AnchorPlugins.com

First issue to kick things off on this repo, the site for it.

I realise none of the plugins work is stable enough to start work on a directory site, but we already do have a few assets in hand. For one @CorstianBoerman has the domain http://anchorplugins.com, which I did ask for it to be directed to https://anchorthemes.com/plugins. However it seems to be timing out, so I think it's be neglected.

So how do people want to approach plugins for Anchor? I was hoping to follow a similar pattern to Themes, which would eliminate the use for this repo. We could also use this as a registry, any repo approved and listed in this repo is listed on the plugins site and is available to download to Anchor CMS. We could also reflect this technique to themes.

To do:

• Get domain
• Setup domain
• Get Twitter account
• Create site
• Get a list of possible plugins
• Create plugins repo
• Finish plugins work on Anchor CMS
• Setup a verification process for plugins

Thoughts?

Personally, I like the idea of using this repo as a registry, with a website that pulls the plugins and allows users to download them. I think that's what ST's Package Manager did (or does).

@noahbuscher thanks for the feedback! Glad you like the idea. We'd get the best of both worlds if this was a registry of people's plugin repos, maybe using versioning to make sure they're stable.

I guess it could just be a json or yml list of repos with releases, any updates would need to combined into a release and updated in the registry.

I'm on the domain timeout when I'm done with work today.

@CorstianBoerman cool. You have the Twitter account too I guess?

I've already created the ability to feed multiple object types in to custom fields - I can push it in to a plugin if nobody else has already started it.

I wrote a whole new media section for it so in my Summernote WYSIWYG editor, I can access the images and it just calls them by slug. :)

[daviddarnes]

@robmdev would be cool to bundle this into a plugin, but we need to work out the best method first :). But you should absolutely push this to it's own repo!

[robmdev]

@daviddarnes Absolutely. I will branch off a new one because I made some changes I no longer like. Lol! I'll sort out a new version with the media manager.

With plugins, would it be viable to look at hooks, much like Slim PHP Framework? It's a very similar code style so could be useful to have a look at that. Cheers!

@daviddarnes is this still open for work?

[daviddarnes]

@CSCG it is, but it's gone stale sadly. Do you have a plugin in mind? We need to get the feature added before we setup a page for it
