Oh the chore of documentation and user error prevention

June

I love to create php scripts and plugins for wordpress, I love the feeling of acomplishment when something I have conceived turns into reality (and useful to boot!)

Whenever this happens my first reaction is to PUTITONTHENET! but, experience tells me that before I can do that, I need to go through the code and settings page and try every conceivable permutation of user input to see if it breaks the program. Problem is, as the code gets more and more complicated, the more options and different ways of using the program there are.

So, I have to do the best I can to test it on my own machine and on a few different servers I have spotted around the globe and if that works, send it out! Chances are that someone will find some new way to break it but, that’s how things get better (I keep telling myself)

Now I have to put some documentation up for new CommentLuv, the API, the ComLuv network and oh about a ton of other things and this post was a useful procrastination (makes you go blind you know!?).

Code, PHP

    Any luck yet with the existing user email coming up as taken when you add new users to your subdomain blog?

    update: if an existing user of the main site is to be added to your sub blog then you need to use their original username and email address and it’ll go through.

    Sounds like you have been a very busy bee lately with the new launch of Commentluv and other things.
