Thanks for letting me know about that, it’s a bit of advance documentation for the next release.
It will be out very soon, within a couple of days at this point. It is a major release that (unsurprisingly) took longer than anticipated to complete and test…will actually be version 2.0.
Hi, thank you for replying so quickly, and I thought as much when I read your previous reply, these things always take longer than expected. I look forward to the update.
Also, please will you confirm something, as looking to get one of your add-ons.
It’s the “Pretty Permalinks” one, which would work well with what I want to do.
So can I check, each time I enter a record, or a “participant”, will this plug-in create a new page on my blog that will become indexable by Google, if that is the case, event better.
Or is there something I will need to do in addition to adding a record for this to be published to the internet? Or will this become self explanatory once I purchase the upgrade?
The other question that maybe you’ve thought about is being able to edit the data in table form for speed too.
Thank you once again.
Cheers, Russell
Pretty Permalinks is just for setting up human-readable links for your PDB records. The Directory Tools add-on is the one to use to get your PDB records indexed by search engines. It creates a WP post for each record, which exposes the data (you have control over this) to site-wide search and search engines.
Hi – perfect, thank you. So I assume that it I want these records to each have a pretty link, I add the “Pretty Link” add on as well?
Cheers, Russell
I don’t recommend you use both plugins. I’m not saying its impossible, but it’s typically unnecessary.
A Proxy Post is a WP post, so it will have a “pretty” URL already, so it’s generally not necessary to also have a pretty link for the PDB post as well. This is because the typical use of Directory Tools is to use the WP post to display the data, not the [pdb_single] shortcode, which is for displaying a PDB record.
