I will be working shortly on some upgrades to the Docs to WordPress plugin and wanted to get some input on what people would like to see in the next version. There have been a lot of great ideas floated in the comments section on previous posts but I’d like to get them all in one place, if possible. Please leave your thoughts below.
Dan Gavin points out on Twitter that there are some things slipping through the clean extender.
Planned:
* Use the WordPress HTTP API instead of CURL and redo the classes used.
* A few options, including an extender to use a delimiter in the doc.
* Pass args to pre_docs_to_wp_insert filter
* Copy embedded images into the media library. Options to keep the images embedded or just use as attachment
* Better support for multisite
It would be awesome to have an option to “pull” and run the cron on command rather than running it every X seconds — something end-user-friendly. We love using this plugin to create the bridge to GDocs, but in one of our use cases the content will never be updated once it hits the transfer collection — all changes are done in-post.
Very interesting plugin as i’m busy on a new website. A news WordPress website.
This could be very useful. I just started at this job. The old website is … very very old.
I want to create the number 1 newswebsite in our town (there is not so much competition) with great gadgets and tools.. SocialMedia and usergenerated content must be added i think.
Can you tell me some more about other Plugins i really should install on news-websites to deal with content (also pics and video) and other stuff you encountered on news websites. Author/editor tools, pic-library,
If i could better mail you with these questions.. just tell.
Many thanks

Wilbert,
Thanks for commenting. The place I’d recommend starting is http://dev.bangordailynews.com/category/plugins/. The very first post at the bottom of the page details several plugins I’d recommend, and there are a few more, including to help manage images, above. What specific functions are you looking for?
