This project is intended to be an introduction to plugin development, starting with a very simple plugin and then refactoring multiple times.

Our client runs a blog in which most posts contain affiliate links. We have told our client that every post containing these links must contain a disclaimer, as per FTC Guidelines. Our client realizes that every time they miss a disclosure, it could cost them up to $16,000.

We both agree that it is best to include a discolsure automatically for every blog post.

(Each subfolder in this repository is the same plugin, but refactored in one way or another )

• 1-basic-plugin

  This is the most basic version of our plugin. It gets the job done, but it can be optimized a bit.

• 2-output-buffer

  We decided our code could be a little cleaner, so we use an output buffer.

• 3-separate-view-and-logic

  We really want to avoid mixing logic and views, so we will put our view in a partials folder.

• 4-internationalization-and-sanitization

  Our client would really like to use this in the future on another site that is in Spanish, so let's make that a possibility right from the start. We need to make sure to sanitize all translations, too!
