Description

Tired of ever-present notices in the WordPress administration?

Dependencies

1. Node >= 8.11 & NPM - Build packages and 3rd party dependencies are managed through NPM, so you will need that installed globally.

Getting Started

• Clone the repository
• cd into the plugin folder
• run composer install --no-dev to install necessary composer dependencies (for production build only)
• run npm install to install necessary npm dependencies

NPM Commands

• npm run translate (regenerate the POT translation file)
• npm run zip (build ZIP file for release)

Releasing a version update

All code changes in the plugin should be done in branches that are branched out of the develop branch. Whenever the code is ready and we are releasing a version update of both the premium and free edition of this plugin, follow the below procedure:

1. In case there are any, merge all open branches to the develop branch.
2. Check if any pull requests / changes need to be retrofitted from the master branch to the develop branch. These are not common, but sometimes we do branch out from the master branch to release hotfixes. Important: Merge any hotfixes from the master branch to the develop branch before the final testing.
3. Change the version number in the following:
   1. readme.txt file
   2. admin-notices-manager.php file: in the header and also constant ADMIN_NOTICES_MANAGER_VERSION
   3. package.json file
   4. composer.json file
4. Run the following command: npm install
5. Build the necessary files with this command: gulp build
6. Update the plugin translation files with this command: gulp i18n
7. Update change log.
8. If need be, commit any pending changes and push to the develop repo.

Creating the plugin zip file

At this stage the code of the Admin Notices Manager plugin is ready for release. Run the command npm run zip to generate the zip file for testing.
