Edit Flow

Redefining your editorial workflow.

0.7.1 (Apr. 11, 2012)

  • Show the year on the calendar and story budget if it's not the current year
  • Allow users to save post subscriptions the first time they save the post. This also fixes the bug where a user wouldn't be subscribed until they saved the post twice
  • Changed the behavior of notifications for the user changing a status or leaving a comment. Previously, they'd receive an email with the action they just performed; now they do not. This can be changed with a filter
  • New Italian localization thanks to Luca Patané
  • Bug fix: Auto-subscribe the post author to their posts by default but make it filterable
  • Bug fix: Only show authors in the user dropdown for the calendar and the story budget. This new behavior can be filtered out however
  • Bug fix: Metaboxes are registered with proper priority. Props benbalter
  • Bug fix: If a user hasn't ever opened the calendar before, the date should default to today, not the Unix Epoch
  • Bug fix: Prevent editorial metadata filters from stomping on others' uses by actually returning the original value when we don't want to manipulate it
  • Bug fix: Specify a max-width on <select> dropdowns in the calendar and story budget so long values don't break formatting

0.7 (Jan. 9, 2012)

  • Entire plugin was rewritten into a modular architecture (e.g. each feature is broken into a module you can enable or disable). One point of the modular architecture is to make it much easier for others to contribute new features. For the end user, there’s a brand new settings page where you can manage your modules. Each module then registers a configuration view for module settings. Most have options to choose which post types you’d like it activated for, along with other configuration options.
  • Calendar is far more functional. Content is viewed in a six week view by default, and number of weeks is configurable in screen options. Posts can be dragged and dropped between dates. Click on a post title to get the details about the post, including editorial metadata.
  • Custom statuses can be drag and drop ordered with AJAX. All statuses (including core ‘draft’ and ‘pending’) can be edited or deleted.
  • Editorial Metadata terms can be ordered with AJAX. Terms can be made “viewable” and then will be displayed on the manage posts view and calendar if enabled.
  • Story Budget shows “viewable” editorial metadata and fixes a few bugs, including not showing posts in a subcategory of a parent category.
  • Notifications/subscriptions are filtered so you can disable the auto-subscribing of authors or editorial commenters.
  • Important note: If upgrading from pre-v0.6, please upgrade to v0.6.5 first to ensure all of your data remains intact.

0.6.5 (Sept. 19, 2011)

  • Bug fix: Workaround for a bug in core where the timestamp is set when a post is saved with a custom status. Instead, we update the timestamp on publish to current time if a custom post date hasn't been set. Thanks saomay for help tracking the bug down.

0.6.4 (Jul. 22, 2011)

  • Display unpublished custom statuses inline with the post title, per WordPress standard UI
  • New number type for editorial metadata, so you can have fields like "Word Count"
  • Dropped the admin option for disabling custom statuses on posts. It didn't work, and this is handled by post_type_supports()
  • Add a 'Clear' link to editorial metadata date fields to allow user to easily clear the input
  • Bug fix: Proper support for bulk editing custom statuses
  • Bug fix: Contributor saving a new post respects the default custom status, instead of reverting to 'draft' as the post status
  • Bug fix: Better respect for user roles and capabilities in Story Budget
  • Bug fix: Custom statuses in Quick Edit now work as you'd expect them
  • Bug fix: Show all taxonomy terms (most likely categories) on the Story Budget, regardless of whether they include published content
  • Bug fix: If there are no editorial metadata fields available, a message will display instead of leaving an empty post meta box

0.6.3 (Mar. 21, 2011)

  • Restored email notifications to old delivery method instead of queueing with WP cron because of reliability issues.
  • Better approach to including files so Edit Flow works properly on Windows systems.
  • Option to see all unpublished content on story budget and editorial calendar with a filter to include scheduled posts as unpublished content.

0.6.2 (Jan. 26, 2011)

  • Bug fix: Post Titles were broken in email notifications. (Thanks kfawcett and madguy000!)
  • Bug fix: Bulk editing any post types would cause editorial metadata to occasionally be deleted. (Thanks meganknight!)

  • Bug fix: Notifications for scheduled posts did not include links (Thanks erikajurney)

0.6 (Nov. 9, 2010)

  • New feature: Editorial Metadata. Previously, Edit Flow had 'due date', 'location' and 'description', as available editorial metadata. We've expanded this functionality to be completely customizable; admins can add any number of editorial metadata with the following types: checkbox, date, location, paragraph, text, or user dropdown.
  • New feature: Story Budget. View all of your upcoming posts in a more traditional story budget view. Posts are grouped by category, and view can be filtered by post status, category, user, or limited to a date range. Hit the print button to take it on the go.
  • Completely rewritten calendar view now saves filter state on a user by user basis. Also, highlights current day, and displays status and time for each post.
  • Temporarily disabled QuickPitch widget until we rewrite it to support editorial metadata.
  • Bug fix: Editorial comments should no longer show up in the stock Recent Comments widget or in the comments view in the WordPress Admin. The comment count number should also be correct.
  • Bug fix: Duplicate custom post statuses and usergroups are handled in more sane ways (aka creating, editing, and deleting should work as expected)
