db-toolkit development
-
I have been working with db-toolkit for a few months now, and during this time I have been learning as much as I could about it.
I’m thrilled with its design goals, but yes documentation is needed badly.
I even have a handful of improvement and bug fixes that would be like to push upstream such as using wp 3.5’s javascript datepicker, but David Cramer is clearly stressed on time. Mr. Cramer, how can we help you?

Oh am I stressed! You have no idea of the stresses I’m going through.
How to help… Well. V1 is on github https://github.com/Desertsnowman/DB-Toolkit feelfree to fork it and get it working.
I think I’ll put the current version on Github as well. That way you can help fix things and push pull request on changes.
Either way your support helps motivate to allow me to use whatever free time i get to make achieving this dream of DB-Toolkit a reality.
It’s a lot of work, I love it. But life does tend to get in the way.
I think I’ll put the current version on Github as well. That way you can help fix things and push pull request on changes.
That’s what I’m talking about. My changes relative to 0.3.2.26 would be more productive.
This is great, David. I look forward to being able to help with the documentation.
This fix to datepicker applies to a problem where different versions of jqueryui interfere with each other. I found it works with WP 3.5 and db-toolkit 0.3.2.026

Hi there gwythaint,
for those of us who are complete noobs at this, can you explain where to put this code in order to make the date picker work? also can you tell us if the time picker will work as well after implementing this code? Thanks so much! 🙂
for those of us who are complete noobs at this
No, I shall not. Nothing personal, but my time is best spent improving the code.
I’ll let Desertsnowman decide how to get the changes in your hands. (hint hint)David, git hub is still “ancient”.. and doesn’t resemble the current code at all.
https://github.com/Desertsnowman/DB-ToolkitWhat was this yesterday?
“fixing loaders [David Cramer]”We could talk more, if you could give me your contact information.
Great job on this plugin. I just d0n@t3d to the cause. Can you send over a quick email? Time best spent is fueled somehow! 😉 FUEL!
Hey David,
From my side I would like to support as well,
we are using DBToolkit for some important Projects,
that are even used in 4 Cantons in Switzerland !We have been discussing at the last meeting, whether we should put some money together, make a project and have your efforts payed.
DBToolkit is far to good and useful and we would really like to help you improve the Project and of course the GitHub Community as well.
Let us know on this Channel whether a payed Project and some GitHub Crowd-Sourcing would help you / us achieve this.
Best Wishes from Switzerland,
I know how it it is to be “Under Water” as a Programmer from time-to-time …Domi
I fully agree with rainbat. I can help with both money and coding. Let’s just get some framework together. I’m anxious to integrate my fixes to into 0.3.2.26
Please note that these forums do not support commercial products. Only the free plugins downloaded from http://wordpress.org/plugins/. Please contact the plugin’s developer directly with any comments, or questions, about commercial development.
ok guys, I understand the forum rules 🙂
So lets meet up on GitHub for further discussion about funding Davids efforts.
@esmi
let me just append, if we fund a further development of DBToolKit I am more than willing of giving it fully back to the community via this channel – i love Open Source 🙂 I love WordPress 🙂 I could help so many small start-ups getting up and running thanks to the community …so it’s not that commercial or is it ?
All the best, Domi
Doesn’t matter. You need to discuss funding with the plugin developer directly – not here.
If you want to donate, there’s a donate link on the plugin details page.
I wont discuss funding for this as its an open project. Thanks for the thought though.And to make everyone happy, there’s an update coming today 🙂 just a small one.
I’m back on this technology for a few weeks…
