WordPress plugin repository system

The  file outlines a full-featured public WordPress plugin repository system. It enables functionalities such as frontend display, plugin rating, filtering, category organization, pagination, and options for both paid and free plugins.



Here's a breakdown of what the plugin does:

  • Database Management:

    • Upon activation, it creates or updates a custom database table (wp_plugin_repo) to store plugin information like name, version, description, file URL, preview image, tags, category, rating, rating count, upload details, whether it's paid, and its sale URL.

  • Admin Area Features:

    • Admin Menu: Adds "Plugin Repository" and "Plugin Settings" menu items under the WordPress admin panel.
    • Plugin Upload: Provides an interface in the admin area to upload new plugins. This includes fields for:
      • Plugin Name, Version, Description, Tags (comma-separated), Category.
      • Option to mark a plugin as "Paid," which then requires a "Sale URL."
      • For "Free" plugins, a ZIP file upload is required, and the plugin validates the ZIP to ensure it contains PHP files.
      • An option to upload a preview image for the plugin.
    • Plugin Listing and Management: Displays a list of all uploaded plugins in the admin area, showing their details, whether they are paid or free, their current rating, and actions to download/buy or delete them.
    • Settings Page: Allows administrators to adjust settings for individual plugins, specifically toggling their "Paid" status and setting the "Sale URL." It also includes a mechanism to fix potential database schema issues.

  • Frontend Display (via Shortcode):

    • Provides a [plugin_repo] shortcode that can be used on any WordPress page or post to display the plugin repository to site visitors.
    • Filtering and Sorting: On the frontend, users can filter plugins by tags and categories, and sort them by name, version, or rating (ascending/descending).
    • Pagination: Implements pagination for Browse a large number of plugins.
    • Rating System: Allows users to rate plugins from 1 to 5 stars. This rating contributes to the overall average rating and count for each plugin.
    • Download/Buy Links: Depending on whether a plugin is marked as free or paid, it will display a "Download" button (linking to the uploaded ZIP file) or a "Buy This Plugin" button (linking to the specified sale URL).
    • Preview Images: Displays a preview image for each plugin if one was uploaded.
