Schedule categories separately, fan made experimental feature

  • Hi All,

    I’ve been doing a small change to this plugin and did not find any instructions on how to officially submit a changeset for review, so I add it here and hope it gets picked up.

    What I’ve added is the ability to configure the plugin to schedule each category of posts separately. That is if I have two categories cat_1 and cat_2 and have set publish to schedule to publish one post a day, it will be able to schedule one post from cat_1 AND one post from cat_2 each day.

    I find this useful as I’m writing posts on different subjects and want to publish them in separate areas of my site independently.

    I’ve added the ability to turn this feature off in the options screen too, to make the plugin work as the current version.

    If anybody else would find this useful please download and test my version, and let the developers know what you think here, so they might add it to the plugin.

    To test this feature download the plugin from:
    https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2026816/publish-to-schedule2.zip

    unzip it and upload publish-to-schedule2 to the wp-content/plugins/ directory on your server.

    It will show up in the list of installed plugins as Publish To Schedule 2. Deactivate Publish To Schedule before you activate Publish To Schedule 2.

    Then go to Settings->Publish To Schedule and tick yes to schedule each category separately, and then you should be good to go.

    To rollback simply deactivate Publish To Schedule 2 and activate Publish To Schedule again.

    This update is based on version 3.1.12 of Publish To Schedule and I’ve tested it in WordPress 3.5. Please let me know what you think and if you find bugs.

    Alex: if you find this useful please review my code and let me know if you want to add this feature to the plugin.

    Hi Nordlund!

    I downloaded your patch, but I still got no time to test it…
    And in the times you sent it to me, I was already releasing the last version.
    I’ll look into a way to merge these feature if I found it possible. And I need to do it a way that the plugin usage will no be messy!

    Thank you for your contribuition!
