My first WP plugin: An Error Reporting Service. Q's & feedback?

  • I’m working on an Error Reporting Service. It collects PHP errors and sends them to an Elastik app, an open source ticket system.

    Elastik can collect PHP errors with full information, merge duplicate errors, create tickets so staff can track the process of fixing them and email alerts to staff. The workflow, fields and categories of tickets are customisable.

    I’ve applied for it to be hosted at:
    https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/elastik-error-logging/
    But at the moment it’s at:
    https://github.com/jarofgreen/ElastikErrorLoggingWordPressPlugin
    Elastik app is at:
    https://elastik.sourceforge.net/

    Specific Questions:

    Can anyone see any problems with this?
    Does WordPress do any of it’s own error collection this would interfere with?

    On register_deactivation_hook or register_uninstall_hook should I be calling delete_option()?

    Also, any advice is very welcome. This is my 1st plugin so please point out anything I got wrong.

    Thanks,
    James

  • you may want to take a look at the plugin timber. it collects errors and displays them in the backend. it would be a good source of information for you.

    Thanks. It looks like it’s on hold since WordPress 2.7 but I’ve had a look and emailed the author.

    oh. well, i’ve used it on several installations above 2.7, and havent had any problems with it.

    Got an email from the author saying development has stopped. But it’s not complex to hook up so I would guess it’ll probably continue to work for a bit.

    Anyway, feedback on mine and help with my questions welcome …
