Enhancing the Publication Checklist Integration for the LSX Tour Operator Plugin

[ashleyshaw]

Introduction:

Adding a publication checklist that is specifically customized to the Tour Operator plugin's content types and taxonomies would ensure that all required fields and taxonomies are completed before a post is published.

Problem/Opportunity:

We need a checklist to account for specific fields and taxonomies in the LSX Tour Operator plugin. Currently, users might miss crucial information like custom post types or key metadata for tours.

Proposed Solution:

We could build custom logic directly into the LSX Tour Operator plugin to check for content completion. This would remove the need for external plugins and allow tighter integration with the plugin's specific structure, ensuring nothing is left incomplete before publication.

Alternatives Considered:

Relying on external publication checklist plugins could work, but custom solutions offer more control and reliability specific to this use case.

Challenges:

• Ensuring the custom checklist does not conflict with other plugins or WordPress core updates.
• Defining what counts as "complete" for custom post types and taxonomies.

Call for Feedback:

What do you think about the approach of building a custom checklist directly into the plugin? Are there any other plugins or features we should look at for inspiration?

Next Steps:

Once we finalize this approach, I’ll start working on a detailed specification and initial code implementation.

• @ZaredRogers we could use something like Human Made's publication checklist.
• @krugazul where would we register a new meta panel like this?
