Building this plugin

PressForward uses a number of build steps to create a usable plugin. When building the plugin from the source, you will need to run the following commands:

1. npm install to install the necessary dependencies.
2. npm run build to build NPM-controlled assets, including much of the JavaScript in the plugin. If you are developing, you can use npm run start to watch for changes.
3. composer install --no-dev to install the necessary runtime PHP dependencies. For development, you can use composer install, which includes dependencies required for testing and development.
4. If you are not running the SCRIPT_DEBUG WordPress constant, you may need to run gulp minify-core-js && gulp minify-core-css to generate minified versions of some of PF's assets, in order to see your changes to certain legacy files not controlled by NPM.

Important Note

If you were running this plugin pre-2.3 and have upgraded, you need to go into the Feeder menu and click the Switch feeds to new retrieval setup button.

Project goals:

• Retrieve items within the WordPress dashboard as an independent process (no required attachment to external servers)

• Retrieve their full content to read from within WordPress's dashboard.

• Allow individuals or groups to mark items for consideration and discuss them within the dashboard, either from the retrieved items or via bookmarklet.

• Easily post about retrieved items as the end point of a smoothly integrated editorial process.

• Provide the entire process in a attractive, responsive and mobile friendly design.

• Provide an open source back-end that is easily extendable for other developers and that can be hooked into by other independent WordPress plugins.
