Thread: Design Your Own WP Plugin

Our in-house Wp Guru is gonna be free of work for a week or three during January so I figured we'd use his availability to make a new toy or two...

Question:

If you could have a WP plugin made for you what would it do?

If we get some good responses (that are feasible and worth making) I'll put him to work on it and you can have it free as a New Years present!

Be as descriptive as you can be so it is understood what you want!

Sitemap Generator for Multisite setups.
Amazon reviews scraping and mixing/spinning plugin.

Also, I haven't seen a plugin which mixes several articles together to create a new unique one. I have seen some uBot programs which do it and although they are very basic the results are awesome. Very readable and very understandable.

There already is a multisite plugin for Google site maps - http://anonym.to?http://blog.mariokostelac.com/google-xml-sitemaps-multisite/

I can maybe let you have something we coded up for the Amazon reviews but don't use it on a weak host it's a bit power hungry!

I'll look in my software locker and see if I can find it... tomorrow

How about a plugin similar to wprobot but you can associate backlinks with posts (hudders asked about his once in a post). So, you provide a list of backlinks plus a relevant keyword. The plugin finds content based on the keywords and automatically posts it plus the backlink. An option would be to post the link naked or provide anchor text for it (that could be the same or different as the associated keyword).

Another option would be rather than find content based on a relevant keyword, it would find "most recent" or "hot" content and use that instead of the relevant keyword. In other words, you can choose a niche by keyword, or you can get it to scrape hot current event content.

Most importantly, the plugin spins the content so it is unique.

I'd like a plugin like http://anonym.to/?http://www.contestburner.com , awarding points to visitors that spread your site via tweet, facebook, youtube...

Can you make plugin that can grab press releases from different sites, get images and post them to any blog catagpries?

Can you make a plugin that searches Adwords ads for a specific long tail keyword and then shows results including cost per click to the advertiser? that would save a hell of a lot f time and effort.

This first part of what you said kind of describes Backlink Energizer but it doesn't spin.

Thank you, Jim.

Regarding the Sitemap, yes, I have this one and it doesn't really work. I have to rebuild the sitemap manually each time or it says "Error writing to sitemap file etc".

Hey guys just got an urgent pre xmas boost job in from a client with more money than sense so will be tied up for a few days - I am watching this and will be back for some clarifications asap...
