01. Basic Plugin - WordCamp Notes

📋 Overview

Presentation Title: Building Your First WordPress Plugin
Presentation Description: Learn the fundamentals by creating a practical WordCamp Notes plugin that attendees can use during the conference.

This example demonstrates how to create a basic WordPress plugin from scratch using WordPress Playground. You'll build a WordCamp Notes plugin that allows users to take and organize notes during sessions.

🎯 What You'll Learn

  • WordPress plugin structure and organization
  • Custom Post Type registration
  • WordPress Playground blueprints
  • Plugin activation and basic functionality

🚀 Quick Start

  1. Copy the contents of blueprint.json
  2. Go to WordPress Playground
  3. Click "Import Blueprint" and paste the JSON
  4. The plugin will be automatically installed and activated

📁 Files

  • plugin.php - Main plugin file with Custom Post Type registration
  • blueprint.json - WordPress Playground configuration

🔧 Code Structure

The plugin registers a custom post type called wc_note for storing WordCamp session notes. It includes:

  • Session tracking (title, speaker, time)
  • Note content management
  • Minimal dependencies

✅ Expected Outcome

After running the blueprint, you should see:

  • A new "WordCamp Notes" menu item in the WordPress admin
  • Ability to create, edit, and manage notes
  • Custom post type working in the admin area

🎓 Next Steps

  • Add custom meta boxes for session details
  • Implement note categories
  • Add custom fields for speaker and session time
