Anyway, Heres an alpha release of a plugin i'm working on:
http://dd32.id.au/files/core-control.zip
cURL: An Error has occured: name lookup timed out
I Disabled cURL
PHP fopen(): Successfully retrieved & verified document from
http://tools.dd32.id.au/wordpress/core-control.php
PHP fsockopen(): Successfully retrieved & verified document from
http://tools.dd32.id.au/wordpress/core-control.php
I somewhat thought that would happen, I dont know why, But i suspect
cURL bundled with PHP with MAMP is crippled.. or maybe the timeout for
curl's lookup is just too short.. no idea why
I'm quite sure something changed with WP 2.7. This all worked before
-- I didn't change MAMP, but I did upgrade WP. Though again, it *was*
working with WP 2.7 betas, so maybe something else on my computer is
screwy....
Plugin update check worked -- no new updated found.
(Incidentally, Update *check* has been working, just no the actual
auto-update on plugins
Which is odd.. Given that if one fails, they should both fail.. It
could just be that cURL works 50% of the time..
It's a pretty precise 50%. Update checking worked (seemingly)
normally, but actual updates failed every time.
The plugin looks as though it has good potential for
troubleshooting and
certain development tasks. (Actually the ability to "check for
update now"
is going to help me with another thing I'm working on, so...
Cool! :-)
Thats the main purpose of it :) But i'm planning on basing a few small
modules off it, I'm sick of building a dozen tiny plugins for random
uses which might only be used once, I wanted something i could just
add it as a seperate module which would hopefully be of use to someone
else in some form :) -
BTW, I updated your core plugin this morning, and now the front page
is blank. (The one that lets me turn modules on/off.)
That.. And some way I could update the plugin
without having to submit the 1-liner to wordpress.org..
Got any thoughts on other modules which would be helpful to plugin
developers?
You might put in a module that shows everything in the wp-cron and
allows the user to run them with a button. A sort of stripped-down
crontrol.
You could also put in something that shows the wp-rewrite info and/or
the mod_rewrite stuff that WP writes to .htaccess
As for existing "one-liner" plugins, how about...
Toggle post revisions and autosave:

At any rate, you might set your plugin up so that third-party devs can
make modules. That probably includes making a "module" folder
*outside* of your plugin's folder, so the third-party modules are not
overwritten on auto-update. (I really wish WordPress would figure out
a standard for such things -- there are a lot of plugins that allows
third-party add-on files.)
