Add/remove admin tabs without hacking txplib_head.php
After making this post on TXP Forum, looking at one of Mary’s plugins, the solution was emabarassingly simple: “add first-level admin-side tabs”:http://phpfi.com/233744.
Mary, thanks again for helping out with this ; ).
UPDATE
After phpfi.com went down, I’m re-posting the snippet that I’ve used in this blog post as a Gist: “new add first-level admin-side tabs snippet”:http://gist.github.com/53897
I must have deleted that snippet by mistake. I’ve re-done something similar using jQuery. Add that at the bottom of textpattern/jquery.js and you’re all set. Of course, you’ll need to modify my dummy tabs with yours.

Admin-side plugins
While building my first serious (read 1,000 lines+) admin-side plugin, I came across a few good links that I would like to share:
- Textpattern plugin cheatsheet – Yuriy is a really good developer by the way with some sweet plugins
- Plugin Development Topics on TextBook
- Customizing the Textpattern Admin Area on Textpattern Weblog
If I could just figure out now how to run admin-side plugins from the plugin_cache_dir...
Rails, Ruby on Rails
If you are wondering why the silence, take a look at this website: rails.calti.co.uk. I know, I know. I feel somewhat bad for “jumping ship”, but I’m afraid Capistrano, SVN and Ruby were far too tempting. I have been toying with the idea for ages, but I think that I have really taken the plunge lately.
I am just giving Mephisto a run for its money, but first impressions are well in favor of TXP. WP isn’t great shakes either, nor is Drupal or MT. Long live TXP ; ).
Having said that, Ruby is one seriously beautiful programming language…
