A few posts ago I wrote about the first implementation of the plugin generator wizard that I set up. This was a Habari version of the WordPress plugin generator that runs on my other site. I've decided that this site isn't the best place for the wizard so I have moved it.
When I wrote the Habari implementation of it I started from scratch instead of trying to port over the WordPress plugin. I planned on using FormUI which worked differently from the form classes I set up for the WP wizard and I also wanted to make it a much more flexible system so I wouldn't need to code every question, option and condition from scratch.
All of this meant that I had two entirely different sets of code for pretty much the same function and that was always going to be a headache.
To solve the problem I have set up a new site just for Wizards called Fun with Wizards. It is running Habari, and using the Habari plugin to control the wizards. Unfortunately it also means I have had to go back to the standard (non-Pratchett) method of spelling wizard, or else the domain would never get found, or remembered.
This new site gives me a lot of potential for expanding the wizard idea to other platforms that I don't necessarily know much about and lets me get much more targeted feedback without boring everyone that subscribes to my other sites.
I am also planning to create a version for Habari theme.php files at some point.
This blog is my stage for investigating and using Habari. This is my place to try new themes and plugins in the real world and live with it on a day to day basis.
