XD Triggers

What is XDTriggers?

XDTriggers is a plugin that provides an easy to use interface to add custom PHP code to any WordPress filter or action hook.

What's so great about XDTriggers?

With XDTriggers you can see a list of the actions and filters you can use, and then just click the one you want, insert your code, and save.  This doesn't simplify plugin development all that much really, but it is a little easier.  The main advantage to using XDTriggers over just making your own plugin is the better performance.  The way that WordPress plugins work is that they are ALL included on every page load, even if they aren't used for that page.  XDTriggers is different, the triggers you add are stored in files that are only included on demand when the filter or action you bind to is called.

How do I get XDTriggers?

Download XDTriggers 1.0beta here. You install it like any other WordPress plugin, by uploading the file to your wp-content/plugins directory and then go to the Plugins section of your WP admin area. Be sure to unarchive it (tar -zxvf xdtriggers-1.0b.tgz).

How do I use XDTriggers?

Log into your WP admin area and go to Tools > XD Triggers. Once you are there, click Create Trigger to start.
