Time for action

As usual, we discussed plenty of practical usages for open source libraries within WordPress. We completed the implementation of a few scenarios and left out some tasks for future development. As developers, you should take this opportunity to get experience in integrating various third-party libraries:

  • Track the latest published topics in a separate database table and schedule a cron job for sending notification periodically
  • Create a member-specific RSS feed for topics and let users subscribe to get updates
  • Implement edit and delete functionality for a topic list using Backbone.js
  • Integrate OpenAuth login for Facebook and Twitter
