WTG Portal Manager Beta
Manage related content for a product or service in one place then offer it to visitors…in one place. The job of this plugin is to pull related content of all types (even a WP menu) into one area for both visitors and administrators. Everyone should have a better experience finding, updating, adding and removing information for the portals topic. That is goal number one. The portal manager should streamline the creation of portals and guide the user to ensure no elements of the portal are missed. That is goal two.
What do you imaging the third goal should be in a plugin of this nature, let know in the plugins forum?

Features List
- Manage many portals.
- Merge Twitter, phpBB and WP posts into a single “Updates” list.

- Add custom menu to each portal.
- High customization per portal is the goal, more to come soon!
Work In Progress
- Current Portal Selection menu on main page defaults to the first item.
- Too many configuration values are being stored in the settings array. Starting with sidebars move them to individual options.
- Serialize API credentials using key stored in plugin.
- Need a way to delete values in a form and reset it.
- Add functionality to the portal information in head of pages i.e. link to the portal, quick tools.
- Allow more than one Twitter account to be used on Updates list.
- Default values on Create Portal menus might be the cause of security warnings.
- Developer widget – will include portal ID and functionality for quickly changing portal.
- Setup a Trello account for this project.

Version Numbers and Updating
Explanation of versioning used by myself Ryan Bayne. The versioning scheme I use is called “Semantic Versioning 2.0.0” and more information about it can be found at http://semver.org/
These are the rules followed to increase the WTG Portal Manager plugin version number. Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:
MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes, MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes. Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as extensions to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.
When To Update
Browse the changes log and decide if you need any recent changes. There is nothing wrong with skipping versions if changes do not help you – look for security related changes or new features that could really benefit you. If you do not see any you may want to avoid updating. If you decide to apply the new version – do so after you have backedup your entire WordPress installation (files and data). Files only or data only is not a suitable backup. Every WordPress installation is different and creates a different environment for WTG Task Manager – possibly an environment that triggers faults with the new version of this software. This is common in software development and it is why we need to make preparations that allow reversal of major changes to our website.
