{eac}SoftwareRegistry Software Taxonomy

Açıklama

{eac}SoftwareRegistry Software Taxonomy is an extension plugin to {eac}SoftwareRegistry Software Registration Server.

Now with plugin hosting on Github to provide complete, automated plugin information and updates in WordPress.

{eac}SoftwareRegistry Software Taxonomy is a simple plugin extension that allows you to set and override {eac}SoftwareRegistry options for specific software products. It both defines the software product as well as the server parameters used when that product is registered via the software registration application program interface.

When an API request is received by the registry server, the registry_product is matched to the software taxonomy slug. When a match is found, the parameters entered in the software taxonomy meta data are used to override the registry server default parameters.

  • Software Product

    • Default Full Term – The full term when activating a registration
    • Default License – The default license level (L1-L5, LD) to assign to newly created registrations

    • WordPress Plugin Slug – The {directory}/{plugin.php} slug of the WordPress plugin.
    • GitHub Repository – The {owner}/{repository} id of the github repository.
    • Repository Source – Select which source to use from the repository (branch, release).
    • Tag Name – (Optional) Specific release or branch tag name (or id).
    • Path to readme.txt – Pathname within the repository to the readme.txt file.

    • GitHub Access Token – Your GitHub personal access token, Increases the github rate limit and is required for private repositories.
    • Plugin URLs – Displays the URL(s) you will need for your plugin file and readme.txt file.

License Limitations

Based on the license level assigned to a registration, we can limit the optional values in the registration API (count, variations, options, domains & sites). This allows APIs (possibly from multiple sources) to register any/all values for these options while filtering on the registration server, providing an effective (albeit rudimentary) licensing validation.

For each license level ( L1=Lite, L2=Basic, L3=Standard, L4=Professional, L5=Enterprise, LD=Developer ) you may set a limit for count, variations, options, domains, and sites.

  • count – Number of licenses (users/seats/devices)
  • variations – List of custom name/value pairs
  • options – List of custom registry options
  • domains – List of valid/registered domains
  • sites – List of valid/registered sites/uris

For count, the value passed through the API is limited to a maximum value.
For variations, options, domains, and sites, the arrays passed through the API are sliced to a maximum number of elements.

GitHub Hosting

* GitHub hosting requires installation of the {eac}Readme plugin in order to process readme.txt files.

Wether you’re using software registration or not, you can use Github Hosting to manage your software releases and provide automated updates for your WordPress plugins.

New in version 2.0, these options allow for the “self-hosting” of WordPress plugins on GitHub in a way similar to and meeting the requirements of the WordPress plugin repository.

More details may be found in the included readme_github.md file.
