Annotator plugin for Wordpress

Adds inline annotations to Wordpress using the amazing Annotator widget (by the Open Knowledge Foundation).

Features

• Includes the Annotator JavaScript code and its third party party dependencies (i.e. jquery.js, and json2.js) into the currently active theme (no HTML editing needed).
• Offers the option to configure the annotable content area from the Wordpress settings page.
• Provides blog administrators with the option to decide whether to display only authenticated users' annotations or also annotations made by anonymous users.
• Provides a rudimentary regular expressions' based mechanism for configuring in what pages/blog sections the Annotator widget should be included.

Requirements

PHP >= 5.*.*

Running the unit tests

The plugin comes with a fairly decent test suite. To run the tests you will need PEAR, the PHP package manager. Once installed PEAR, you will also need to install the latest version of the PHPUnit package. This can be done by issuing the following commands:

pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
pear channel-discover components.ez.no
pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com
pear install phpunit/PHPUnit

The test suite has to be run from within the project root directory by executing the phpunit command with no options or arguments.

phpunit

The test suite can also be configured to run automatically whenever the library code changes. This is desirable while developing, as it allows to spot regressions sooner rather than later, and to keep tests up to date. In order to automate the execution of the tests you will need to install and run guard, a Ruby tool that allows to bind custom commands to file system events. The 'Guardfile' provided here contains a few useful configuration directives that allow doing this with PHPUnit tests.
