Display GitHub milestones on your blog!

Look up creating a personal API token for GitHub. Insert this token into the appropriate field on the Milestones settings page.

Then use the milestones shortcode like so:

[milestones user="downshift" repository="prophoto-issues"]

Voilà! You will have milestones sorted by due date with their issues grouped underneath.

Checkout view/layout.php for an example of rendering milestones. The view has a single $data variable that is the response from the GitHub API. It is a collection of milestones strait from the API, only they have been augmented to have an issues key that is all issues belonging to that milestone.

There are two filters available for overriding the default CSS as well as the template:

This filter can be used to return the path to a different view file that will be loaded with the $data variable:

add_filter('milestones_template', function ($template) {
    return '/path/to/something/different.php';
});

This filter lets you replace the CSS loaded for styling milestones:

add_filter('milestones_list_milestones_css', function ($url) {
    return 'http://url/to/other.css';
});

• Maybe some fancier defaults
