Optimize publication workflows by using WordPress as your print CMS

Eight Day Week provides a set of tools to manage your print workflow directly in your WordPress dashboard–right where your posts are! Primarily, it offers an interface to group, label, and manage the workflow status of posts in a printed "Issue".

Features:

Create "Print Issues"

• Add and order sections, and articles within sections
• Assign article statuses specific to your print workflow

Limit access to Print Roles

Two custom roles are added by this plugin to best model a real-world print team.

• The Print Editor role offers full access to the creation interfaces, such as Print Issue, Article Status, Print Publication, etc.
• The Print Production role offers read-only access to a Print Issues. The XML export tool is also available to Production users.

View a Print Issue in "Read Only" mode

• Circumvents the post locking feature by offering a read-only view of a print issue

XML Export to InDesign

• Export XML files specifically formatted for import into InDesign

Print Production has no settings or configurations to set up. It just works!

Eight Day Week provides a number of filters and hooks for customizing and extending the plugin.

Modules

Eight Day Week follows a module-style approach to many of its features. These can be turned on or off via filters, and all work independently. These are: Article Byline Article Count Article Export Article Status Issue Publication Issue Status Any of these can be disabled by returning a falsey value from the following filter format: add_filter( 'Eight_Day_Week\Plugins\load_$plugin', '__return_false' ); The $plugin value is a slug version of the plugin nam e, i.e. article-byline

Article Table

The information displayed in the list of articles within a Print Issue is filterable. Custom columns can be added via the following filters: Eight_Day_Week\Articles\article_columns and Eight_Day_Week\Articles\article_meta_$column_name.

Sample usage:

add_filter( 'Eight_Day_Week\Articles\article_columns', function( $columns ) {
    $columns['byline'] = _x( 'Byline', 'Label for multiple, comma separated authors', 'your-text-domain' );
    return $columns;
} );
add_filter( 'Eight_Day_Week\Articles\article_meta_byline', function( $incoming_value, $post ) {
    return implode( ', ', wp_list_pluck( my_get_post_authors_function( $post ), 'display_name' ) );
}

Print Issue Table

The information displayed in the list of Print Issues is filterable. Custom columns can be added via the following filter: Eight_Day_Week\Print_Issue_Columns\pi_columns Note that this is a convenience filter, the base filter is manage_edit-print-issue_columns See includes/functions/print-issue-columns.php for sample usage.

Article Export

The export of posts in a Print Issue is highly customizeable, from the file name of the zip, to the file name of the individual files, to the contents of the files themselves. The best reference would be to read through includes/functions/plugins/article-export.php. Here's a few examples used on the Observer.
