fishdan Jsonmaker

fishdan Jsonmaker provides hierarchical link trees for WordPress pages: drop in the [jsonmaker] shortcode, manage nested URLs inline, and expose any node as live JSON.

✨ Features

• Editable on the page – admins get inline “Add”, “Edit”, and “Delete” controls right beside each node.
• Slugged JSON endpoints – visit /json/<node-slug>.json to retrieve that branch of the tree; perfect for toolbars or dashboards.
• Flexible values – store either a URL or plain text; empty values create container nodes.
• Role-based capability – grants a dedicated jsonmaker_manage capability to administrators (extendable to custom roles).
• Single-option storage – the entire tree persists in jsonmaker_tree, avoiding extra tables or posts.

📦 Installation

1. Copy the fishdan-jsonmaker folder into your WordPress wp-content/plugins directory, or upload the ZIP via Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
2. Activate fishdan Jsonmaker under Plugins → Installed Plugins.
3. (Optional) Visit Settings → Permalinks and click Save to flush rewrite rules if /json/<slug>.json 404s.

🚀 Usage

1. Insert the shortcode [jsonmaker] into any page or post.
2. View the page while logged in as an administrator.
3. Use the Add Node buttons to create child nodes. Titles must be unique; values are optional (leave blank to create a container).
4. Use Edit to rename a node (its slug + JSON endpoint update automatically).
5. Use Delete to remove a leaf node. Nodes with children must be emptied first.
6. Access any node’s data at https://your-site.com/json/<slug>.json.

🔧 Developer Notes

• Capability tweaks – hook into activation or map_meta_cap to grant jsonmaker_manage to additional roles.
• Data shape – node arrays include title, slug, optional value, and optional children arrays.
• Customization – override the inline styles by dequeuing them and enqueuing a custom stylesheet if desired.
• Freemius SDK – access the telemetry/licensing SDK via the jsonmaker_fs() helper if you need to hook into its events.
