Creating WordPress Site Visualization Plugin with PHP
Blog post from PubNub
The blog post discusses the creation of a WordPress plugin called SiteViz, designed to offer real-time visualization of site content using PubNub's PHP and JavaScript SDKs. This plugin helps site administrators manage content more efficiently by providing a bird's eye view of all categories, posts, and comments, updating live to reflect changes made to the site. It leverages WordPress action hooks to capture and publish updates, allowing administrators to see essential metrics and reduce information overload through a tree-like visualization. While SiteViz is intended for demonstration and not tested in production, it highlights the potential of integrating real-time features into WordPress plugins, paving the way for more interactive and responsive site management tools. The visualization is created using the D3.js library to render a force-directed graph, providing a clear and dynamic representation of the site's structure and content relationships.
