The SQL you have could be injected automatically in the plugin. Look into how you can execute code on plugin activation, and then check if the table already exists, if not, create the table.

There's a project that includes only the core of the posts-to-posts plugin at
https://github.com/AppThemes/wp-posts-to-posts-core

Might be easier to integrate directly into the plugin.

Some fields should be mandatory (eg. event start /endtime)...
How to enforce this? (Preferrably a server-side solution).

Currently no checks are being done. Meaning there are errors on the browse pages.
There are some plugins that handle this: http://wordpress.org/plugins/mandatory-fields/installation/

How to modify already exisiting tags ? (Without ob_*)
For the html tag: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/89193/cant-find-where-to-modify-html-attrbitutes

Possible hookable filters:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/template
http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/single_template (voor CPT??)
http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/template_include (inb4 inclusion)

Using shortcodes instead of page templates eliminates the need of copying over the page template files (which is rather dirty) 🙈

When downloading the project zip file from the GitHub repository, it will not include all needed files. This is because we link to other submodules, which are basically different projects being included in our own.

The fix is simple: download the plugin from the AppsForX WP plugin site and you'll be able to upload that zip file directly in the WordPress admin interface.

Display the content!

In accordance with #10

Problem

When random people go to your repository they have no idea what this is about

Possible solution

Include basic info about the project in the README.md in markdown:

• It's a wordpress plug-in, why it is built, and what problem this piece of code will fix
• Link to the Apps for Europe project (http://appsforeurope.eu/) and to the ontology github
• add copyright information to the project: OKFN Belgium (some rights reserved). License: I think the MIT license would be best here.
• ...

The plugin Advanced Custom Fields appears to replace both posts-to-posts and the Custom-Meta-Boxes plugin.
Things like repeater-functionality appear to be a paid feature though.

The patch file is located in meta/p2p.patch.

Perhaps this can be avoided by hooking into "user_has_cap",
tracing where the call came from, and return "true" if the call came from posts-to-posts.

CPT needs Metaboxes for title, description, logo, jury, awards,..

Output in RDFa

When metadata gets back from the database, the value is stored in a 1-sized array. Is this because of the CMB library's "repeatable" feature? Should these values be flat, or is this standard WordPress behavior? The values are integers or strings, not arrays.

Not all fields are covered right now,
each CPT should have its needed CMB's (events,ideas,apps)

Handle submissions:

• create form
• list in admin as CPT

This might be possible by

• adding the thumbnail capability to the CPT
• remove CMB from display
• overwriting _thumbnail_id on metadata update

Default usertype on register should be able to submit ideas/apps.

Using custom post types (events, ideas, apps), we want users to be able to add/edit them.
These users need to have the edit_posts capability, otherwise an error will be printed.

Although if they get the edit_posts capability they'll also be able to add and edit actual posts.

Create i18n translation files

Don't forget to complete your README.md file with installation and other instructions.

Group the files from the plugin in a separate folder (e.g. appsforx).
Do the same with database files (e.g. database), and other files.

Investigate / integrate one of the following custom metaboxes libraries for use in Events&Ideas.
https://github.com/jaredatch/Custom-Metaboxes-and-Fields-for-WordPress
https://github.com/humanmade/Custom-Meta-Boxes

The admin could use an overview page that lists the pending ideas/apps.
The menu item exists, but has no content.
