Purpose
KCA allows you to add Javascript code snippets to any page on your site. It has an easy to use interface that lets you add, delete or manage your scripts. All your data is stored in the Wordpress database, so when it's time to update, there's no need to edit your template files anymore.

Demo
Most of the Javascript on this page has been added using KCA. Usually I would have to edit each template file to add the Javascript, but with KCA I can manage it all via the admin interface. It lets me keep track of and selectively activate/deactivate certain scripts if need be. Adding CSS is also simpler. Actually, adding anything to any part of page is a snap.
When the time comes to upgrade Wordpress, KCA makes the process a lot easier. Since KCA operates on the rendered page only, I no longer have to manually add the Javascript code to each Wordpress file that has changed.
Compatibility
- Wordpress 1.5.x
- Wordpress 2.x.x
New Installation
- Unzip and upload the "kca" directory into the plugins directory, keeping the directory structure intact.
- Make sure correct permissions are applied (files=0644, directories=0711).
- Activate the plugin.
- Find the plugin management page under Manage->KCA
- Click "Restore" under "Global" to populate with default settings.
- By default all sample records are activated.
- Uncheck "Activate", then "Update" to deactivate ones you don't require.
- Play with the default record sets.
- To restore original record sets, hit the "Restore" button in "Global".
Upgrading
- Deactivate kca.
- Remove old "kca" directory (to make sure no left over redundant files are carried over to the new version upgrade, since some files have changed).
- Unzip and upload the "kca" directory into the plugins directory, keeping the directory structure intact.
- Make sure correct permissions are applied (files=0644, directories=0711).
- Activate the plugin (if you haven't already done so).
- Find the plugin management page under Manage->KCA
- Go to "Global" and click "Upgrade". The database will be converted to the latest format, ready for use.
Note:
Be sure to upgrade the data BEFORE you do anything else, otherwise you will lose the data already in the database.
To be certain you won't lose any data:
- Extract what data you do have
- Copy & paste to text file
- Save it somewhere
If something does go wrong, at least you will have some form of backup.
