Random Code Generator 1.0

A couple of weeks ago, when I officially launched the redesign, I mentioned the forthcoming release of a plugin I wrote for the redesign. Random Code Generator is that plugin. I needed a plugin that generated a random promotional code and stored it in a database. I’m currently using it on Manifest Development to manage various promotions and ‘prizes’ I have going on, to make sure people can get a code, but cannot use it twice. Here is the official description:

A simple plugin that genrates a random string of characters and stores it in a database. By default the length is 10 characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, @!@#$%^&*()) and the strings are unique.

Right now it’s a bare bones plugin, with only major functionality done and the requirement to use a template tag. In the next build I plan on adding a delete code function and a hook to add the random code into any post or page.

If you want to check out the plugin, you can do it here or on the official WordPress page.
