We are doing extensive work with WordPress, developing plugins, themes and also modifying the code base where necessary. In the process I found it necessary to create a online cross-reference of WordPress source along with capability to annotate / comment (AJAX based) as necessary.

I present you the first iteration of the effort - WordPress Source Cross Reference.

What can you do?

  • You can browse the source code by directory, search, cross-reference etc.
  • Find & browse class, function, variable and constant definitions
  • Find where a class, variable or function has been used.
  • Find list of all classes, functions, variables, constants etc.
  • Search - general or targeted
  • Comment / Annotate source etc.
  • Print colorized source code.
  • You can reference WordPress source directly from your WordPress related articles. Find the file name (can be easily guessed) and append the line number (or function name) after #.

Want more?

The source code is fetched from WordPress Subversion repository and updated every six hours. Then it is cross referenced (phpxref) and annotated (home grown commenting system for html). Your comments will appear instantly. No comment moderation is done or required.

Hope it is be useful to you.
