CCG Manager

CCG Manager is a way to store your collectable card game trading cards in WordPress. It’s based off of desktop apps like Magic Suitcase which store your card collections and allow you to search through your inventory. 

Using custom post types and taxonomies, you can store information about your cards, sort them by series, and split them into collections. Collections could be based on whatever criteria you like — some examples could be to split them by game, decks, etc.

Future development

This was mostly just a sideproject of mine, but it’s based off of real software I used when I was collecting Magic: the Gathering cards actively. This plugin will always be free, which means I’m not making any money off of it, and therefore may or may not be inclined to add new features to it. However, given enough interest, there are a few directions this plugin could go like…

Premium Extensions

Game-based extensions that add new features (like additional meta-fields for game-specific information not included in the basic plugin) and game-centric icons that replace the generic text that displays for casting/summoning cost or series.

I’m open to other suggestions for extensions as well from anyone who wants to use this plugin.

So how will these extensions get made?

Each add-on extension will likely have some kind of bounty based on how long it would take to develop it. I’ll try to throw together some kind of Kickstarter-like donation system, so people can donate toward a particular goal and if enough people donate (or pledge to donate), the add-on gets made.

How do I request an extension?

For now you can either open a ticket in the GitHub issue tracker or ping me on Twitter.
