Description

I have a plugin framework that assists with development of plugins, widgets and shortcodes.

The main plugin description (taken the readme.txt file) describes the plugin framework, but I want to be able to add some text describing what applications have been deployed with the plugin.

I would like to be able to filter the plugins descriptive text in order to add supplementary information.

Something like:

apply_filters( 'admin_plugin_row', $item );

at the top of single_row() in class-wp-plugins-list-table.php would be perfect.

Hi @fcrossen, welcome to Trac!

Sorry it took so long for somebody to get back to you.

I can't see making the plugin description filterable in this way mainly because there's no precedent for it. The same goes for themes, for that matter. The description is sort of one thing the plugin or theme author has very specifically crafted in the description header and it's not something I think we should make filterable.

Best suggestion would be to add a link to the plugin row meta via the plugin_row_meta filter that could conceivably lead a visitor to information you're wanting to convey.
