Updates and Library
deckerweb GitHub Updater V2 offers public stable releases through regular WordPress updates. Install the release ZIP for the first installation. deckerweb Library adds a deckerweb tab in the plugin installer and shared settings. It is separate from Find Snippets.
The settings header/footer includes the icon, version, localized documentation, local changelog, plugin website and © 2025–2026 David Decker – DECKERWEB.
Configuration
Constants override personal display preferences. Users need manage_options and the configured QuickNav capability. The folder tree allows eight levels and defaults to 40 script/folder entries overall. Favorites and each status list also default to 40 entries. View all opens Advanced Scripts.
Examples; apply individually as needed:
define( 'ASQN_VIEW_CAPABILITY', 'activate_plugins' );
define( 'ASQN_ENABLED_USERS', [ 1, 500 ] );
define( 'ASQN_NAME_IN_ADMINBAR', 'Scripts' );
define( 'ASQN_COUNTER', 'yes' );
define( 'ASQN_ICON', 'remix' );
define( 'ASQN_DISABLE_LIBRARY', 'yes' );
define( 'ASQN_DISABLE_FOOTER', 'yes' );
define( 'ASQN_EXPERT_MODE', false );
define( 'ASQN_MENU_LIMIT', 40 );
ASQN_ICON accepts blue or remix; without a constant the QuickNav symbol is used. ASQN_DISABLE_LIBRARY controls resource links only. deckerweb Library has its own settings.
FAQ
Who is QuickNav for?
Administrators who frequently use Advanced Scripts and want direct access from the backend and frontend toolbar.
Where do I select favorites?
Open Settings → Advanced Scripts QuickNav. See clickable favorite cards and snippet statistics, filter by title or folder, select scripts and save your preferences.
What does Disabled by folder mean?
The script has at least one inactive ancestor folder. Advanced Scripts skips that branch even if the script itself is active.
Does Active mean currently running?
No. It is the saved script flag. Folder status, execution location, conditions, hooks and PHP Safe Mode can affect execution.
How does Safe Mode detection work?
A defined AS_SAFE_MODE takes precedence, including false. Otherwise QuickNav reads the advanced-scripts-safemode option. It does not change Safe Mode.
How do updates work?
The plugin integrates deckerweb GitHub Updater V2 with the regular WordPress update system. It checks public stable GitHub releases and provides the matching plugin ZIP. It does not enable automatic updates.
