Development Notes

File Loading System

As of version 1.0.8, the plugin uses manual file loading for better security and performance:

require_once RBUI_PATH . '/functions/rbui-admin-menu.php';
require_once RBUI_PATH . '/functions/rbui-functions.php'; 
require_once RBUI_PATH . '/functions/rbui-shortcode.php';
require_once RBUI_PATH . '/functions/class-rbui-widget.php';

Benefits of manual loading:

• Better security (only intended files are loaded)
• No open_basedir restriction issues
• Improved performance (no directory scanning)
• Easier debugging and maintenance
• More predictable behavior

Adding new functionality files: When adding new PHP files to the functions/ directory, you must manually add a require_once statement to the main plugin file.
