One problem with them is they often include their own styles and scripts. The problem here is that several plugins with useful features mean a browser needs to download 10+ javascripts and stylesheets. This isn't good for page load. It's awful. See: http://www.die.net/musings/page_load_time/ My suggestion would be an API that allows all plugin/css to be included in 1 PHP generated CSS and Javascript. This would drastically consolidate requests. For performance reasons it should ideally be cached so that it's only regenerated when a plugin is loaded/reloaded. This is becoming a bigger issue as plugins become more common and useful. I hope a solution is found that gives plugin authors the freedom they need, and blog owners the performance they want, without having to sacrifice features. I think channeling all the requests into 1 JS and 1 CSS file would achieve that.

I'm fully supportive of this feature — I think it's important to ensure the HTML that is output to browsers is valid. There have been a few situations where users needed to turn this off, e.g. bugs in the function, or a plugin misbehaves with it on (if I remember correctly, runPHP). However, this is a KDE-style option where it is put there for a niche case. In 99% of cases, you will want it on. A few people on the mailing lists have stated a number of times that we should take a GNOME-like approach to these sort of features, and let them be controlled only by plugins. This option is left over from the dark ages of !WordPress, and I don't think the cases for turning it off are big enough to warrant its inclusion in the user interface. If a plugin has a problem with balancing tags (e.g. runPHP), the offending plugin can simply remove the filter. {{{ remove_filter('content_save_pre', 'balance_tags); }}} (...or whatever the code would be.) The new canonical redirect feature has far more many problems, and far more justification for it to be turned off, yet I don't see a checkbox ""Redirect links to their canonical URL"" anywhere in the user interface.

In detail: I had HTML code very similar to this: <ul> <li>text<ul> <li>subtext</li> </ul>more text</li> </ul> This was automatically converted to: <ul> <li>text<ul> <li>subtext</li> </ul><p>more text</li> </ul> Note the extra `<p>` tag in the above, which is unclosed (making the W3C validator choke on my website). Also note, I was not using the WYSIWYG editor (turning it off was the first thing I did), so it's unlikely to be due to that. As a workaround, manually inserting properly closed `<p>` tags works just fine: <ul> <li>text<ul> <li>subtext</li> </ul><p>more text</p></li> </ul> Since this workaround exists, the bug is not very prioritary, but it should also (hopefully) be easy to fix."

They turn up in the editor too, which reinforces the problem. I've adapted one of the filter functions to strip superfluous newlines, and changed my RSS importer to use it.

There's some code in get_the_content that fixes this for --more-- tags, but it doesn't handle --nextpage--, and it'd be more efficient to do it at post save time. The enclosed patch fixes this by splitting the content into slices at those boundaries and separately balancing each slice. Balancing happens in the content_save_pre action.

It then updates this data over and over throughout the import. If MySQL logging (binary or query) is enabled, this can result in a large amount of data being written to disk, potentially filling up the partition rather quickly. On WordPress.com, I have seen an import write 100MB of binary logs every 2 min. Andy's suggestion is that we split up the data from the import rather than store it in one option. This would allow us to manipulate it more granularly and prevent the huge updates from happening. barry 6379 Image Insert section is confusing, not properly separated from Image Editing markjaquith* Upload 2.5 normal normal Future Release enhancement accepted 2008-03-25T06:29:59Z 2010-10-28T08:21:47Z "This whole section: [[Image(http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/7967/picture1td7.png)]] ... is related to inserting that individual photo into the post, but it is slammed together with photo settings that you can change and save.

While we currently have pretty good support for RTL languages, there is no support for RTL in feeds - all is left up up to the feed reader. I suggest adding a mechanism to automatically insert these tags/characters for blogs that have text_direction set to RTL - much in the same way RTL css style sheets are loaded for these blogs. I have attached a patch that modifies the feed templates to insert these tags/characters. Note that there is no checking of blog directionality here - this is just an example of how to enforce RTL in feeds, not how to enforce it conditionally. This relate to a previous ticket I submitted (#5517), regarding adding an option to set the feed language - which currently just defaults to EN. Certain feed readers know to display RTL text in proper directionality according to feed language (for e.g., feeds that have their feed language set to HE (Hebrew), will get displayed from Right to Left). While setting feed language is not a comprehensive solution, it is a step in the right direction."

In WordPress 2.5, thumbnail files are automatically created. The xmlrpc API should provide a way to get the URLs of the thumbnail files, preferably in the returned hash from the wp.uploadFile call. That is, wp.uploadFile currently returns url = ""http://myhost/wp/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/myImage.jpg"". In addition, it should return ""thumbnailSmallUrl = ..."" and ""thumbnailMediumUrl = ..."". (I'm not sure if this would break MetaWeblog compatibility.) Background: WordPress 2.5 now automatically creates thumbnail images for uploaded image files according to the (maximum) sizes specified in the Miscellaneous settings page. When resizing, the aspect ratio is maintained, and the filenames are named for the exact size of the image. For example, if I upload: dsc-0151.jpg Using the default thumbnail settings of 150x150 and 300x300, these files will be created: dsc-0151-300x199.jpg dsc-0151-150x150.jpg Note that the first filename for the medium thumbnail is called ""300x199"" not ""300x300"". It's thus difficult to guess the new thumbnail filename for the default settings. Since these settings are user configurable, it's currently impossible for an xmlrpc client to guess the URLs of the thumbnails.

I'd like to add a {{{comment_read}}} column to the comments table. It would be either ""1"" or ""0"". There would be a new sub-tab for Comments: ""Unread comments (%d)"" This page would be just like the Moderation page, except that it would only show comments with {{{comment_read = 0}}}. This could act as ""comment workflow central"" for both people who pre-moderate and people who post-moderate. Unapproved comments would have the actions: Approve, Spam and Delete.

That javascript just won't let you manually edit the field. I propose that the javascript on this section be changed to allow manual editing of that field, and to make the checkbox/radio sections just add/remove the relevant bits from the field when they are selected/deselected. Result should allow user to manually insert stuff into the rel field and leave those manual insertions unaltered when changing the radio/checkboxes, unless they conflict with the selections being made directly. Also, side note, would be nice to add a nofollow checkbox to this section as well, to allow easy addition of nofollow to the rel field, which would be handy for the somewhat over-controlling SEO oriented people. ;) " Otto42 7491 thumbnail creation fails silently Upload normal normal Future Release enhancement new 2008-08-09T19:16:19Z 2010-03-06T16:13:08Z "When thumbnail creation fails, it fails silently, with no indication why it fails.

With a little luck, my current code should work fine once that server starts functioning again, but for the time being I would highly recommend not committing this into core. Instead, I'm hoping people can look over the code and offer suggestions for improvement, test results, etc. While the Summer of Code is officially over today, I will be working on this until the job is done. Alright, now to what this is. As some of you may know, I've been working on an Atom Publishing Protocol ([http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5023.txt RFC 5023]) based importer this summer for the Google Summer of Code. The diff attached is the latest version of my work. The advantages of using the Atom Publishing Protocol are as follows: * Nothing has to be done in the old blogging software to prepare for import (no export files, etc). Users just enter their blog URL, username, and password and the importer grabs all of the data using AtomPub. * More data is imported compared to the old importers, especially with TypePad. Post slugs, comments, trackbacks, tags, categories, excerpts, etc are all imported. Everything used for posts in MT/TypePad is imported using AtomPub. * The Atom Publishing Protocol is an established standard. With the exceptions of tag additions (which don't necessarily need updates), the importer should not have to be changed and should continue working well into the future. I should mention there is one drawback to using the Atom Publishing Protocol. For the time being, it appears pages can not be retrieved using AtomPub. They were retrievable a few weeks ago, and I'm currently talking with Six Apart to see what happened. I would greatly appreciate any and all feedback.

This was very useful for quickly sorting posts and is absolutely necessary when you have editor users without the 'edit_users' capability, as unlike admin users (most of us) they don't have access to the 'users' tab and thus have no way to see the manage screen sorted by user. The manage screen sorts by user simply by adding ?&author=$id in the url, but for users without access to the 'users' tab, even author id's are innaccessible. In the #wordpress-dev irc channel ryan boren expressed that the filter was removed because in some cases there were too many users in the system and the resulting dropdown was slowing down pageload time and ruining user experience. This is a paradox, because the more users your system has the more likely you are to need this filter. Wordpress needs to support filtering by author somehow if it wants to be a serious multi-user platform. Our editors are pulling out their hair. My personal opinion is that the dropdown select should be reinstated. Filters should be added to the list such that only users who can post are listed (other users have no use in the Manage > Posts screen), as well as to show only users with at least 1 post. This should avoid slowing down pages for installations where most users are 'subscribers', which would otherwise mean all open-registration blogs would have hugely long lists. Given those two filters, I think that anyone who still has load-time problems should deal with their problem themselves using a plugin. It should be easy to remove the filter dropdown if you don't want it using a plugin, as well as to further filter the authors shown to reduce their number. Any installation with that many users deserves the option of deciding if they want the pulldown or not, and I think many would choose to keep it even if there are problems because it is so incredibly useful in filtering through hundreds of users worth of posts. (Consider: the full categories list is shown, even if there are hundreds, despite the fact that this has the same effect on performance as many authors does). Also in IRC Matt M proposed that some kind of text box + ajax to predict which author you mean could be used for this purpose. I think that is a great idea but would take a lot more work than what I propose (the work for hte pulldown is already done and the old functions are still there, all that's needed is to add filtering and re-work it into edit.php). It could also be used in the 'Users' context for search though, so it could be worth the effort.

This has the effect that if a client redundantly re-specifies the enclosure value, WordPress will redundantly add new enclosure custom field entries, each time the post is edited. The code that accepts <enclosure> elements should only add a new custom field to the post if the enclosure specified is different from the previous enclosure(s). Arguably, for an XMLRPC context, the specified enclosure should always replace the (presumed singular) enclosure on the post. Right now, the number of redundant enclosure attributes can spiral out of control depending on the number of times a given post is edited by a remote client that re-specifies all the known attributes of a post. Consider for example, that when resubmitting a post, it's natural and expected to re-specifiy the <title> even if it hasn't changed.

Menu creation assumes that only some top level pages will need to be used, thus the need for 'include', but wp_list_pages assumes that if you're including only a subset of pages, you're not including the subpages as well.

Specifically, during redirects, any port information provided by the client is dropped. If I go to http://example.com:80/, I get redirected to http://example.com/. If I go to https://example.com:443/, I get redirected to https://example.com/. Thus far, no problem has occurred because we are on on server that uses default ports. However, lets say my web server is running http on 8080 and https on 8443. Now when I go to http://example.com:8080/ and get redirected to http://example.com/, it fails. As a workaround, you can change the following settings: WordPress address: http://example.com:8080/ Blog address: http://example.com:8080/ While this clears up the problem for http requests, you will not be able to use https becuse and attempt to go to https://example.com:8443/ now redirects to https://example.com:8080/ and it fails because the server does not speak ssl on 8080. Additionally, when you have an https proxy in front of your web server such as pound (with http on port 80 and https on port 8443), you run into another problem caused by this same bug. In this situation if you attempt to go to https://example.com/, the proxy server accepts the request and then on the back end makes a none ssl connection to apache. Good so far, but in order to not make any assumptions, the proxy server tells apache that the request was for 'https://example.com:443/' and apache sets HTTP_HOST (very appropriately) to example.com:443. WordPress sees this request and redirects it to 'https://example.com/' by responding to the web browser with a 'Location:' header. Thus the browser sends another request for 'https://example.com/' and starts the whole process over again resulting in an infinite redirect.

When uploading such an image using the ""Add an Image"" panel the the Flash uploader will stop with the upload progress bar at 100% and displaying ""Crunching…"". The Browser uploader will return a blank ""Add an Image"" panel display. In both cases the images are uploaded to the appropriate directory on the server and appear when the post's media gallery is refreshed. Thumbnail images are not generated for these uploads. It appears the failure is before or during thumbnail generation. Note: The maximum image dimension allowed for upload is not the same as the Administration > Setting > Media > Large Size: Max Width and Max Height settings. In my case these settings are both set at 1024 pixels (above the size of the image I am working with). It appears this control panel setting only impacts the HTML image tag attributes for posts, so as not to break the visual design with images that are wider than a layout allows. Now you may ask what is the default maximum dimension for uploaded images. Unfortunately I cannot find my notes on where exactly the setting is in the WordPress code (it has no Web GUI access that I am aware of). I had changed this setting once to work around this problem and hoped 2.7 would have fixed the issue. It is a pain to track down as the location of this setting has changed over time as it moved to different files and functions with each new version of WordPress. My understanding is that this maximum image dimension setting was set to prevent images over 3 megapixels from being uploaded since those are really big and readers shouldn't have to deal with such images. This is old thinking from before broadband and photo blogs took off.

In some places, like edit-user.php, where more functionality is needed there are functions like get_user_to_edit() that make use of the $WP_User object. I think that WP should clearly move towards always using the modeled object version rather than the straight db version in all places, and encourage plugin authors to do the same. Luckily the $WP_User wrapper uses get_userinfo to fetch its data and rewrites all the elements into its first level, so effectively the resulting object from $WP_User has all the same data as get_userinfo() and thus deprecates perfectly in all situations. My proposal would be to create a new wrapper function to be used instead of get_userinfo(): {{{ get_user($id, $name = '') }}} This would just initiate the object and return it, similar to get_post. It's also fits much better in the overall naming conventions of wp with friends like get_term. If possible, it might also be good to move the actual database sql from the get_userdata() function into the $WP_User object definition somewhere, that way its all in one place. Looking at it now it also seems like the whole _fill_user() function thing could be done more elegantly to explain itself and the cache better. [problem: pluggable.php has get_userdata(), which complicates things] Finally, since get_userdata() currently calls _fill_user() every time then fetches all meta_value/key's for the user, wouldn't it be faster to make just one db call that fetches the row from wp_users AND the values from the usermeta table? If you are checking 30 users on your page for some reason (say, a twitter style list of your authors in the sidebar) that would save 30 database connections, which makes a difference no matter what! [probably should be in another ticket, but it would also be great to have access to a global function get_users() that fetched a set of users (say, active ones or a specific role) all at once based on criteria like get_terms() or get_posts(), it would save time if you are getting many users and if it added them all to the cache after fetching it would probably be a lot faster than checking each user individually] I'm very interested in feedback.

My ''home'' variable is of course set to http://mydomain.at/ (''siteurl'' is set to http://myuni.ac.at/mydir/wordpress/ -- otherwise I wouldn't be able to login to WP). Unfortunately, when analyzing REQUEST_URI, wordpress chops off the ''home'' path, not the ''siteurl'' one. This may be okay for some purposes, but in the inverse proxy case, permalinks break.

Now you are at the coffee shop and what a quick change, so you login to WP admin and theme editor edit CSS. Now you get home and download in ftp to continue your work on CSS. The file is now mac formatted (or thinks it is) so when you edit the line endings do not contain the right line breaks for windows OR WP theme editor as it ignores them. This explains the wierd spacing though not the double spacing .... why is it converting to mac and yet ignores mac?! weird.. it adds a CR tag must be bug again though its still double spacing on edit IN windows line ending though if you down load cSS its tagged mac format... Use notepad 2 or Note pad plus to see the error. When ever you edit with !WordPress editor it adds cr and says css is now mac formatted. FTP download the file and now see all the extra CR's it adds. So it likes CR only so I convert to CR only and it beaks CSS it wants CR LF to work but if that is the case why does the online editor add CR only?????????????????????????

What it actually does is it pulls up ALL of the post data. This works fine for low number of pages, but on a larger data set this causes a chokepoint. After all, the end result is just supposed to be a dropdown with a list of pages. '''Workaround to improve performance:''' - comment out line 273 in wp-admin\edit-page-form.php and skip displaying the page parent in the edit screen '''The bigger picture:''' Well, the ENTIRE list of pages is queried in this 'edit page' screen (see screenshot # 2 - with a dropdown that contains 5,000+ entries.)

I think this is a mistake - the return value of getmyuid() is the owner of the current _file_ that's being run, not the current process - so if the file is owned by a user other than that of the web server's UID, it thinks it can't install directly (even if it actually can, because the directories are group writable). This can be worked around by simply changing the owner of the file to another user, although this isn't always going to be possible for the person running Wordpress. To fix this, change the function call to check the return value of posix_getuid() instead of getmyuid().

Unfortunately this PHP function is not able to handle separators (both decimal and thousands separators) that fall into one of the following categories: - separator would contain more than one char, e.g. "" ""; in this case only the first char from the supplied string is used, in the example given above it would be ""&"". - separator is ASCII > 128, e.g. ASCII 160; Impact: Although this is not a native bug to WordPress, the problem source is in PHP, the impact is caused also in WordPress. This situation is problematic for users in Eastern Europe (Czech Republic, Russia, etc.) where the standard thousands separator is "" "" (space). The users in these countries usually don't want to use real space (ASCII 32) as thousands separator, as it could be word wrapped and the number would be saparated into two lines. Unfortunatelly supplying both variants of non-breakable space (i.e. "" "" or ASCII 160) fails. Proposed solution: unforunatelly this bug is reported in PHP for years and nothing happens there. Because of this situation I suggest fixing such problem in the next level, i.e. in WordPress. This means to create a custom function for formatting numbers, with identical input params as number_format(), just that this one would be able to handle separator types mentioned above.

I've tested this patch (with WordPress MU) and it removes 3 queries on all pages when the 'NO_QUERY' constant is defined. A very quick scan of page load times also suggests about 20% in time savings on average. Other plugins like shopping carts and any others that needn't query the WordPress posts table can benefit from this as well. My previous means of achieving this effect was to simply return null to the 'posts_request' filter, which removes only 2 queries per page. The devised method uses suggestions from azaozz and sivel, and allows for setting the definition of 'NO_QUERY' using the 'init' action hook. It also still allows for further querying of the posts at a later point if necessary.

Just accept it as an oddity of WordPress sidebar register and display. It does ""just work"" if you never use your own sidebar IDs. I started looking at this because I wanted to use is_active_sidebar() which tests to see if a dynamic_sidebar() has anything in it. There is no get_dynamic_sidebar(). dynamic_sidebar() sends everything to the browser or returns false. {{{ register_sidebar( array('name' => 'Top') ); // id defaults to ""sidebar-1"" ... if ( is_active_sidebar('Top') ) dynamic_sidebar('Top'); }}} Which fails because is_active_sidebar() just completely skips over searching for an id to go with a name. To get it to work you need to know when it was registered. Not something theme authors and designers are going to follow easily. There's a ticket to fix this: [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10440 #10440] {{{ if ( is_active_sidebar(1) ) dynamic_sidebar('Top'); }}} Like dynamic_sidebar(), is_active_sidebar() converts 1 to ""sidebar-1"". Unlike dynamic_sidebar() it assumes everything is entered as an id. unregister_sidebar() assumes its parameter (incorrectly named $name, not $id) is an id. But it wants a literal id, like ""sidebar-1"". unregister_sidebar(1) unregisters a sidebar with an id of 1, while dynamic_sidebar(1) tries to display a sidebar with an id of ""sidebar-1"". === Widgets (Admin Page) === The dynamic_sidebar() function is used by the Widgets management page. So, it is possible to create a sidebar with register_sidebar() that dynamic_sidebar() cannot find. You can populate it with drag and drop [2] and not have it appear on the web site. == After Patch == If committed, this patch would remove the need for tickets [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10440 #10440] and [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10956 #10956]. It changes the current argument behavior of unregister_sidebar(), but doesn't break backward compatibility. It allows is_active_sidebar(), unregister_sidebar() and dynamic_sidebar() all point to the same sidebar. === Before === These all refer to the same sidebar: {{{ is_active_sidebar(1); unregister_sidebar('sidebar-1'); dynamic_sidebar('Sidebar Top'); }}} In an admittedly contrived case, dynamic_sidebar() would silently fail to allow this sidebar to show: {{{ register_sidebar( array('name'=>'Sidebar Top', 'id' => 1) ); }}} === After === These all refer to the same sidebar (the first two would have broken before the patch): {{{ is_active_sidebar('Sidebar Top'); unregister_sidebar('Sidebar Top'); dynamic_sidebar('Sidebar Top'); }}} After the patch this shows fine: {{{ register_sidebar( array('name'=>'Sidebar Top', 'id' => 1) ); }}} After the patch it is possible to force an argument to be only a name or only an id: {{{ is_active_sidebar(array( 'name' => 'Sidebar Top' )); unregister_sidebar(array( 'name' => 'Sidebar Top' )); dynamic_sidebar(array( 'id' => 1 )); }}} === Notes === [1] register_sidebar() allows the user to override the default setting of: 'id' => ""sidebar-$i"", [2] When you refresh the Widgets management page the widgets will disappear from the sidebar. They are still attached to a sidebar, but dynamic_sidebar() cannot see the sidebar."

Return to your blog, leave the search textbox blank and click ""Search"". This _should_ take you to the search results page but takes you to the _Homepage_ instead (http://localhost/?s= in may case). IMHO, a blank search string _should_ take you to the search page and state ""No posts found. Try a different search?"" as it does when you enter an invalid search. At the very least, it should take you to the blog page. The reason it takes you to the homepage is due to how the get_search_form() function in the /wp-includes/general-template.php file creates the Action url for the search form: {{{ $form = '<form role=""search"" method=""get"" id=""searchform"" action=""' . get_option('home') .

My guess is, wherever it is determined what page is displayed, there is a check for something like: {{{ if($_REQUEST['s']!=''){ //if the request var 's' is not blank, this is a search } }}} If that is indeed the case, a simple change of the code to something like this should do the trick: {{{ if(isset($_REQUEST['s'])){ //if the request var 's' isset, this is a search } }}}" jacobfogg 11334 Add caching to get_page_of_comment() Comments 2.9 high major Future Release enhancement new has-patch 2009-12-05T07:33:50Z 2013-02-05T05:10:21Z "Ack. `get_page_of_comment()` lacks caching which means if you call `get_comment_link()` for the same comment ID on the same page multiple times (and outside of the loop), it will query multiple times.

The idea behind a Walker Widget system is that instead of the Widget outputing the data, it send it to a Walker where it assigns the relevant information and the theme's ""Widget Design"" class holds how Widget boxes are created based on the values pushed through the walker. For example in my theme functions.php file: {{{ class Walker_Widget_Rabbit extends Walker_Widget { function start_widget($args, &$output) { // @todo Updated with the correct vars. $output .= do_action('sidebar_before_module', $id); $output .= do_action('sidebar_before_module_' . $id); $output .= sprintf( ""<div id='%s' class='module widget %s'>"", $args['widget_id'], $args['classname'] ); } function title_widget($args, &$output) { $output .= ""<div class='head'><h3>"" . $args['title'] . ""</h3></div>""; /* if ((bool) $this->get_option('scrolling') && $scroll['enabled']) { printf(__(""navi: <a id=\""prev_%s\"">prev</a> / <a id=\""next_%s\"">next</a>""), $scroll['key'], $scroll['key']); } */ } function content_widget($args, &$output) { $output .= ""<div class='wrap'>"" . $this->content_style($args, $args['output']) . ""</div>""; } function content_style($args, $output) { /* * Here I am going to figure out how we are going to wrap most content * and detirme if the information is scrolled information. */ $style = $args['style']; switch ($style) { case 'none': $style = $output; break; default: $style = ""<ul class='dash-strip'>"" . $output . ""</ul>""; } return $style; } function content_scroll($args, $area = 'top') { // @todo <div class=""content-scroll-large""> and <div class=""content-scroll""> } function end_widget($args, &$output) { $output .= ""</div>""; // @todo Updated with the correct vars. $output .= do_action('sidebar_after_module', $id); $output .= do_action('sidebar_after_module_' . $id); } } }}} This also allows users to manipulate the data/design even further once they get it from the widget. I have tested this on the default theme of WordPress with the all 12 of the built in WordPress widgets and they act/look just like if it was hardcoded into the system itself.

'''Using the word ""Selection"" where ""Size"" is what you meant''' to say is confusing. 8. Scale Image is collapsed by default, with no indiciation that it can be expanded except for a slight difference in text color, and the cursor changes on mouse over. This is inconsistent with the Image Crop area, which is '''not collapsible'''. 9. There is '''no way to enter a decimal coefficient''' for the Aspect ratio. Even 1.67:1 doesn't work.

Is its parent directory writable by the server? }}} In each case, the root error is the same, but the second error message points the way to a solution. Even if the user doesn't know herself what that message means, it's a message that provides the necessary information to someone else who does and is trying to help the user. The first message is completely useless, as it states only what we already know: something went wrong. The reason Media > Add new doesn't offer a helpful message is that the error is generated on one page request, and ''then'' the user is redirected to another page. We need a standard, cross-page-load way of conveying messages in admin. I've thought of a few possible ways of doing this: * Define and use a standardized set of error codes and associated error messages. This is similar to what happens currently on many pages: the unhelpful ""Error saving media attachment."" appears when the message argument is set to ""3."" What I'm suggesting would use a common set of message codes across the admin and be much more detailed. So the above situation would instead produce a message like ""Unable to create the uploads directory."" * Save error messages to a cookie. Unlike the previous method, this would allow messages to be made particular to their event. * Have some kind of user messaging stack. New messages would be pushed into a user's stack (stored in usermeta) and popped off after a certain time, or when read, etc. This has the advantage of lasting across sessions and browsers and being usable for other applications, such as PMs between users.

As I checked, `wp_trash_comment()` calls `get_comment()`. The latter function implements simple comments cache using `$GLOBALS['comment']`.

I think it was a good experiment, and in some cases is helpful (like for people who are frequently accessing discussion settings or some such), but overall I think it adds to the problem of having too many menus expanded on a small screen pushing the lower menu items out of reach without scrolling. Mark and I have talked about various options for this, and we both agree that we should remove the save-state feature from the menu. So, the section you're in would stay open and highlighted, and if you opened another menu section to see the subs, if you had another menu open before, it would close. You could only ever have one section open at a time in addition to the one you're currently in. Maybe we could release the original save-state menus controls as a plugin in case there's anyone who prefers it that way. janeforshort 11959 Value Truncation Still Unchecked in registration.php Users normal normal Future Release defect (bug) new 2010-01-20T22:59:50Z 2010-11-13T07:38:28Z Functions such as username_exists() fail to perform sanity checks against the storage schema.

To be able to sort that list by date, rather than just title would be useful, as it sorts by title of the parent page, and finding a 3rd level child can be difficult to say the least. The search feature is lacking but that is for another ticket. Likewise, sorting posts by category, author, etc could be useful. Since the functionality seems to already be there for sorting these type columns, and the code's been moved in already, I'd think it'd be a nominal change.

This lets them run without slowing down the page parsing (normally, all page processing stops while the javascript code is executing). - ""defer"" scripts get deferred from running until page processing is complete. Sorta like jQuery(document).ready() does, except without pre-definitions. Faster, in other words, since it's built into the browser. Correct usage would dictate that ""libraries"" like jQuery and such would get the async attribute, while bits of code that use the current DOM would get deferred. The defer bit is basically optional though, since most all code that exists uses something like jQuery(document).ready() already, when it's necessary, and so there's not a lot of benefit there. The just released Firefox 3.6 supports the async attributes, so you can do testing with these immediately. I've noticed a speedup on the wp-admin side of things by using it, but I have not measured this and cannot be sure I'm not imagining it. Still, it does seem like it makes the page appear faster.

After studying the issue, I have come to the conclusion that the underlying issue is that a shortcode can result in a block-level HTML element or an inline snippet of HTML. Neither wpautop nor shortcode_unautop have the information necessary to know what the intended to be block-level or text-level, which results in <br /> tags to appear in places where they were not intended and causes invalid markup when paragraphs are not closed properly. 1) shorcodes when registered need to state the display type of the html that they return (inline or block). In addition, the javascript version of filters need to be provided with the same data. 2) An alternate mechanism for handling shortcodes prior to wpautop needs to be implemented. To maintain a separation between wpautop and shortcodes, temporarily replacing block-level shortcodes with unique tokens, running wpautop, running wpautop on the content of the shortcode (since this is a separate filter, plugins can disable it on a per shortcode basis), and then replacing the token with shortcodes post-wpautop. As WP and plugin authors use shortcodes more and more, I think this is an issue that should not be left to the wayside. Shortcodes especially tied to tinymce buttons make working with WordPress easier for the average content producer.

This is only my second post here, and my first feature request, so please excuse me if I have duplicated something or my solution is completely unsuitable. I am experimenting with the CMS capabilities of Wordpress, especially the enhanced post_type GUI in the new 3.0 alpha release. While building a sort of Yahoo Answers type platform, I wanted to have 1st level comments as answers to a question (a post), and 2nd level comments as comments on the answer (1st level comments). I wanted to label comments on an answer as ""comments"", but this is not really possible to do, to my knowledge, using ""wp_list_comments"". I created my own function for wp_list_comments so I didn't have to modify Wordpress core, in order to get at the walker class at the bottom of wp_list_comments. I wanted to use start_lvl to add a title for comment level 2. However, start_lvl in ""class Walker_Comment extends Walker"" will only let you change the list type to ""ul"", ""ol"" or ""div"". My idea is to add an argument which would allow you to add a title, along with specifying it's heading (or surrounding tag).

There just isn't a way to show them that fits with the detailed system that exists around logging errors with WP_Error. In both cases having a built-in way to display all messages logged in a WP_Error object would simplify their code and make their use of WP_Error much more logical and less haphazard. == WP_Error is intense == WP_Error objects can have an infinite number of messages logged inside them into $code groups which themselves can even have multiple message values/ {{{ WP_Error::add($code, $message, $data = '') }}} You can then retrieve error messages for a specific code using WP_Error::get_error_messages() == show_message() is weak == In contrast to this useful maleability is the show_message() function used by various updater scripts to access WP_Error messages: {{{ /** * {@internal Missing Short Description}} * * @since unknown * * @param unknown_type $message */ function show_message($message) { if( is_wp_error($message) ){ if( $message->get_error_data() ) $message = $message->get_error_message() . ': ' . $message->get_error_data(); else $message = $message->get_error_message(); } echo ""<p>$message</p>\n""; } }}} Living in misc.php, this is clearly not the most loved function in WordPress, but beyond its lack of documentation and arguments it also actually doesn't make sense when combined with the nature of WP_Error, and I'd argue that it should be a first-class citizen of the WP_Error API. === Deal with the input as WP_Error class by default === For one thing its argument is named $message, which is a misnomer since it also supports complex WP_Error objects. I think it should be called $error and it should attempt to handle the error object in as much detail as possible. If this function is given a string instead of an error_object it should just show the text with the default formatting. === Move it into the class defintion === The function logic should also be moved to be inside WP_Error as ::show_message() as well as maybe adding a ::show_messages() to differentiate between forcing the first message in the object and showing any relevant messages. The original function can be kept as a shell for the class method. === Support $code and $data better === The updated function should allow $code values to be specified to show only messages related to a specific error $code (from WP_Error::add()) as well as some kind of option specifying whether the contents of the $data value for the results should be displayed. === Add support for 'types' of errors for display purposes === To really have valuable visual cues linked with error display the system needs to be adapted to handle error types like 'error', 'updated' and something green like 'success'. Having this be part of hte API would increase the likelihood of people using the system because it will make it easier to quickly add visual errors to a plugin. IMHO the easiest way to achieve this would be to link 'types' with CSS classes expected to exist in wp-admin. 'updated' and 'error' classes already exist, yellow and red respectively, and can be a starting point. This way marking an error as 'error' or 'updated' automatically controls the color it will be when show_messages() is run. This would probably require modifying the WP_Error::wp_error() and WP_Error::add() methods to accept a 4th argument, but would be a great step forward. === Use nice formatting === I think the formatting should be the same as the 'settings updated' message from after you save a settings page. It is malleable and stands out in the admin: {{{ <div class=""updated fade""><p><strong> MESSAGE </strong></p></div> }}} == Lets make showing errors easy == Even though these functionalities aren't needed for the current uses of show_message() in the upgrader process I think they will inform and improve those systems when the changes are taken into account. WP_Error is fairly powerful but not used enough because it is incomplete and awkward. Improving show_message() to fill this hole will mature the API and hopefully get plugin authors using it in more detail. It would definitely make integrating WP_Error into the Settings API much easier. == Thoughts on this before I make a patch? == I'll try to work on this soon but am interested in feedback.

However, browsers typically enforce their own practical limits, the shortest of which is much larger than the 255 character limit that WP is enforcing. Entering urls longer than 255 characters causes them to be truncated. I tried altering the table so that link_url has a datatype of VARCHAR(1024).

We are used to getting properties from these objects, e.g. $post->ID or $comment->comment_ID, but this class has no methods. As used, the stdClass object is only a syntactic alternative to the array. As long as we're already using objects, let's have some more useful classes. I propose post and comment classes that implement common interfaces, and classes that extend these for special post_types and comment_types, and filters to allow plugins to use their own classes at instantiation time. Without actually using PHP5 interface syntax, the idea is to have identical methods to get things from objects in the loop. For example, one common method would be ```url()```. The same method would work on every kind of compatible object, be it a post, page, attachment, comment, trackback, or pingback, although the underlying logic for getting the URL may differ for each. ```<a href=""<?php print esc_attr($post->url()); ?>"">``` It would simplify templates while allowing various object types in loops, not just posts, and give us an opportunity to clean up a lot of the underlying template tag logic (e.g. global $authordata), and give plugins and themes new ways to modify output. This stemmed from my work on search. I wanted a way to keep the template simple while adding support for different object types in the loop.

Symptom: When importing a blog from Movable Type to a blog in WP, you are asked to assign (or map) WP authors to MT authors. But, it turns out that the first author on the list is assigned to all posts. The other authors selected are neglected. Therefore, all of the posts end up belonging to one author. Fix: I found the problem in wp-admin/import/mt.php. Specifically, ""$mtnames"" is not properly populated with authors from MT.

The idea is that in updating the Widget API, like the WP_Widget class, widget areas will have a similar registry structure. In my opinion though, I believe that for backwards compatibility it should be integrated but remain separate from the current API for controlling sidebars, also like the WP_Widget class. In the previous discussion, I said that a possibility could be creating a WP_WidgetArea class, and a WP_WidgetArea_Factory class to register and unregister them. After some thought though, I believe this is pretty much unnecessary. What is a widget? - It is a GUI module with a client-side and administrative view, wrapping how to control, use, and display data. It is a form of MVC, and that's basically it! That being realized, I don't see a problem with adding one more default widget to the core: WP_WidgetArea extends WP_Widget This will allow dynamic generation of widget areas. Implementing how to edit these areas within the current interface is another story, though I have a kind of hacked logic I am unhappy with working in a released plugin of mine. In the future, using widgets for widget areas will eventually depreciate the entire sidebar API. It would only depend on one global area to add and pull widgets from (the theme... cough...).

At first I was thinking you could tell WordPress that you're filtering to a type and it could compensate when determining the page number, but then I realized perhaps it'd just be better for `wp_list_comments()` to check if there were 0 comments returned for the query and if so, see if there are any of that type of comment available. If so, then we know we're on too high of a page number and can instead display the highest existing page. Then again this introduces SEO issues. Ideas on what to do are welcome."

Typically, the requester is looking into doing front-end ajax requests and the like. There are other use cases, such as wanting to catch specific URIs -- e.g. a trailing /print/ to the url, which the permalink API is incapable of catching. They all got rejected on grounds that there is the init hook that can be used just as well for ajax. Or the template_redirect hook in place of an ob_start hook. The list goes on. When you want WP and plugins to be loaded '''and''' fully initialized, instantiated and ready to go, setting a priority to obscene levels on the init hook works (I typically use 1000000)... but it always feels like you're working around a crippled API. Starting output buffers on template_redirect with a priority -1000000 feels equally clunky. Then, there is the front-end ajax. Yes, admin-ajax.php can be used unauthenticated... But the fact of the matter is, you can end up with SSL turned on when it's not useful, and the lack of an wp-ajax.php file makes many a plugin dev wonder where in the bloody hell he should catch his own requests. It would be sweet if this all got fixed in WP 3.0. The argument that goes ""a hook already exists"" seems extremely invalid to me. There are many places in WP where two hooks (and oftentimes many more) can be used to achieve the same result. Think wp_headers and send_headers, for instance. What they have in common is some kind of before/after flow, which init and template_redirect are currently lacking. One could argue that parse_request is nearby init, and that wp is nearby template_redirect, so they'd be good enough. But the first of these parses expensive regular expressions before firing, and both are only known to WP junkies. Suggested hooks for WP 3.0: - a wp-ajax.php file built similarly to admin-ajax.php. - an wp_loaded hook at the very end of wp-settings.php, with a commentary that tells plugin authors that init should be used to instantiate, wp_loaded should be used to act once everything is instantiated, and that wp-ajax.php has hooks that are specific to ajax requests. - an ob_start (or pre_load_template, or whatever...) hook at the very beginning of template-loader.php, with a commentary that tells plugin authors that the new hook should be used to instantiate such as output buffering once WP is fully loaded, while the second is traditionally used to pick an arbitrary template."

I am having problems with uploaded images and am unable to properly troubleshoot because the image upload feature does not display errors. The root problem is that the image upload feature does not display error messages. The symptoms are that thumbnail images are not being generated and my theme (AutoFocus) cannot display EXIF data for images. I have switched to the default theme, disabled plugins and performed other troubleshooting activities (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/164999?replies=1). Scenario: I am uploading a 800x600 143KB color JPEG image. The Flash upload tool shows the status bar going to 100%, Crunching... and then stops once the bar clears itself and the ""Save all changes button"" appears. Nothing else happens. No image thumbnail is displayed, no image information (titles and descriptions) is displayed. When I close out the 'Add an Image' window and reopen it I can see the image in the Gallery but there are no resized images available (thumbnail, medium, large) and the full size dimension is listed as 0x0. When I choose to Edit Image I get the error ""Image data does not exist. Please re-upload the image."" I repeat the upload process using the browser upload method. Once the image is uploaded the 'Add an Image' window is cleared and is left blank. Closing the window and going into the Gallery yields the same results as the Flash method above.

As wordpress grows in popularity and is used on websites that would like to minimize downtime a beta/staging setup in addition to a production or main setup would be ideal. If one tries to do this now, you can attempt to copy the whole database over to the beta or staging setup which will result in links on the beta/staging version going to the production/main url's. This makes it relatively unusable. Ideally there would be some solution where developers can decide for their beta/staging site to download data from their production/main server every day or at will which will allow them to keep things updated and allow for them to test with their most recent content which can be useful. If this synchronization can occur without the previous problems and other problems that occur with simply copying the entire production database that would be wonderful! mnolin 12877 Modular themes: Apply template hierarchy to folders within a theme Themes normal normal Future Release feature request new has-patch 2010-04-06T16:26:15Z 2013-04-11T03:34:53Z "Applying template heirarchy to folders within a theme will allow themes to be broken into modules, allowing theme developers to substantially reduce repeated code.

And when a post is opened for editing in the web editor, the content is passed through filters such as the_editor_content and content_edit_pre. However, when a post is fetched for editing via XMLRPC API calls such as getPost or getRecentPosts, the content_edit_pre filter is never reached. This leads to a situation where whatever massaging of the content that a plugin may peform on the way into the database is not reversed on the way back out, for clients of the API. A concrete example of this problem is with the popular Syntax Highlighter Evolved: http://www.viper007bond.com/wordpress-plugins/syntaxhighlighter/ This plugin performs encoding of the post content before it is stored in the database, and it counts on being able to decode that content by adding filters to hooks such as the_editor_content. However, none of these filters are reached via the API, leading to ""corrupted content"" when users try to edit posts from API clients such as the iPhone WordPress app, or my desktop editor, MarsEdit. (My previous bug report #10802 exhibits the same symptoms of this bug, but this is a different cause). In summary: 1. WordPress needs to establish a clear, baseline hooks for massaging content before it is saved to the database, and for un-massaging the content on the way out of the database. Currently there seems to be uncertainty about which hooks need to be overridden and under what circumstances. It seems to me that content_save_pre and content_edit_pre are probably good candidates for this. 2. Whatever hooks are established as the guarantees need to be applied once and only once in both the web-based editing scenario, and in the API editing scenario. I think that having a well documented pair of hooks for this purpose that works identically in the web editing and API editing cases will do a lot to ensure correct behavior when plugins are installed that massage content, and will make it easy for plugin developers to ""do the right thing"" without relying on hooks that are specific only to the web editor, or to the API.

The JS var gets redeclared by the duplicative script, which gives precedence to the second dropdown. One use case would be a page that lists long archives and shows a jump menu at both the top and bottom of the page. This would have to be done directly in the template due to the widget restrictions at present.

See: http://www.die.net/musings/page_load_time/ My suggestion would be an API that allows all plugin/css to be included in 1 PHP generated CSS and Javascript. This would drastically consolidate requests. For performance reasons it should ideally be cached so that it's only regenerated when a plugin is loaded/reloaded. This is becoming a bigger issue as plugins become more common and useful. I hope a solution is found that gives plugin authors the freedom they need, and blog owners the performance they want, without having to sacrifice features.

Here's my post to the list, explaining what this is: I'm new to WordPress and building a custom template for my new personal site. My design calls for a calendar that stays within a given category, and I couldn't find a way to do that; using ""get_calendar()"" on my category archive page returned a calendar with all posts in it, therefore providing navigation to pages outside the selected category (which didn't work out). I have patches to the get_category, get_month_link, and get_day_link functions that let you have in-category calendars (see attached diffs for wp-includes/general-template.php and wp-includes/link-template.php). You can use the modified calendar on the archive page like so: $cat = array_shift( get_the_category() ); get_calendar( true, $cat->cat_ID ); I'm not sure if that's the canonical way to find the archive page's category id (I kinda doubt it), but it works. I don't have any other contributors to my site planned, but it wouldn't be hard to make the calendar glue itself to the author in the same way...but is there a standard WordPressian way to accomplish this without modifications like these?

There have been a few situations where users needed to turn this off, e.g. bugs in the function, or a plugin misbehaves with it on (if I remember correctly, runPHP). However, this is a KDE-style option where it is put there for a niche case. In 99% of cases, you will want it on. A few people on the mailing lists have stated a number of times that we should take a GNOME-like approach to these sort of features, and let them be controlled only by plugins. This option is left over from the dark ages of !WordPress, and I don't think the cases for turning it off are big enough to warrant its inclusion in the user interface. If a plugin has a problem with balancing tags (e.g. runPHP), the offending plugin can simply remove the filter. {{{ remove_filter('content_save_pre', 'balance_tags); }}} (...or whatever the code would be.)

The enclosed patch fixes this by splitting the content into slices at those boundaries and separately balancing each slice. Balancing happens in the content_save_pre action. No filtering is needed on the output side for posts saved after this filter. It was a bit of a struggle figuring out where to fit this but I think the solution is fairly clean.

It then updates this data over and over throughout the import. If MySQL logging (binary or query) is enabled, this can result in a large amount of data being written to disk, potentially filling up the partition rather quickly. On WordPress.com, I have seen an import write 100MB of binary logs every 2 min. Andy's suggestion is that we split up the data from the import rather than store it in one option. This would allow us to manipulate it more granularly and prevent the huge updates from happening. barry 6379 Image Insert section is confusing, not properly separated from Image Editing markjaquith* Upload 2.5 normal normal Future Release enhancement accepted 2008-03-25T06:29:59Z 2010-10-28T08:21:47Z "This whole section: [[Image(http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/7967/picture1td7.png)]] ... is related to inserting that individual photo into the post, but it is slammed together with photo settings that you can change and save.

While we currently have pretty good support for RTL languages, there is no support for RTL in feeds - all is left up up to the feed reader. I suggest adding a mechanism to automatically insert these tags/characters for blogs that have text_direction set to RTL - much in the same way RTL css style sheets are loaded for these blogs. I have attached a patch that modifies the feed templates to insert these tags/characters. Note that there is no checking of blog directionality here - this is just an example of how to enforce RTL in feeds, not how to enforce it conditionally. This relate to a previous ticket I submitted (#5517), regarding adding an option to set the feed language - which currently just defaults to EN. Certain feed readers know to display RTL text in proper directionality according to feed language (for e.g., feeds that have their feed language set to HE (Hebrew), will get displayed from Right to Left). While setting feed language is not a comprehensive solution, it is a step in the right direction."

In WordPress 2.5, thumbnail files are automatically created. The xmlrpc API should provide a way to get the URLs of the thumbnail files, preferably in the returned hash from the wp.uploadFile call. That is, wp.uploadFile currently returns url = ""http://myhost/wp/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/myImage.jpg"". In addition, it should return ""thumbnailSmallUrl = ..."" and ""thumbnailMediumUrl = ..."". (I'm not sure if this would break MetaWeblog compatibility.) Background: WordPress 2.5 now automatically creates thumbnail images for uploaded image files according to the (maximum) sizes specified in the Miscellaneous settings page. When resizing, the aspect ratio is maintained, and the filenames are named for the exact size of the image. For example, if I upload: dsc-0151.jpg Using the default thumbnail settings of 150x150 and 300x300, these files will be created: dsc-0151-300x199.jpg dsc-0151-150x150.jpg Note that the first filename for the medium thumbnail is called ""300x199"" not ""300x300"". It's thus difficult to guess the new thumbnail filename for the default settings. Since these settings are user configurable, it's currently impossible for an xmlrpc client to guess the URLs of the thumbnails.

With a little luck, my current code should work fine once that server starts functioning again, but for the time being I would highly recommend not committing this into core. Instead, I'm hoping people can look over the code and offer suggestions for improvement, test results, etc. While the Summer of Code is officially over today, I will be working on this until the job is done. Alright, now to what this is. As some of you may know, I've been working on an Atom Publishing Protocol ([http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5023.txt RFC 5023]) based importer this summer for the Google Summer of Code. The diff attached is the latest version of my work. The advantages of using the Atom Publishing Protocol are as follows: * Nothing has to be done in the old blogging software to prepare for import (no export files, etc). Users just enter their blog URL, username, and password and the importer grabs all of the data using AtomPub. * More data is imported compared to the old importers, especially with TypePad. Post slugs, comments, trackbacks, tags, categories, excerpts, etc are all imported. Everything used for posts in MT/TypePad is imported using AtomPub. * The Atom Publishing Protocol is an established standard.

This was very useful for quickly sorting posts and is absolutely necessary when you have editor users without the 'edit_users' capability, as unlike admin users (most of us) they don't have access to the 'users' tab and thus have no way to see the manage screen sorted by user. The manage screen sorts by user simply by adding ?&author=$id in the url, but for users without access to the 'users' tab, even author id's are innaccessible. In the #wordpress-dev irc channel ryan boren expressed that the filter was removed because in some cases there were too many users in the system and the resulting dropdown was slowing down pageload time and ruining user experience. This is a paradox, because the more users your system has the more likely you are to need this filter. Wordpress needs to support filtering by author somehow if it wants to be a serious multi-user platform. Our editors are pulling out their hair. My personal opinion is that the dropdown select should be reinstated. Filters should be added to the list such that only users who can post are listed (other users have no use in the Manage > Posts screen), as well as to show only users with at least 1 post. This should avoid slowing down pages for installations where most users are 'subscribers', which would otherwise mean all open-registration blogs would have hugely long lists. Given those two filters, I think that anyone who still has load-time problems should deal with their problem themselves using a plugin. It should be easy to remove the filter dropdown if you don't want it using a plugin, as well as to further filter the authors shown to reduce their number. Any installation with that many users deserves the option of deciding if they want the pulldown or not, and I think many would choose to keep it even if there are problems because it is so incredibly useful in filtering through hundreds of users worth of posts. (Consider: the full categories list is shown, even if there are hundreds, despite the fact that this has the same effect on performance as many authors does). Also in IRC Matt M proposed that some kind of text box + ajax to predict which author you mean could be used for this purpose. I think that is a great idea but would take a lot more work than what I propose (the work for hte pulldown is already done and the old functions are still there, all that's needed is to add filtering and re-work it into edit.php). It could also be used in the 'Users' context for search though, so it could be worth the effort.

To clean up tagging the ability to merge tags would be a life saver. The functionality I had in mind was being able to select two or more tags in edit-tags.php and select 'Merge' from the 'Actions' dropdown. When you click 'Apply' a lightbox would open with the following: '''What should become the primary tag?'''[[BR]] [Textfield][[BR]] ''The name is how the tag appears on your site.''

This has the effect that if a client redundantly re-specifies the enclosure value, WordPress will redundantly add new enclosure custom field entries, each time the post is edited. The code that accepts <enclosure> elements should only add a new custom field to the post if the enclosure specified is different from the previous enclosure(s). Arguably, for an XMLRPC context, the specified enclosure should always replace the (presumed singular) enclosure on the post. Right now, the number of redundant enclosure attributes can spiral out of control depending on the number of times a given post is edited by a remote client that re-specifies all the known attributes of a post. Consider for example, that when resubmitting a post, it's natural and expected to re-specifiy the <title> even if it hasn't changed. This doesn't cause multiple ""title"" attributes to appear on a post. The re-specification of the <enclosure> value shouldn't cause attribute bloat in posts.

Specifically, during redirects, any port information provided by the client is dropped. If I go to http://example.com:80/, I get redirected to http://example.com/. If I go to https://example.com:443/, I get redirected to https://example.com/. Thus far, no problem has occurred because we are on on server that uses default ports. However, lets say my web server is running http on 8080 and https on 8443. Now when I go to http://example.com:8080/ and get redirected to http://example.com/, it fails. As a workaround, you can change the following settings: WordPress address: http://example.com:8080/ Blog address: http://example.com:8080/ While this clears up the problem for http requests, you will not be able to use https becuse and attempt to go to https://example.com:8443/ now redirects to https://example.com:8080/ and it fails because the server does not speak ssl on 8080. Additionally, when you have an https proxy in front of your web server such as pound (with http on port 80 and https on port 8443), you run into another problem caused by this same bug. In this situation if you attempt to go to https://example.com/, the proxy server accepts the request and then on the back end makes a none ssl connection to apache. Good so far, but in order to not make any assumptions, the proxy server tells apache that the request was for 'https://example.com:443/' and apache sets HTTP_HOST (very appropriately) to example.com:443. WordPress sees this request and redirects it to 'https://example.com/' by responding to the web browser with a 'Location:' header. Thus the browser sends another request for 'https://example.com/' and starts the whole process over again resulting in an infinite redirect. As specifying a port is completely valid, this is a clear case of WordPress not handling things appropriately." revmj 8599 Multiple custom image sizes with retroactive image reprocessing leogermani Media 2.8.4 normal normal Future Release feature request reviewing dev-feedback 2008-12-13T09:16:39Z 2013-03-28T11:17:45Z You should be able to add multiple custom image sizes.

Example: Uploading a JPEG image with a width of 625 pixels and height of 938 pixels. This physical size is greater than the maximum size allowed by the default WordPress configuration. When uploading such an image using the ""Add an Image"" panel the the Flash uploader will stop with the upload progress bar at 100% and displaying ""Crunching…"". The Browser uploader will return a blank ""Add an Image"" panel display. In both cases the images are uploaded to the appropriate directory on the server and appear when the post's media gallery is refreshed. Thumbnail images are not generated for these uploads. It appears the failure is before or during thumbnail generation. Note: The maximum image dimension allowed for upload is not the same as the Administration > Setting > Media > Large Size: Max Width and Max Height settings. In my case these settings are both set at 1024 pixels (above the size of the image I am working with). It appears this control panel setting only impacts the HTML image tag attributes for posts, so as not to break the visual design with images that are wider than a layout allows. Now you may ask what is the default maximum dimension for uploaded images. Unfortunately I cannot find my notes on where exactly the setting is in the WordPress code (it has no Web GUI access that I am aware of). I had changed this setting once to work around this problem and hoped 2.7 would have fixed the issue. It is a pain to track down as the location of this setting has changed over time as it moved to different files and functions with each new version of WordPress. My understanding is that this maximum image dimension setting was set to prevent images over 3 megapixels from being uploaded since those are really big and readers shouldn't have to deal with such images. This is old thinking from before broadband and photo blogs took off.

This works okay for most cases but fails to take advantage of the new $WP_User object type. Using the objects makes the user information much more powerful because you can immediately call methods like $user->has_cap('edit_posts') without messing around. It also just makes sense, and not using the pretty object is silly. In some places, like edit-user.php, where more functionality is needed there are functions like get_user_to_edit() that make use of the $WP_User object. I think that WP should clearly move towards always using the modeled object version rather than the straight db version in all places, and encourage plugin authors to do the same. Luckily the $WP_User wrapper uses get_userinfo to fetch its data and rewrites all the elements into its first level, so effectively the resulting object from $WP_User has all the same data as get_userinfo() and thus deprecates perfectly in all situations. My proposal would be to create a new wrapper function to be used instead of get_userinfo(): {{{ get_user($id, $name = '') }}} This would just initiate the object and return it, similar to get_post. It's also fits much better in the overall naming conventions of wp with friends like get_term. If possible, it might also be good to move the actual database sql from the get_userdata() function into the $WP_User object definition somewhere, that way its all in one place. Looking at it now it also seems like the whole _fill_user() function thing could be done more elegantly to explain itself and the cache better. [problem: pluggable.php has get_userdata(), which complicates things] Finally, since get_userdata() currently calls _fill_user() every time then fetches all meta_value/key's for the user, wouldn't it be faster to make just one db call that fetches the row from wp_users AND the values from the usermeta table? If you are checking 30 users on your page for some reason (say, a twitter style list of your authors in the sidebar) that would save 30 database connections, which makes a difference no matter what! [probably should be in another ticket, but it would also be great to have access to a global function get_users() that fetched a set of users (say, active ones or a specific role) all at once based on criteria like get_terms() or get_posts(), it would save time if you are getting many users and if it added them all to the cache after fetching it would probably be a lot faster than checking each user individually] I'm very interested in feedback.

There are certain classes of pages I want to exclude, and hard-coding the page IDs into my menu code just isn't a good way to do it. Excluding by page slug works beautifully.

It is a very short addition to wp-includes/post.php (one new line and two altered lines), has been well used on my (now live) site, and adds a very useful feature.

For example: $subPages = get_pages('hierarchical=0&exclude=sidebar&parent='.$page->ID); will get subpages of $page that don't have the ""sidebar"" slug.

But guideline 6.3 states ""Ensure that pages are usable when scripts, applets, or other programmatic objects are turned off or not supported. If this is not possible, provide equivalent information on an alternative accessible page."" This means that you should be able to do all functions in the WP back end with JavaScript disabled.

It may only do this when it wraps window but I think not it appears to add blank lines. Imagine the damage to a 1000 line CSS it spaces every entry by 1 line!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It stiil works but it messes it up. THAT IS COFIRMED ONE EDIT DOUBLE SPACE ENTIRE CSS... VERY BAD Here is part of the problem but not the double space in total. When you down load the file in FTP and it is in windows encoding the line endings. So you ftp back and all is fine. Now you are at the coffee shop and what a quick change, so you login to WP admin and theme editor edit CSS. Now you get home and download in ftp to continue your work on CSS. The file is now mac formatted (or thinks it is) so when you edit the line endings do not contain the right line breaks for windows OR WP theme editor as it ignores them. This explains the wierd spacing though not the double spacing .... why is it converting to mac and yet ignores mac?! weird.. it adds a CR tag must be bug again though its still double spacing on edit IN windows line ending though if you down load cSS its tagged mac format... Use notepad 2 or Note pad plus to see the error. When ever you edit with !WordPress editor it adds cr and says css is now mac formatted. FTP download the file and now see all the extra CR's it adds. So it likes CR only so I convert to CR only and it beaks CSS it wants CR LF to work but if that is the case why does the online editor add CR only?????????????????????????

As part of the function, in a particular case it writes a temporary file and compares it to the return value of getmyuid(). I think this is a mistake - the return value of getmyuid() is the owner of the current _file_ that's being run, not the current process - so if the file is owned by a user other than that of the web server's UID, it thinks it can't install directly (even if it actually can, because the directories are group writable). This can be worked around by simply changing the owner of the file to another user, although this isn't always going to be possible for the person running Wordpress. To fix this, change the function call to check the return value of posix_getuid() instead of getmyuid().

Unfortunately this PHP function is not able to handle separators (both decimal and thousands separators) that fall into one of the following categories: - separator would contain more than one char, e.g. "" ""; in this case only the first char from the supplied string is used, in the example given above it would be ""&"". - separator is ASCII > 128, e.g. ASCII 160; Impact: Although this is not a native bug to WordPress, the problem source is in PHP, the impact is caused also in WordPress. This situation is problematic for users in Eastern Europe (Czech Republic, Russia, etc.) where the standard thousands separator is "" "" (space). The users in these countries usually don't want to use real space (ASCII 32) as thousands separator, as it could be word wrapped and the number would be saparated into two lines. Unfortunatelly supplying both variants of non-breakable space (i.e. "" "" or ASCII 160) fails. Proposed solution: unforunatelly this bug is reported in PHP for years and nothing happens there. Because of this situation I suggest fixing such problem in the next level, i.e. in WordPress.

It annoys the blog owner whose blog the WordPress is trying to send the trackback to.

Especially when looking at the merge with WPMU this is going to become a problem because WPMU uses '''multiple rules'''. Every rule has to have a unique name and functions like `iis7_rewrite_rule_exists()` and `iis7_delete_rewrite_rule()` only look for one rule with name ""wordpress"".

Now I understand that not many will open up xmlrpc logging on production blogs, could it be possible that WP just strikes out the password before logging it to the file as it is always the third param so easy to do that, this is because people who might have xmlrpc logging enabled may not change the default log filename and location so anyone can simply run a robot to check for http://blogurl.com/xmlrpc.log and farm passwords (now this may not affect blogs that have WP installed in root since it writes to ../xmlrpc.log, so essentially outside the www access dir, but blogs with WP installed in sub directories will be affected). Don't know how critical this is as users have to manually edit the file to enable xmlrpc logging so it might be a non critical bug." keithdsouza 10702 Support for complex nested shorttags Shortcodes 2.9 normal normal Future Release enhancement new has-patch 2009-08-30T11:47:41Z 2012-11-06T05:59:48Z "The documentations is misleading on this point. It is said that you can have nested shorttags by calling do_shorttag on the content. However the shorttag parser isn't really a parser, it's just a non-greedy regex of some sort. It does work for simple tags without content, but when we define a [div] tag, look at the following code: {{{ [div] [div] test1 [/div] [div] test2 [/div] [/div] }}} Results is: {{{ <div> <div>(tag without content) test1 </div> <div> test2 [/div](not parsed at all) </div> }}} I think that if you want to stop people from writing their own parsers you should include some decent parser with Wordpress, not a regex I could do myself.

For example, register_sidebar() allows me to name a side bar ""1"" with a id of ""first"". I don't know why anyone would choose those values, but register_sidebar() allows it [1]. {{{ register_sidebar( array('name' => 1, id => 'first') ); }}} dynamic_sidebar() will not be able to find the sidebar given its name (1). {{{ if ( is_int($index) ) { $index = ""sidebar-$index""; /// 1 becomes 'sidebar-1' ... }}} The main problem is that dynamic_sidebar() is trying to process both IDs and names through the same variable ($index) while register_sidebar() separates the two with an array ( array('name' => 'Top', 'id' => 'sidebar-1' ). According to the in-line docs for dynamic_sidebar(): It is confusing for the $index parameter, but just know that it should just work. When you register the sidebar in the theme, you will use the same name for this function or ""Pay no heed to the man behind the curtain."" Just accept it as an oddity of WordPress sidebar register and display. It does ""just work"" if you never use your own sidebar IDs. I started looking at this because I wanted to use is_active_sidebar() which tests to see if a dynamic_sidebar() has anything in it. There is no get_dynamic_sidebar(). dynamic_sidebar() sends everything to the browser or returns false. {{{ register_sidebar( array('name' => 'Top') ); // id defaults to ""sidebar-1"" ... if ( is_active_sidebar('Top') ) dynamic_sidebar('Top'); }}} Which fails because is_active_sidebar() just completely skips over searching for an id to go with a name. To get it to work you need to know when it was registered. Not something theme authors and designers are going to follow easily. There's a ticket to fix this: [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10440 #10440] {{{ if ( is_active_sidebar(1) ) dynamic_sidebar('Top'); }}} Like dynamic_sidebar(), is_active_sidebar() converts 1 to ""sidebar-1"". Unlike dynamic_sidebar() it assumes everything is entered as an id. unregister_sidebar() assumes its parameter (incorrectly named $name, not $id) is an id. But it wants a literal id, like ""sidebar-1"". unregister_sidebar(1) unregisters a sidebar with an id of 1, while dynamic_sidebar(1) tries to display a sidebar with an id of ""sidebar-1"". === Widgets (Admin Page) === The dynamic_sidebar() function is used by the Widgets management page. So, it is possible to create a sidebar with register_sidebar() that dynamic_sidebar() cannot find. You can populate it with drag and drop [2] and not have it appear on the web site. == After Patch == If committed, this patch would remove the need for tickets [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10440 #10440] and [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10956 #10956]. It changes the current argument behavior of unregister_sidebar(), but doesn't break backward compatibility. It allows is_active_sidebar(), unregister_sidebar() and dynamic_sidebar() all point to the same sidebar. === Before === These all refer to the same sidebar: {{{ is_active_sidebar(1); unregister_sidebar('sidebar-1'); dynamic_sidebar('Sidebar Top'); }}} In an admittedly contrived case, dynamic_sidebar() would silently fail to allow this sidebar to show: {{{ register_sidebar( array('name'=>'Sidebar Top', 'id' => 1) ); }}} === After === These all refer to the same sidebar (the first two would have broken before the patch): {{{ is_active_sidebar('Sidebar Top'); unregister_sidebar('Sidebar Top'); dynamic_sidebar('Sidebar Top'); }}} After the patch this shows fine: {{{ register_sidebar( array('name'=>'Sidebar Top', 'id' => 1) ); }}} After the patch it is possible to force an argument to be only a name or only an id: {{{ is_active_sidebar(array( 'name' => 'Sidebar Top' )); unregister_sidebar(array( 'name' => 'Sidebar Top' )); dynamic_sidebar(array( 'id' => 1 )); }}} === Notes === [1] register_sidebar() allows the user to override the default setting of: 'id' => ""sidebar-$i"", [2] When you refresh the Widgets management page the widgets will disappear from the sidebar.

Visit your blog (http://localhost/ in my case) and you will see your static page. 3. Navigate to your blog (http://localhost/blog/ in my case). 4. Enter a search string (e.g. ""test"") and click ""Search"". This will take you to the search results page (http://localhost/?s=test in my case). Notice that it is located at the base of your site. 5. Return to your blog, leave the search textbox blank and click ""Search"". This _should_ take you to the search results page but takes you to the _Homepage_ instead (http://localhost/?s= in may case). IMHO, a blank search string _should_ take you to the search page and state ""No posts found. Try a different search?"" as it does when you enter an invalid search. At the very least, it should take you to the blog page. The reason it takes you to the homepage is due to how the get_search_form() function in the /wp-includes/general-template.php file creates the Action url for the search form: {{{ $form = '<form role=""search"" method=""get"" id=""searchform"" action=""' . get_option('home') . '"" >' }}} I propose a change in the code that will do the following: {{{ if(get_option('show_on_front') == 'page'){//if the blog is not the front page $searchAction = get_page_link(get_option('page_for_posts'));//get the link to the blog }else{//if it is the front page $searchAction = get_option('home').""/"";//get the link to the home } $form = '<form role=""search"" method=""get"" id=""searchform"" action=""' . $searchAction . '"" > }}} That way, at the very least, you know the search is landing where it belongs. This, however, does not _fix_ the issue where a blank search does not land you on the search page. My guess is, wherever it is determined what page is displayed, there is a check for something like: {{{ if($_REQUEST['s']!=''){ //if the request var 's' is not blank, this is a search } }}} If that is indeed the case, a simple change of the code to something like this should do the trick: {{{ if(isset($_REQUEST['s'])){ //if the request var 's' isset, this is a search } }}}" jacobfogg 11334 Add caching to get_page_of_comment() Comments 2.9 high major Future Release enhancement new has-patch 2009-12-05T07:33:50Z 2013-02-05T05:10:21Z "Ack. `get_page_of_comment()` lacks caching which means if you call `get_comment_link()` for the same comment ID on the same page multiple times (and outside of the loop), it will query multiple times.

The idea behind a Walker Widget system is that instead of the Widget outputing the data, it send it to a Walker where it assigns the relevant information and the theme's ""Widget Design"" class holds how Widget boxes are created based on the values pushed through the walker. For example in my theme functions.php file: {{{ class Walker_Widget_Rabbit extends Walker_Widget { function start_widget($args, &$output) { // @todo Updated with the correct vars. $output .= do_action('sidebar_before_module', $id); $output .= do_action('sidebar_before_module_' . $id); $output .= sprintf( ""<div id='%s' class='module widget %s'>"", $args['widget_id'], $args['classname'] ); } function title_widget($args, &$output) { $output .= ""<div class='head'><h3>"" . $args['title'] .

The first message is completely useless, as it states only what we already know: something went wrong. The reason Media > Add new doesn't offer a helpful message is that the error is generated on one page request, and ''then'' the user is redirected to another page. We need a standard, cross-page-load way of conveying messages in admin. I've thought of a few possible ways of doing this: * Define and use a standardized set of error codes and associated error messages. This is similar to what happens currently on many pages: the unhelpful ""Error saving media attachment."" appears when the message argument is set to ""3."" What I'm suggesting would use a common set of message codes across the admin and be much more detailed. So the above situation would instead produce a message like ""Unable to create the uploads directory."" * Save error messages to a cookie. Unlike the previous method, this would allow messages to be made particular to their event. * Have some kind of user messaging stack.

This limitation makes it difficult to integrate WordPress with other projects. wp-load.php fails because of the use of global objects and assign by reference.

As I checked, `wp_trash_comment()` calls `get_comment()`. The latter function implements simple comments cache using `$GLOBALS['comment']`. When you change comment status to `trash`, `wp_set_comment_status()` clears cache by calling `clean_comment_cache()`, but it leaves that global set. As a result my workaround does not work.

I think it was a good experiment, and in some cases is helpful (like for people who are frequently accessing discussion settings or some such), but overall I think it adds to the problem of having too many menus expanded on a small screen pushing the lower menu items out of reach without scrolling. Mark and I have talked about various options for this, and we both agree that we should remove the save-state feature from the menu. So, the section you're in would stay open and highlighted, and if you opened another menu section to see the subs, if you had another menu open before, it would close. You could only ever have one section open at a time in addition to the one you're currently in. Maybe we could release the original save-state menus controls as a plugin in case there's anyone who prefers it that way. janeforshort 11959 Value Truncation Still Unchecked in registration.php Users normal normal Future Release defect (bug) new 2010-01-20T22:59:50Z 2010-11-13T07:38:28Z Functions such as username_exists() fail to perform sanity checks against the storage schema.

That is a very handy feature, and certainly would useful for a site with hundreds of nested pages. To be able to sort that list by date, rather than just title would be useful, as it sorts by title of the parent page, and finding a 3rd level child can be difficult to say the least. The search feature is lacking but that is for another ticket. Likewise, sorting posts by category, author, etc could be useful. Since the functionality seems to already be there for sorting these type columns, and the code's been moved in already, I'd think it'd be a nominal change.

This lets them run without slowing down the page parsing (normally, all page processing stops while the javascript code is executing). - ""defer"" scripts get deferred from running until page processing is complete. Sorta like jQuery(document).ready() does, except without pre-definitions. Faster, in other words, since it's built into the browser. Correct usage would dictate that ""libraries"" like jQuery and such would get the async attribute, while bits of code that use the current DOM would get deferred. The defer bit is basically optional though, since most all code that exists uses something like jQuery(document).ready() already, when it's necessary, and so there's not a lot of benefit there. The just released Firefox 3.6 supports the async attributes, so you can do testing with these immediately. I've noticed a speedup on the wp-admin side of things by using it, but I have not measured this and cannot be sure I'm not imagining it. Still, it does seem like it makes the page appear faster.

After studying the issue, I have come to the conclusion that the underlying issue is that a shortcode can result in a block-level HTML element or an inline snippet of HTML. Neither wpautop nor shortcode_unautop have the information necessary to know what the intended to be block-level or text-level, which results in <br /> tags to appear in places where they were not intended and causes invalid markup when paragraphs are not closed properly. 1) shorcodes when registered need to state the display type of the html that they return (inline or block). In addition, the javascript version of filters need to be provided with the same data. 2) An alternate mechanism for handling shortcodes prior to wpautop needs to be implemented. To maintain a separation between wpautop and shortcodes, temporarily replacing block-level shortcodes with unique tokens, running wpautop, running wpautop on the content of the shortcode (since this is a separate filter, plugins can disable it on a per shortcode basis), and then replacing the token with shortcodes post-wpautop. As WP and plugin authors use shortcodes more and more, I think this is an issue that should not be left to the wayside.

This is only my second post here, and my first feature request, so please excuse me if I have duplicated something or my solution is completely unsuitable. I am experimenting with the CMS capabilities of Wordpress, especially the enhanced post_type GUI in the new 3.0 alpha release. While building a sort of Yahoo Answers type platform, I wanted to have 1st level comments as answers to a question (a post), and 2nd level comments as comments on the answer (1st level comments). I wanted to label comments on an answer as ""comments"", but this is not really possible to do, to my knowledge, using ""wp_list_comments"". I created my own function for wp_list_comments so I didn't have to modify Wordpress core, in order to get at the walker class at the bottom of wp_list_comments. I wanted to use start_lvl to add a title for comment level 2. However, start_lvl in ""class Walker_Comment extends Walker"" will only let you change the list type to ""ul"", ""ol"" or ""div"". My idea is to add an argument which would allow you to add a title, along with specifying it's heading (or surrounding tag). As I said, I am not an expert on Wordpress coding standards, so the following code may be completely off. {{{ /** * @see Walker::start_lvl() * @since unknown * * @param string $output Passed by reference.

There just isn't a way to show them that fits with the detailed system that exists around logging errors with WP_Error. In both cases having a built-in way to display all messages logged in a WP_Error object would simplify their code and make their use of WP_Error much more logical and less haphazard. == WP_Error is intense == WP_Error objects can have an infinite number of messages logged inside them into $code groups which themselves can even have multiple message values/ {{{ WP_Error::add($code, $message, $data = '') }}} You can then retrieve error messages for a specific code using WP_Error::get_error_messages() == show_message() is weak == In contrast to this useful maleability is the show_message() function used by various updater scripts to access WP_Error messages: {{{ /** * {@internal Missing Short Description}} * * @since unknown * * @param unknown_type $message */ function show_message($message) { if( is_wp_error($message) ){ if( $message->get_error_data() ) $message = $message->get_error_message() . ': ' . $message->get_error_data(); else $message = $message->get_error_message(); } echo ""<p>$message</p>\n""; } }}} Living in misc.php, this is clearly not the most loved function in WordPress, but beyond its lack of documentation and arguments it also actually doesn't make sense when combined with the nature of WP_Error, and I'd argue that it should be a first-class citizen of the WP_Error API. === Deal with the input as WP_Error class by default === For one thing its argument is named $message, which is a misnomer since it also supports complex WP_Error objects. I think it should be called $error and it should attempt to handle the error object in as much detail as possible. If this function is given a string instead of an error_object it should just show the text with the default formatting. === Move it into the class defintion === The function logic should also be moved to be inside WP_Error as ::show_message() as well as maybe adding a ::show_messages() to differentiate between forcing the first message in the object and showing any relevant messages. The original function can be kept as a shell for the class method. === Support $code and $data better === The updated function should allow $code values to be specified to show only messages related to a specific error $code (from WP_Error::add()) as well as some kind of option specifying whether the contents of the $data value for the results should be displayed. === Add support for 'types' of errors for display purposes === To really have valuable visual cues linked with error display the system needs to be adapted to handle error types like 'error', 'updated' and something green like 'success'. Having this be part of hte API would increase the likelihood of people using the system because it will make it easier to quickly add visual errors to a plugin. IMHO the easiest way to achieve this would be to link 'types' with CSS classes expected to exist in wp-admin. 'updated' and 'error' classes already exist, yellow and red respectively, and can be a starting point. This way marking an error as 'error' or 'updated' automatically controls the color it will be when show_messages() is run. This would probably require modifying the WP_Error::wp_error() and WP_Error::add() methods to accept a 4th argument, but would be a great step forward. === Use nice formatting === I think the formatting should be the same as the 'settings updated' message from after you save a settings page. It is malleable and stands out in the admin: {{{ <div class=""updated fade""><p><strong> MESSAGE </strong></p></div> }}} == Lets make showing errors easy == Even though these functionalities aren't needed for the current uses of show_message() in the upgrader process I think they will inform and improve those systems when the changes are taken into account. WP_Error is fairly powerful but not used enough because it is incomplete and awkward. Improving show_message() to fill this hole will mature the API and hopefully get plugin authors using it in more detail. It would definitely make integrating WP_Error into the Settings API much easier. == Thoughts on this before I make a patch? == I'll try to work on this soon but am interested in feedback.

As far as I know, there is no pre-defined limit to the length of a URL. However, browsers typically enforce their own practical limits, the shortest of which is much larger than the 255 character limit that WP is enforcing. Entering urls longer than 255 characters causes them to be truncated. I tried altering the table so that link_url has a datatype of VARCHAR(1024). This allowed me to use much larger links without them being cut off. Therefore, I believe that the limiting factor is the DB and not some other code within WP.

We are used to getting properties from these objects, e.g. $post->ID or $comment->comment_ID, but this class has no methods. As used, the stdClass object is only a syntactic alternative to the array. As long as we're already using objects, let's have some more useful classes. I propose post and comment classes that implement common interfaces, and classes that extend these for special post_types and comment_types, and filters to allow plugins to use their own classes at instantiation time. Without actually using PHP5 interface syntax, the idea is to have identical methods to get things from objects in the loop. For example, one common method would be ```url()```. The same method would work on every kind of compatible object, be it a post, page, attachment, comment, trackback, or pingback, although the underlying logic for getting the URL may differ for each. ```<a href=""<?php print esc_attr($post->url()); ?>"">``` It would simplify templates while allowing various object types in loops, not just posts, and give us an opportunity to clean up a lot of the underlying template tag logic (e.g. global $authordata), and give plugins and themes new ways to modify output. This stemmed from my work on search. I wanted a way to keep the template simple while adding support for different object types in the loop.

The idea is that in updating the Widget API, like the WP_Widget class, widget areas will have a similar registry structure. In my opinion though, I believe that for backwards compatibility it should be integrated but remain separate from the current API for controlling sidebars, also like the WP_Widget class. In the previous discussion, I said that a possibility could be creating a WP_WidgetArea class, and a WP_WidgetArea_Factory class to register and unregister them. After some thought though, I believe this is pretty much unnecessary. What is a widget? - It is a GUI module with a client-side and administrative view, wrapping how to control, use, and display data. It is a form of MVC, and that's basically it! That being realized, I don't see a problem with adding one more default widget to the core: WP_WidgetArea extends WP_Widget This will allow dynamic generation of widget areas. Implementing how to edit these areas within the current interface is another story, though I have a kind of hacked logic I am unhappy with working in a released plugin of mine. In the future, using widgets for widget areas will eventually depreciate the entire sidebar API. It would only depend on one global area to add and pull widgets from (the theme... cough...).

Typically, the requester is looking into doing front-end ajax requests and the like. There are other use cases, such as wanting to catch specific URIs -- e.g. a trailing /print/ to the url, which the permalink API is incapable of catching. They all got rejected on grounds that there is the init hook that can be used just as well for ajax. Or the template_redirect hook in place of an ob_start hook. The list goes on. When you want WP and plugins to be loaded '''and''' fully initialized, instantiated and ready to go, setting a priority to obscene levels on the init hook works (I typically use 1000000)... but it always feels like you're working around a crippled API. Starting output buffers on template_redirect with a priority -1000000 feels equally clunky. Then, there is the front-end ajax. Yes, admin-ajax.php can be used unauthenticated... But the fact of the matter is, you can end up with SSL turned on when it's not useful, and the lack of an wp-ajax.php file makes many a plugin dev wonder where in the bloody hell he should catch his own requests. It would be sweet if this all got fixed in WP 3.0. The argument that goes ""a hook already exists"" seems extremely invalid to me. There are many places in WP where two hooks (and oftentimes many more) can be used to achieve the same result. Think wp_headers and send_headers, for instance. What they have in common is some kind of before/after flow, which init and template_redirect are currently lacking. One could argue that parse_request is nearby init, and that wp is nearby template_redirect, so they'd be good enough. But the first of these parses expensive regular expressions before firing, and both are only known to WP junkies. Suggested hooks for WP 3.0: - a wp-ajax.php file built similarly to admin-ajax.php. - an wp_loaded hook at the very end of wp-settings.php, with a commentary that tells plugin authors that init should be used to instantiate, wp_loaded should be used to act once everything is instantiated, and that wp-ajax.php has hooks that are specific to ajax requests. - an ob_start (or pre_load_template, or whatever...) hook at the very beginning of template-loader.php, with a commentary that tells plugin authors that the new hook should be used to instantiate such as output buffering once WP is fully loaded, while the second is traditionally used to pick an arbitrary template."

The TwentyTen theme makes use of the comment-reply JavaScript code that comes with WordPress, and includes in the header.

I removed the {{{ <?php if ( is_singular() ) wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' ); ?> }}} in header.php and replaced it with {{{ <?php if ( is_singular() ) wp_print_scripts( 'comment-reply' ); ?> }}} at the very bottom of footer.php, just after the wp_footer() call and before the closing BODY and HTML tags.

If one tries to do this now, you can attempt to copy the whole database over to the beta or staging setup which will result in links on the beta/staging version going to the production/main url's. This makes it relatively unusable. Ideally there would be some solution where developers can decide for their beta/staging site to download data from their production/main server every day or at will which will allow them to keep things updated and allow for them to test with their most recent content which can be useful. If this synchronization can occur without the previous problems and other problems that occur with simply copying the entire production database that would be wonderful! mnolin 12877 Modular themes: Apply template hierarchy to folders within a theme Themes normal normal Future Release feature request new has-patch 2010-04-06T16:26:15Z 2013-04-11T03:34:53Z "Applying template heirarchy to folders within a theme will allow themes to be broken into modules, allowing theme developers to substantially reduce repeated code.

And when a post is opened for editing in the web editor, the content is passed through filters such as the_editor_content and content_edit_pre. However, when a post is fetched for editing via XMLRPC API calls such as getPost or getRecentPosts, the content_edit_pre filter is never reached. This leads to a situation where whatever massaging of the content that a plugin may peform on the way into the database is not reversed on the way back out, for clients of the API. A concrete example of this problem is with the popular Syntax Highlighter Evolved: http://www.viper007bond.com/wordpress-plugins/syntaxhighlighter/ This plugin performs encoding of the post content before it is stored in the database, and it counts on being able to decode that content by adding filters to hooks such as the_editor_content. However, none of these filters are reached via the API, leading to ""corrupted content"" when users try to edit posts from API clients such as the iPhone WordPress app, or my desktop editor, MarsEdit. (My previous bug report #10802 exhibits the same symptoms of this bug, but this is a different cause). In summary: 1. WordPress needs to establish a clear, baseline hooks for massaging content before it is saved to the database, and for un-massaging the content on the way out of the database. Currently there seems to be uncertainty about which hooks need to be overridden and under what circumstances. It seems to me that content_save_pre and content_edit_pre are probably good candidates for this. 2. Whatever hooks are established as the guarantees need to be applied once and only once in both the web-based editing scenario, and in the API editing scenario. I think that having a well documented pair of hooks for this purpose that works identically in the web editing and API editing cases will do a lot to ensure correct behavior when plugins are installed that massage content, and will make it easy for plugin developers to ""do the right thing"" without relying on hooks that are specific only to the web editor, or to the API.

This is a problem when used for individual post comment feeds. The function gets the last modified comment across all blog posts. That means that every time a comment is posted anywhere, the Last-Modified header for ALL comment feeds is refreshed. Issues: 1. This is technically incorrect, since only the global comment feed and one specific post's comment feed have changed with the last comment (not all possible comment feeds); and 2. It means that If-Modified-Since requests for other post comment feeds will not receive a 304 response when they should do (since their content hasn't changed). On blogs with many posts and many comment feeds, this will have a large impact on bandwidth because lots of requests will receive 200 responses where 304's would have done, just because a comment was posted on some other post. If I've understood the flow correctly, $wp_query hasn't been fully set up at the time this function is called, so changing this behaviour would require some change in the flow of things (e.g., the handling of last modified headers for feeds moves into the do_feed() function).

Enqueue truncates the $handle variable after the first '?' while register (and all other wp_style functions) accept any string. 2. Register set the default for $media to 'all', while enqueue set it to false. (fixed in the #13056 patch). Moreover, since the two functions are practically the same, I've grouped them together in a private _wp_register_style function with an additional $enqueue boolean. Both enqueue and register call _wp_register_style. I've omitted the truncate behavior mentioned above. If there's any reason for it in one, and not the other, or in both, feel free to correct me. We could also just remove the truncate behavior from enqueue.

However, if the comment transition is not from/to the 'approved' status (e.g., if the comment is transitioned from 'spam' to 'trash' or from 'unapproved' to 'trash'), then the associated post is not actually affected. Therefore in such cases the edit_post action shouldn't be fired, because the post has not been edited/modified in any way. I would argue that the 'wp_update_comment_count' action also should not be fired. One solution is to check whether the comment count has changed before firing the action. Another possible option is to call wp_update_comment_count only when a comment has transitioned in/out of the ""approved"" status. I'm inclined to prefer the former because it involves less change.

The first relates to categories - currently a category template file will be selected when the category of the selected post matches the filename of the template (category-catfoo.php). Because categories are hierarchichal (can be sub-categories) I suggest that if it can't find a template for the current category it should also also try to match ancestor template files. The other feature which I suggest would be useful, is single post template matching using category names. For example, single-catfoo.php. This could also match on ancestor categories if none is found immediately (single-catrootfoo.php).

This introduces a bug when the author has no blog posts yet, then the global $authordata is not set, as a result, no author information is displayed. Also, having to rewind the query later in the template is counter-intuitive. One may argue that there's no need to display author information if that author doesn't have any blog posts yet. But I disagree. Theme developers might want to list custom posts on the author template file as well. For some sites, the author page is served as a member profile page for subscribers. Therefore having to query the first post in order to get the requested author information is a flawed approach. One better way to fetch author information in the author template is by getting the query var 'author' for the author ID. Then use get_author_meta() with the second parameter to get the desired information. {{{ $author_id = get_query_var( 'author' ); $author_description = get_the_author_meta( 'description', $author_id ); }}} I attached a patch that addresses this issue. In this patch, get_author_meta() is also modified to handle the ""display_name"" field correctly by applying the filter ""the_author"" whenever this field is fetched. Another approach, which I haven't tested yet, is to set the $authordata global variable whenever the author query var is set.

It does things a bit differently, has nested evaluation, and allows self-nesting. Since there are some significant differences to the existing implementation, A lot of the changes are borrowed from definitions in the HTML specification (particularly name and attribute matching). The following are the comments at the top of my shortcode file. I tried to keep track of all the differences (and questions) there. == From Test Cases == (http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-tests/wp-testcase/test_shortcode.php) {{{ Shortcode Statuses (to implement, or not to implement?) enabled = the shortcode works as normal (default) strip = the shortcode will be parsed and removed. e.g. '[shortcode foo=""bar""]' produces ''. '[shortcode]foo[/shortcode]' produces 'foo'. faux = the shortcode will be abbreviated. e.g. '[shortcode foo=""bar""]' products '[shortcode]'. '[shortocde]foo[/shortcode]' produces '[shortcode]' disabled = the shortcode is not parsed at all. e.g. '[shortcode foo=""bar""]' products '[shortcode foo=""bar""]' }}} == Major Differences/Improvements == I. Addressing http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API#Limitations 1. You can nest any tag at any depth regardless of ancestors (#10702) 2. Tag and attribute names may match: `/[A-Za-z][-A-Za-z0-9_:.]*//*` (trialing /* because that comment ends), with case-insensitive interpretation 3. Interpretation doesn't get tripped up by things like hyphens == II. Addressing Ticket #12760, == 1. Changed from fix in #6518. Reasoning: balancing double-square-brackets can have misleading results with nesting 2. Shortcodes escapable by using `[[`, `]]` 3. `]]` is escaped ""right to left"", so `[shortcode]]]` would evaluate to `result]` 4. '[[' is escaped left to right `[[[shortcode]]]` => `[result]` == III. Enhancements == 1. Only matches valid shortcode for registered hooks, everything else will appear as text 2. Can register multiple hooks to single shortcode, uses priority (default: 10) == IV. Conflicting Design Changes == 1. Quoted literals are escaped by entities rather than cslashes 2. Inline (self-closing) shortcodes get passed content to accomodate multiple callbacks 3. No equivalent to shortcode_parse_atts function (Not marked private in function reference, but not documented in shortcode API page) 4. Boolean attributes take the place of positional attributes `[foo bar]` gets attributes `array('bar' => 'bar')` instead of `array('0' => 'bar')` 5. Disallows attribute and tag names that don't match `/[A-Za-z][-A-Za-z0-9_:.]*/` 6. Disallows unquoted attribute values (also boolean attributes), unless they match `/[-A-Za-z0-9_:.]+/` == Basic Interpretation Method == 1. If an open tag is encountered, it is added to the stack 2. If a close tag is encountered and there is no matching open tag on the stack the close tag is ignored 3. If a close tag is encountered and there is a matching open tag on the stack all opened tags on the stack before the matched tag will be implicitly self-closed 4. If text or an inline tag is encountered, it will be evaluated to its parent's content immediately 5. If tags are not closed by the end of the interpretation, they will be implicitly self-closed == Issues == 1. Haven't written new unit tests to reflect new functionality added, functionality differences 2. Documentation is not as good (though I hope most of the code is self-explanatory) 3.
