@toscho Thanks for the suggestion. In fact, I had great interest in entering the moderation elections but didn't think the elections would be held this soon. I felt that I still needed to grow as a developer before I would be eligible but in second though, maybe this isn't the main factor.
@ChristineCooper Your developer skills are not important for that. You have to know/learn how the system works, stay calm all the time, and bring your own perspective when we are discussing edge cases.
I need to read up more about the duties of a moderator and basically what rules are enforced. I've actually done moderation (secretly) for a number of years, or more like 15 years, so I know the general gist of how to engage with users and resolve conflicts.
I need to look into the duties nonetheless and see if this is something that I can do in my current schedule.
On a good note, I actually pulled off the WordPress developer interview and I'm officially working with it as of next week... which gives me a lot more reasons to engage with the community here.
topic mean i have some message with attachment. so if any one want to reply on that message then they can. this requirement i can achieve i think using discussion board.
I haven't played with BBPress as much but as a starting point with the API, install Postman browser addon (it will change your life) and check your routes.
No unfortunately I don't. As I highlighted, I haven't played with BBPress much, but if you have some experience with inserting data using rest, it should be relatively straight forward. Have you search for answers properly here? I'm sure there is something to dig up. :)
- Hey... I want to be the first when you write something on google. - Done. now when you enter "9hOIuhdoiushdaoiuYy&8Y*7y87yhoIuhoiuhIHui" on google you are the first one.
Someone once paid me 50 € for a regex. Writing that code took me 8 seconds, writing the invoice 2 minutes. So the money was actually for the invoice.
at one WordCamp we had convo about org accepting donations, which often cost them more to process by accounting than donation amount was. we theorized plugin that would intelligently pretend to accept donations, just not do it for meaningless sums.
@Darth_Vader I would think so - I'm not the biggest fan of freelance mostly because I don't have a solid design background and everyone wants image changes :/
Haha, may take you up on that. Usually if I need design work done I outsource it. I did the whole template deal for smaller clients but found it was more trouble than it was worth. Low budget clients always seem to be more troublesome in my experience.
Same experience here. I think it is a mixture of them mostly not being too professional (otherwise they would have more money) and the ratio between actual work and organizational stuff is the worst on low budget projects
ya but most of it comes from print design where I spend a few minutes and add their logo and send them an editable PDF so they could send it to the printer
I offered to make a site to a designer I worked with in the past for about 750$ and she said it is too much. This is what people usually think of how much wordpress work should cost ....
@kraftner they never have a meetup as it appears to be yearly. Last one I went to was beginners looking for people offering free work. So I suppose developers stopped attending as did I
I'm not sure exactly on the stats. Just I know these sites are importing stuff regularly. Everytime I check the processes it's usually MySQL through the roof.
@kraftner I've been mostly eager to get to know people to learn and grow from and I dont get that there so I dont bother.. I learn and grow more auditing the WP site and WP tag on SO
the bottle-neck is the server, AFAIK performance is basically table based, so as long as the number of tables is the same I am going to guess that you will not gain anything
if you have to have the writes, you might need a stronger server for the DB
The problem is these sites are running import scripts. Heavy on the database writing. Every once in a while, their imports overlap, and the load just skyrockets until their scripts are done importing.
is there any possibility of scheduling those import? For example an import queue table. The master importer script takes entry from that table, locks one finishes it then starts the next.
K well that's new to me. Queuing ... didn't know you could do that with MySQL.
They're all different websites, importing different stuff, using 3rd party plugins, etc. -- So if the queuing them needs to be done at a script level, I can't do that.
but what I actually wanted to say, is that you have already wasted here an hour discussing it, and probably one more researchin. Going from a small plan to double the size on linode will cost you 10$ a month, so by your effort till now, before any coding and testing you have probably already "paid" more then 6 months of a better server would have cost
developer time in western world is seriously a much more important thing to optimize in the long run than hardware cost
hey guys quick question.. If I want something like: $sentence = __('I have X banana','mydomain'); I know I can use printf(__('I have %s banana','mydomain'),'3'); If I want to stack in a variable.. should I use ob_start ?
@CoderSte There are actually three options: 1. The official one that you can download in the admin UI 2. The fixed official one from wecodemore https://github.com/wecodemore/wp-importer 3. The unfinished one from Humanmade https://github.com/humanmade/WordPress-Importer
