Q: Bug: Code/Pre after list breaks *always*

There's one annoying bug: Try to do write a list and then add some code. If you don't place another line of text in between, the code section breaks and the first and last lines jump out of the formatting: Testcases: This is Some list with items // And some code if ( list( $code, $items ) ) ...

How can i disable widget from being visible in some pages

Rarst

10:36 AM

@kaiser dealing with it... reported to Gravatar

kaiser

@Rarst ty

Rarst

@Malek plugin like Widget Logic

Brady

anyone know how to stop json encode doing this:

"Tom&#8217;s Deli"

or do I need to deal with this in JS?

nvm Ive fixed it

instead of using .text() in jQuery I needed to use .html() so that it would parse the html entities

kaiser

@Brady Btw: strtr() often helps :)

Brady

@kaiser what use is it to me linking to the german manual...

@kaiser Plus strtr() no use here

:)

kaiser

10:43 AM

@Brady Here's your first use case: strtr( $url, 'de', 'en' ); ;)

Brady

@kaiser Yeah yeah clever clogs :-)

kaiser

@Rarst @Brady Maybe interested in this.

Brady

whats with the oxo in all ur class names? In english that can be interpreted as Hug Kiss Hug :)

kaiser

Jes. I love code :)

Nah, didn't even know that. The only reason is that this prefix helps me spotting my custom lines easier & faster.

toscho

11:10 AM

@Brady I told him already how stupid that looks.

Brady

@toscho Yeah its very juvenile don't you think?

kaiser

@Brady You brought a new fact on the table. Didn't know KissHugKiss = oxo

Brady

@kaiser no its hug kiss hug get it right!

kaiser

@toscho On the other hand TTT and ttt looks like a grave yard to me.

Brady

:P

toscho

11:12 AM

@Brady Not to know what it means or not to care?

Brady

@toscho thefreedictionary.com/juvenile

toscho

@kaiser Whenever you see this prefix you know you see outdated code.

@Brady Yeah, I know what juvenile means …

kaiser

@toscho What's the new prefix? T5?

Brady

Not enough t's we need at least 10 ttttttttttSomeAwsomeFunction()

toscho

@kaiser yep

Brady

11:14 AM

@toscho I was asking you: do you think its juvenile starting class names with oxo?

toscho

The TTT prefix is from the classes in my old theme framework: toscho’s template tools. :D

kaiser

@toscho Ah, ok. trailers.apple.com/trailers/wb/terminatorsalvation/small.html

@All Google offers a QR Code lib. Pretty easy & kool.

Brady

@kaiser cool. but i have no use for it

kaiser

@Brady I guess I should switch to vip_ then. juvenile...

Brady

nah that would make you big headed :)

toscho

11:19 AM

How about _±_ as prefix? Low collision risk.

Brady

:)

kaiser

Maybe I'll go with ℋℯℓℓℴ_

Or thïs.

yeah this is good

Anyone tried dlvr.it? Can't find any prices there...

twitterfeed.com I use that

I dont publish my whole feed. only posts tagged with twitter

toscho

I need a better way to manage my WP plugins. Totally lost the overview.

Would this be an on topic question for WPSE?

Rarst

12:25 PM

@toscho a little too organizational... "how do I manage chunks of code" is not that WP specific

toscho

@Rarst The WP specific problem is: There is just one plugin directory. If I put all my plugins into that directory I cannot find anything anymore.

ungestaltbar

great idea for another plugin: Plugin Manager with Tags and virtual folders

kaiser

Double that

toscho

A library directory would be a good start:

Rarst

12:49 PM

@toscho add something like "Type: library" to plugin header us in admin interface

kaiser

@toscho Make it a Q "How would I add an additional, admin UI manageable plugin directory?"

toscho

@kaiser I know how to do that. I'm just too lazy.

kaiser

@toscho Shall I do it for you?

toscho

@kaiser Yes please!

kaiser

K. Btw: I didn't say "You can't do that" :)

Q: Add multiple plugin directories

The task You can register add additional Themes directories using register_theme_directory() for your WP installation. Sadly core doesn't deliver with the same functionality for plugins. We already have MU-Plugin, Drop-Ins, Plugins and Themes. But we need more for a better file organization. He...

toscho

function translate_user_role( $name ) {
	return translate_with_gettext_context( before_last_bar($name), 'User role' );
}

Aaaaargh!

kaiser

2:30 PM

↑ ?

toscho

2:47 PM

@kaiser I have to translate custom user roles. wp_dropdown_roles() uses translate_user_role() which calls translate_with_gettext_context() without text domain parameter.

ungestaltbar

"it's not a trick, it's WordPress'

kaiser

@toscho Filter 'gettext_with_context' and use the $context.

toscho

@kaiser No shit!?

kaiser

No. Absolutely not. Trust me.

@toscho Or: Hook into every hook, check WP_LANG and die( 'בבקשה' ); if the lang isn't set to hebrew.

ungestaltbar

hehe

3:15 PM

@StephenHarris Just read your thoughts about WP_List_Table bulk actions

@StephenHarris Have you thought about adding a switch statement depending on some $_GET value. In other words re-using one action in the filter, so it might work for other cases too?

Stephen Harris

@kaiser yeah? I'm hoping they implement it soon. I'm not sure why they can't simply fire a hook with $action and $posts variables and let the plug-ins do the work

kaiser

I'm not even thinking about what happens in trac tickets. Not worth the time/effort/anger/whatever.

Do you have a setup where you could try the ↑ switch?

Stephen Harris

@kaiser not sure I follow...

kaiser

I guess it would be possible to hitchhike on one of the functions that execute the action. And maybe it would be possible to switch, depending on some $_GET arg, what shall happen.

↑ maybe poss. work around

Stephen Harris

I'm checking it out now...

From what I remember the WP_List_Table class has very few hooks...

toscho

3:30 PM

Ticket: Rewrite get_themes() and other enemies of sanity. Finally!

kaiser

3:41 PM

@StephenHarris Afaik few is an understatement

Stephen Harris

4:10 PM

@kaiser So anything within the table class gets filtered out so you can't hook custom actions into it (but we know that), and edit.php doesn't let you hook into when it deals with the actions. The only real way is to use load-{page} or admin_action_{action}, perform the checks and actions etc

Oh and your nonce has to be 'bulk-posts', or you can manually redirect yourself back to the page minus the action :D

I have a list of horrible questions for the candidates.

Brady

@ThomasMcDonald To bad I'm not going to be there

U can ask me them now if you want

user30

There's opportunity for you to answer afterwards, I believe.

Brady

That will do :)

@ThomasMcDonald give us a clue how bad they are?

user30

Nah, not too bad.

Brady

Why is it said that an alarm clock is going off when really its coming on?

In libraries, do they put the bible in the fiction or non-fiction section?

maybe I should ask that last one on the Christianity SE site?

user30

If you want it to get deleted, sure.

I know I would only ask that if I was a huge troll

had a go at that last night, was good fun although it was a bit late to be starting it

Brady

@ThomasMcDonald LOL thats like asking here: How do I login to someones WP site to gain admin access when I don't have permission

@ThomasMcDonald how far did you get?

user30

I got onto level 3 before I was pretty much falling asleep

user30

plus buffer overflows aren't something I really know much about so I needed to research more
