I take woocommerce as it's an easy one.
Simply close vote anything as not a single one in the last weeks met the minimum criteria for asking a question.
sigh sorry, doesn't work over here. paypal keeps telling me "pay-per-vote not yet available in your country. try buy-politicians in the meanwhile".
he! I start liking the "unclear what you're asking" close vote. It's so subjective that I can apply it to anything that I don't know shit about. Including WooCommerce.
this guy was that afraid of the fact that I responded to his "found the answer!" comment, that he removed it. guess we can close that one. will stay open forever.
because it could as well be any generic cpt question. just happens to have the tag
anyway, this question + answer show the quality of research and effort perfectly. answer is plain link to documentation at woo, question is "sketch whole task for me and little bit of code pls"
btw, chip. could you please stop faving stuff that you simply agree with? the community bot twitters stuff on fav and things there are mostly out of context.
Maybe we could get some written rules on using markdown in comments, and appropriate use of chat stars? I didn't realize I've been violating so many community conventions.
Maybe I should open a new Meta (with a date and a funky bar on top of main): 200 points worth of bounty for the guy who finds the on topic WooCommerce question.
@ChipBennett Now go and tell @toscho that he should list them and explain why the questions are on topic. Then argue through all of them. Entertainment!
I have a woocommerce wordpress website. I want to display only the featured products on the main page, which is set to Shop in the Woocommerce admin. The problem is it will show me the featured products and the normal post loop that Woocommerce prints by default.
Example here: http://bit.ly/1c49...
Wow, user tweets me that they're looking for an Event Organiser ready theme other than "Clinto". Turns out that someone has dumped the plug-in in a theme and is selling it on ThemeForest ... themeforest.net/item/…
@toscho Its not Pro, as far as I'm aware. Free version. But yeah. Just would have been nice if he'd told me :). There's also the requirement that he credit me - but I believe that's just in the source code. What would have been nicer was if he just made it "EO-ready" with a quick install, then I'd be happy to point people to it.
what is GPL source code for JPEG image? meh, screw that... the fact of life is Envato works like that for a long time and if it was easy to determine it's not legal - Matt would
@toscho I think generally the idea of a split license is legal (Can't find relevant line now). But if theme could be considered a derivative then obviously its not ok.
IMO the admins have been overzealous to hold the question and have either completely misunderstood the question or don't have the necessary knowledge to respond to it.source

@StephenHarris I guess you can go wild on this guy on Envato. Best ping Japh via Twitter. This guy makes lots of things very wrong. Advising people to hack his code directly to "fix" stuff, lots of unsatisfied comments related to events, etc.
I think Envato doesn't want to have that low quality overall on their site at a constant basis.
@StephenHarris You should as well consider splitting your license statement: This plugin is released under the GPL for stand alone usage. If used as part of other software, the XYZ license applies.
@kaiser Great, this guy makes a theme and they complain about the events part :P. Haven't decided what I'll do if anything yet. Its been going since February and I've only had one support request from a customer of his (and I told them go to theme dev - I assumed the user was editing the theme - didn't release it was the developer)
@Rarst Yeah, but you'll have to choose a license when downloading/integrating based on your use case. The whole fucking license world turns like that. (A) Select use case that applies to you (B) get license applied. Just look at any remote API out there.
@Rarst you should consider starting to eat along side your cat. Will put monitor out of side and deliver a reason to clean the floor sooner than later as well :)
Guys, the point I try to make isn't even about the GPL but about any licensing out there: If you attach different licenses to different use cases, then the selection of the use case happens before GPL and therefore you can force whatever license you want whenever you want. I'm not going into derivatives of [foo] license stuff discussion.
@kaiser Yes, I can upon delivery, issue the plug-in under a license of my choosing. But the plug-in is on the .org, so they receive the code under GPL, and so may do what they wish. I cannot retrospectively change that license if they choose to use it elsewhere or do something with it.
Or implement something like an attached model: Strip down base plugin, retrieve parts of plugin via your site with different license model.
Anyway, in your case I'd just blindly shoot at that guy via Envato route. Prepare some tweets and a blog post that you share on G+, twitter and poststat.us, etc. to accompany your request, break some discussion off the fence and put some pressure on TF/Envato and that "fuck you"-mentality-guy.
@kaiser But code is issued with a definite license. Not conditional one. So at download they may select the conditions under which they will use the plug-in, and I change the license accordingly. But if the license gives them freedom to do whatever, (i.e. GPL), then they can. The license cannot change based on where the code is used, unless the license it self dictates which terms apply under which conditions (and therefore could never be GPL).
@kaiser I could. Or I could make similar theme, and do things 'properly' and sell that. Probably not on TF because no-one wants to make buy a properly built theme. They want sliders, marquee text, pop-ups and facebook. TF customers are not ones I particularly want to deal with...
I'm pretty sure Envato doesn't support having such a crap in their repo. Just get in contact with them and if doesn't fully work out put enough public pressure on them.
@StephenHarris I scanned through two pages of his comment stream. 2 sales = 1 comment and most weren't as bad as I'd expect.
@kaiser Generally comments are fairly positive (and rating too). A lot of "I want it to do something completely different" or "How do I.." requests.
To be honest, I'm kind of flattered that he's using EO. I just wish that he'd done it properly (i.e. kept EO as a plug-in which you can quickly install). Since then his users won't be left behind with updates/bug-fixes, and I could point to it as an EO-ready theme, and the various other extensions (inc. Pro) would work with it. One comment mentioned bookings and that the theme didn't work with Event Expresso - done properly he could have just pointed them to Pro.
I've long since proposed to Japh that I write a series for wptuts on the "ecosystem" of plug-in & themes, how developers can help them work well together (and why its still difficult), how market places drive themes to adopt features etc. He said yes, but I've yet to pen anything...
Come on, Stephen. Honestly: This is not what Envato wants. They added guidelines for a reason. Ping Japh, ask him what's up there and why that theme is allowed to do that. Based on the answer you can easily consider additional steps.
Completely off topic. Again a user who doesn't want to understand what this site is about:
k but i also want help and i said where to edit not what to paste. any way Thanks — Monika1 hour ago
@ kaiser if you can help someone then help Please don't do demoralization. I asked this question after doing a lot of work on my PC but still didn't reached at any solution that is why i asked here.:( — Monika33 mins ago
kaiser please consider just saying nothing and moving on. blow steam elsewhere. babysitting comment thread of high ranking users is last freaking thing I need as mod.
Blow steam elsewhere? Calm down? Babysitting? I put it in here so someone else cares about following up as I'm just tired of answer that again and again. Not angry or in the need to blow steam anywhere. You deleted enough of my comments already to know how my style of writing is when I get angry on someone :)
I don't care. you and Chip have been having passive agressive party in the comments lately. I don't want to clean that up on top of everything else I am cleaning up.
the comments are not for anyone to have a blast explaining others errors of their ways.
@Rarst if any of my comments have been inappropriate, call them out specifically. So far, the only thing I've been told is that I shouldn't use formatting in comments.
I make an effort to point out ways that questions need to be improved so that they are a good fit for WPSE. It's neither my fault nor my problem if the OP takes offense.
@Rarst where is the source of that problem? Is it with the members who act according to SE community-moderation practices to try to bring questions in-line with SE conventions, or with the people who come in, make no effort to learn how SE sites work, and ask off-topic, low-quality questions and then get upset when asked to improve their questions?

@Rarst case in point: the person who lost his stuff at me yesterday, merely because I asked him to clarify how a SoundCloud API problem was WordPress-specific, and then quoting from the FAQ regarding questions not being on-topic here merely because they happen in the context of WordPress
I can't control how such people perceive things, nor do I care to.
> In order for Automatic Updates to be enabled, there are a few simple requirements:
If the install uses FTP for updates (and prompts for credentials), automatic updates are disabled If the install is running as a SVN or GIT checkout, automatic updates are disabled If the constants DISALLOW_FILE_MODS or AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED are defined, automatic updates are disabled If the constant WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE is defined as false, automatic updates are disabled Your WordPress install also needs to be able to contact WordPress.org over HTTPS connections, so your PHP install also needs OpenSSL…
@ChipBennett That would be the logical conclusion. Maybe they've got a separate API for upgrade notice and automatic upgrade. It would seem odd to suppress the upgrade notice when it has always been present as soon as a new version is released.
@ChipBennett That's what I meant, your suggestion that update/notice should appear together would be from a code perspective logical. So I'm guessing they simply didn't want to suppress upgrade notices, even though automatic updates are rolled out gradually.
@GhostToast Because we like the magic. Besides they didn't spend all that time adding automatic updates for us to go an update manually. It would be ungentlemanly.
I'm using the code "as it is", tried on options page and in multiple different files to make sure (such as page.php). The code for updating single field works perfectly everywhere, this one doesn't. Maybe I should wrap this with a function or something? — Wordpressor57 mins ago
so how does everyone here pay the bills? freelance? work for a small company that does web? big company? manage a couple sites for a different kind of company? curious.
also, when I select text in sublime, it highlights every other occurrence of it, but PHPStorm doesnt do this, I cant find a setting to make it do so =(
and cmd+shift+d to duplicate a line has become more of a habit than I realise
*client:* "please make exit popup dialogue if someone clicks on external link" *me:* "You are about to make a poor decision! Are you sure you wish to do that? Click _Ok_ to confirm, or _Cancel_ to join the 21st century!"
vex.dialog.confirm( {
message : 'Hello! Do not leave! We love you too much!',
callback : function( value ) {
return value ? 'Gone!' : 'Stayed...';
}
} );
jQuery is a prerequisite.
@Rarst @toscho not sure what to think about that request. somehow it sounds valid and the situation on their live site is like it got described. on the other hand it as well sounds a bit like someone trying to do something he isn't allowed for a reason.
Often times chatrooms can get overrun by oneboxes. Room owners and mods can move irrelevant oneboxes to a bin but sometimes these messages are relevant and shouldn't be binned.
It would be really great if there was a way to minimize them client-side with the ability to maximize them if needed.
