this is a Yahoo address

userabuser

looks proxied through that address

toscho

to ban or not to ban?

Tom J Nowell

I now have 76 new draft posts

userabuser

@toscho tough call, it could either be a dumb-bot scraping your site for search results or a proxied hack attempt

use the report abuse email and notify them maybe they will give you a tangible response

@TomJNowell completed drafts?

toscho

abuse mails are waste of time

Tom J Nowell

00:50

@userabuser some, most unfinished

I created them in bulk after splitting apart the drafts I had

that's at least a year of blog posts on a weekly schedule

userabuser

drip feed them

Tom J Nowell

No, I shall publish all 72 posts at once. It shall be called Blogcember, and everyone will be mildly inconvenienced

userabuser

you will bring internet down if you do that

WordPress News: 3.8 RC2

posted on December 10, 2013 by Matt Mullenweg

Release candidate 2 of WordPress 3.8 is now available for download. This is the last pre-release, and we expect it to be effectively identical to what’s officially released to the public on Thursday. This means if you are a plugin or theme developer, start your engines! (If they’re not going already.) Lots of admin code […]

how do you do this. Scenario: You need to call and show api data in a page.

1. Will you call the api on earlier hook like (init, template_redirect). If so how do you pass the data to the page? Globals?
2. Call the api middle of the page (the page might load halfway and stop to call the api).

I am not considering ajax yet. It will be part of progressive enhancement that I will add later.

userabuser

a very basic way is to create a function wrapper that calls something else...

function getApiData() {
    $api = new SomeApiClass( $apiKey );
    return $api->someMethod();
}

In template:

<?php echo getApiData(); ?>

...if you need to access the API on a hook then do so, you can still expose its result to your template.

Sisir

@userabuser hmm.. that's the process of #2. Will you be worried about php output html and stop just before the api function if some reason the api response is slower?

Anyone have any tips on making PhpStorm perform better?

When I start it up, my fans switch on and the computer gets a bit sluggish

It is a laptop, but a fairly good one (Intel i7 + Windows 64-bit + 4 GB ram)

I just got an upvote 2 seconds after I posted an answer. This is almost scary.

@MarutiMohanty whenever you edit a post, please delete the "thanks" things. @toscho gave me the lesson to do so. :)

Sisir

okey, this is weird. I am saving usermeta as an array (which get converted to serialize data when saved). but when get the data back using get_user_meta() it outputs array iniside array like array( [0] => array(..values..) )

nevermind..

re QP mentions above - what QP currently does is getting replaced with DevHub reference (which will have user submitted comments later). QP is up for scope change after that.

Tom J Nowell

10:58

@bungeshea there is a power saving mode

Rarst

@bungeshea that's probably startup indexing, it should show progress at the bottom. if you have very very large project might make sense to break it down

I used to just have one giant project with everything, then started to move on to roughly site-sized

Maruti Mohanty

@MayeenulIslam Ok Sure Mayeenul, I will take care of those :)

@Rarst Did they just take the code of your scraper and you're out of options now and have to completely switch? already have something in mind?

Rarst

they are kind of equals me there. nope, it uses WP Parser

I will switch because there would be no point for QP to duplicate official resource, pondering moving closer to code

kaiser

Still can't understand why they're investing time and money just to clone your project.

@Rarst what do you mean by "closer to code"?

Rarst

15:08

@kaiser because offcial? the whole point that QP was making it that there needs to be better official function reference

code search. not just code constructs, raw code search as well

kaiser

15:23

@Rarst So basically what you can do when searching the GitHub clone/mirror repository?

Rarst

I am more inspired by PhpStorm

new WP people rarely start with good IDE and it might be years they get to it, while they do need means to explore actual code pretty soon

kaiser

If the GitHub search API wasn't that limited by requests, I'd say use it and just build a nice UI for it.

Rarst

15:37

GH doesn't understand functions/classes, not even getting into WP hooks and stuff

kaiser

omg... wondering why everything is failing. Of course, username_exists() returns the ID in case of success and NULL when failing... facepalm

phpstorms liveedit is nice but why doesn't it work with CSS without a refresh?

newclarity / sunrise-1 look what finally saw the light of day :)

Wyck

because of the metamophosis thingy

@kaiser just read sidebar and though of add_hilter()

please don't tweet that..

Rarst

@Wyck yeah, I got that

you do realize that as soon as someone stars that - bot will tweet it? :)

kaiser

@Wyck looks like TweetBot will do that for you

Wyck

yes that's why I messed the spelling up , also asking someone to not tweet is the same as asking them to tweet

Seamless updates: Greatest thing ever!

Rarst

seamless updates of what?

kaiser

node modules and bower dependencies.

Rarst

what does seamless mean in context?

kaiser

hit update, stuff runs updates, runs unit tests, reload instance, everything's fine :)

Rarst

why wouldn't it be? :)

kaiser

22:53

of course. at least it was written by ... me. no doubt there :D

Rarst

whatever... so far I am just using enough node to compile less

kaiser

switching topics: poststat.us links to uninstall/etc "tutorial" from woo guy. finding my own quotes there. incl all mistakes ... H-A-H-A!

Rarst

without attribution? original source? lame, big time

kaiser

yeah, sure. woo, you know?

Rarst

where are quotes from?

kaiser

22:56

last paragraph is what I told at every answer at that topic: Don't echo during install/etc. Link to the Codex entry that hasn't much aside from a link to my WPSE answer can be found two lines later :)

@Rarst here. Funny fact, which kinda-proofs my idea: Got an upvote for that ~2-3h before now. Article linked on poststat.us ~1h from now.

brb - moving home from coffee shop.

Rarst

doesn't seem close, but I am about to pass out

@Rarst close? what?
