Amith KK

Hello \o

Sisir

hiya

Amith KK

Somebody with a sonic gravatar?

Cool

Jared

Sonic rocks

Amith KK

09:34

I agree

Jared

Ugh I hate learning git. It's already proven itself to help me be more organized than what I was doing but learning it sucks.

Amith KK

git is awesome

Sisir

git is awesome :)

Jared

Yeah it is it's just a bit confusing at first

Sisir

i only know couple of commands, enough for newbies.. and working on command line kinda make me feel smart (while i am not) LoL! ;)

Very bad audio but helps a little

Jared

Hah well same here pretty much. I mean I understand the basics and I get awesome ideas in my head, then I start typing commands and it's like "You can't do that!" more times than I had hoped for.

Thanks

Sisir

also there is a book on tutsplus "Getting good with git" which is quite handy..

found it rockablepress.com/books/getting-good-with-git

note to myself: don't test a plugins uninstall.php with the (only) source of your plugin...*surprise it gets deleted*

One of those priceless moments in life. You click delete and in the next moment you are like: oh..wait..no, $!@%( !!1!!1

Bainternet

@ungestaltbar read 10 messages above yours and you will see how to use Git as version control as for why you need it? you just posted a fine example of what could go wrong and how easy it would be to fix it with version control

ungestaltbar

:) yeah, had a commit before this uninstall experiment..so everything is fine.

But if @Jared had not started to talk about git here, I would'nt have been inspired to get git - github - netbeans working again (always had problems with win7)..and in that case: BOOM.

Rarst

10:27

@Jared I've read somewhere that people that are taught version control by someone have much better opinion of it than those that learn themselves :) that stuff is obscure...

Jared

Yeah I can imagine

I don't know any other programmers personally which is kinda lame.

Rarst

I just became barely comfortable with Mercurial and now it seems I will have to deal more with Git thanks to GitHub and "all cool stuff happening there"

offline? who cares... I don't mingle much offline on this

I don't actually know a single WP developer from my country :)

Jared

I just get sick of the "So do you like just type stuff and it like shows stuff on a website?" questions from people I know personally lol.

Having a conversation about programming with someone who knows nothing about it is just... facepalm

Rarst

so apparently last night I wrote this... and it works....

$prefix = ( ceil( $number / $images_per_domain ) - 1 ) % $domain_count;

I feel toscho...

ungestaltbar

I can't figure out how to use wp_redirect without getting "headers already sent" error on my plugin option pages. The only workaround I've found and which doesn't feel too ugly is to add noheader=true to the query string..

Rarst

10:40

@ungestaltbar doing it too late? forgetting to die?

Jared

Where are you putting it? ie which hook?

ungestaltbar

wait i try to simplify it

so I'm using WP_List_Table and a item has a delete action with this link:
/wp-admin/admin.php?page=kontentareas&action=delete&area=new-area-2*

this page has basically only a switch statement

case 'delete':
	do_action('kb_delete_area');
break;

and in the callback is my wp_redirect:

update_option('kb_registered_areas', $areas);
$location = add_query_arg(array('message'=>'2', 'action' => false));
wp_redirect($location);

Jared

You need to make sure wp_redirect is ran before anything is sent to the browser. Like at the very top of a template file (or maybe in the wp hook?).

ungestaltbar

I guess i can not send my redirect to this submenu page, because it's added via "add_submenu_page' on the 'admin_menu' hook, which is obviously too late..but my brain refuses to understand it

Hello everybody :)

Is it ok to (repeatedly) push the user to edit the (wrong) code in his answer??

Should I do the edit myself if he would not respond to my arguments?

http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/43432/2110

Rarst

12:43

@Maugly I would only edit code if there is small issue like typo or formatting is a mess... I don't edit when that would considerably change idea (even wrong one) of the code. comment and downvote if you feel like it are enough

Maugly

@Rarst thanks. I'll wait for the response and downvote if I won't like it.

I know I could downvote now and remove it after improvement but I don't like downvoting new members :/

Rarst

he is just going by wrong information... that field exists sometimes, not always. I commented there.

toscho

@Maugly Vote down and explain why. You can take away the downvote once the user has fixed the error.

Maugly

@toscho thanks for you input. When I think about it now ... the down-vote can serve well as an "early-warning" sign for a user who could just blindly copy-paste the error without reading the comments or learning the context.

toscho

12:59

@Maugly Down votes are as useful as up votes. We need more of both.

That’s a real funny question:

1

Q: Local wordpress setup with SPAM in the incoming links dashboard section?

I am developing a website on my localhost and i just notice a bunch of incoming links in the dashboard's incoming links section, which doesn't look valid. When i visit the urls i don't see a reffer to my localhost/domain.com. the only plugin i had active was "Regenerate Thumbnails". I disabled...

Rarst

what chart types do you typically need/want? thinking which should I include in examples

toscho

@Rarst Number of requests to a page, comment count, new backlinks per month.

Maugly

@toscho I should learn to down-vote much more then.
ALLTIME: 1108 up / 13 down

I will probably need to install that animated voting unicorns extension to make it more fun :P

Rarst

@toscho I mean like in bar chart, pie chart, vienn... etc

toscho

@Rarst I rarely need those. Some people love browser pie charts.

Look ma, 25% of my visitors mangled my fine, handcrafted code through Google Chrome!

Rarst

13:08

it's not about displaying something with pie charts, I am updating my library for Google Charts API...

toscho

I have written some very strange code yesterday. Not used to drink alcohol anymore, I guess.

Maugly

@Rarst are you talking about a plugin that people can use to put some fancy Google charts on their websites?

Rarst

yes

Maugly

@Rarst Hmm .. then it varies as much as all the websites and their topics do :)
But at least one thing that must be *very* common is time axis.
If bloggers would be the target group then the things @toscho mentioned above fits in well.
I can also imagine a nice pie or bars showing #of visits/posts/comments per category/tag/post type - showing "trends" in various topics or sections of the website or particular business.

Rarst

13:25

abstract from WP... it's general-purpose. we are drawing GA stuff with it for work

it's a library, not a widget

anu

@rarst bar, stacked bar, line, area, scatter, pie, radar (and then show how column is basically the same as bar, and stacked column and stacked area is same as stacked bar)

toscho

14:32

			printf(
				'<!Doctype html><title>%1$s</title>%2$s%3$s%4$s',
				get_bloginfo( 'name' ),
				$this->get_refresh(),
				$this->get_css(),
				$this->get_body()
			);

That’s readable code!

git tip - use the git flow model (and the extensions) - makes you have to think so much less about your branching model

Maugly

@Rarst @toscho I have stumbled across these three questions about migration from Tumblr to WordPress. One is closed as dupe but another has a nice walkthrough answer by EAMann. Seems like all three could be merged in one. What do you think?
*Just a suggestion .. not sure how much work/benefit it is..*
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/q/2080/2110
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/q/15251/2110
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/q/24041/2110

Rarst

merging is rarely worth it, just vote to be closed as duplicate on less useful one(s)

"nice numbers" algorithm feels fantastic and magical every time... which probably means I need to refresh math in my head some time

toscho

The hardest part of plugin writing is to find a proper name.

I have written a small plugin that shows the latest posts and comment in Opera’s Speed Dial window. Working Title: T5 Opera Speed Dial Content. Has anyone a better idea?

Rarst

I tried to write such, but speed dial had pretty horrible scaling issues (everything looking tiny)... had they fixed that?

toscho

@Rarst Depends … if automatic zoom is enabled, it doesn’t look very nice.

Rarst

15:07

I got this back then my.opera.com/community/forums/…

toscho

@Rarst Yeah, you have to use <style>@media screen and (view-mode: minimized) {}</style>.

ungestaltbar

15:25

does anyone know if the latest version of the WordPress-GitHub-Plugin-Updater still works?

toscho

16:10

renames close vote to Chip vote. :)

Bainternet

18:44

@ungestaltbar yep i just used it.

ungestaltbar

@Bainternet thanks. I's me then :)

Sisir

20:13

if i have a CPT registered via my plugin. Is it possible to make a template page like single-{CPT}.php without touching the theme?

more simply: Can i assign the single template for a CPT via plugin?

toscho

20:28

@Sisir Yes, via 'template_redirect'.

Sisir

any codex page?

toscho

@Sisir Not sure. A better hook is probably "{$type}_template", where $type is the internal name of your post type. It would be better to ask this on the main site.

Sisir

found a good article mihaivalentin.com/…

thanks for the direction :)

Jared

20:47

Hey all

toscho

21:04

morning. :)

Jared

@toscho any idea if that GIt Plugin Updater would work for a private repo?

toscho

@Jared No, it doesn’t. That's the meaning of private.

Jared

Aw no fun

toscho

@Jared There are service hooks for each repository. You can set up an email notification, enable Post per email in your WordPress and build an update file on your domain based on that information.

Jared

That would probably work

off to learn about service hooks :)

Jared

21:58

AutoHotkey & Git users: I made a little script to make life easier lol.

Actually it could work for anything really

toscho

I start Git just with the OS. :)

Jared

I am a keyboard junkie, I make hotkeys for pretty much everything lol

Rarst

when was __get() introduced? PHP 5 with newer OOP stuff?

Jared

Yeah pretty sure
