@RebeccaChernoff explanations are always welcome...

@kaiser the api only allows a singe oauth domain (subdomains are fine) for the redirect. so to handle things like blog.gaming.stackexchange.com, blog.superuser.com, scifi.blogoverflow.com, etc, instead of using the "local" version of my login page, the login_url filter passes everyone over to blogoverflow.com/path/to/login/page.

In putting this up for testing, I enabled the plugin only on one blog, not the network. Unfortunately, I didn't do it on the blogoverflow.com, but on a child.blogoverflow.com blog. So, the flow got passed to the blogoverflow.com login page, where the plugin wasn't enabled, thus the authentication wasn't running.

@RebeccaChernoff self coded plugin?

btw: appreciate explanation

Just to calm you down: On an "advanced" level (compared to every day questions on WPSE), you often get to the point, where extremely simple things kill your day: if ( /* some condtion */ ) return; mostly is what destroys an easy tasks "easy" attribute :)

How do you use sessions in wp admin?

Any one uses Redirection plugin? Description says it supports 302 redirection, but I see no option as such.

@AahanKrish would pass-through work?

@MichaelEcklund nah, it seems to do 301 :(

...corn flakes + lemon + onions + ground nuts = nice snack

woo, 4000

@anu Congrats. That is very impressive because your extremely short answers are often in our low quality queue. :P

@toscho i live to give the mods some real decisions to think about :)

morning

where can i see my own chat message archive?

anyone know jq/js plugin which can make tables from data input (like js object, array)?

@Sisir in your profile

great

@Rarst can I see that post?

blogs.hbr.org/cs/2012/07/how_to_manage_your_smartest_st.html

My current favorites (browsers): Firefox (for reading) and Chrome for everything else.

please tell me that shit got starred not because someone like it. please?

@rarst adding it to my employer manual

;(...

heh!

I’m innocent.

PHP explained

@toscho I deeply don't understand people concerned with arguments order...

@Rarst because it reduces mistakes if the API is consistent

@Rarst I appreciate the polemic, not the argument. The latter is wrong.

There's nothing wrong with PHP, the Taliban use it!

oh, this is going to one crazy day!.. :)

@Rarst @TomJNowell ...and the argument order is my daily "WUT? Y U NO WORK?"... multiple times.

@kaiser get decent IDE

@Rarst No. Force PHP to check is_string() and is_array() and then shuffle stuff in case to align it with my current brain condition.

whatever works for you :)

yea. maybe with PHP 7 :)

on above - so apparently I am mental case, ungrateful for adjustments team makes to please "my situation" (what situation?)... taking guesses if I am still employed by end of this day :)

@TomJNowell aahank.com -- keeping it real simple

@AahanKrish might be best to put up a page as your frontpage with a quick hello Im me this is what I do here're my sites thing

then take it down when you have something other than hello world

@Rarst Hire a better team!

@TomJNowell lol! I expected that. :D

@toscho noted

I place 50 pesos that Rarst is unemployed by day's end

keys to an array?

When a new user, I've never seen before in here (or Pollux Kafka), joins, I always count down for myself and wait for the question coming in...

lol!!!

what do you guys recommend for regenerating slugs on a CPT

wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rp-recreate-slugs seems to be like a lone ranger, not sure its trustworthy

wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/46086/… by @toscho seems good, too

lol

@lkraav Should be a) a plugin, b) tested in a local vanilla install c) runs currently on every request.

@kaiser you mean @toscho's snippet?

@lkraav yes

right. yeah absolutely.

anyone has a clue about HTML5 datalists? have quick question

@userabuser is this similar to what you suggested for "redirects in WP" that day? wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/58883/10691

Anyone used/using StudioPress themes or plugins? After seeing this plugin's code, I was kinda impressed. :)

Anyone else wear their socks inside-out because it's way more comfortable?

lol!

3.5 Removing “Links” great..I juts built a whole sites ad widgets around this

@Wyck they could be move into CPT

@Sisir I could move them anywhere, but moving 40+ ads = work

im hoping the functionality is preserved somehow

they said it will be moved to a plugin...

@Wyck Where did you read that?

@MichaelEcklund make.wordpress.org/core

@Wyck "Wednesday, December 5 is our target for 3.5." Why are you worried now? lol that's so far away.

@MichaelEcklund Some of us have no free time until then.

@MichaelEcklund im not worried , but I would have built it a diff way if I had know that, not huge deal just a couple hours

but it seems like I have to many "couple hours" things

@toscho Well pawn stuff to me if you don't have time. I'll do it.

@MichaelEcklund want to make a hacky css/php mobile version of a site, pm me , I just turned it down

Is this equally crappy at your installations? Viewing it currently in Chrome latest. Btw: It's the "Attach" jQuery dialog.

Oh: wow! It needs the a) wp-admin.dev.css and b) colors-fresh.dev.css stylesheets...

Hope the jQuery UI styles are coming into core with 3.5...

ha, past midnight and I am still employed!.. but at the rate drama is going they are not very interested in keeping me around :)

@Rarst Where do you work?

@MichaelEcklund remote for smallish WP firm

@Rarst cool, i'm trying to get in somewhere doing the alike. but i have terrible luck.

@MichaelEcklund get better until people will be chasing after you

@Rarst i suppose that calls for a decent portfolio site?

@MichaelEcklund I don't have one so not really...

@Rarst linkedin?

not on it...

@Rarst how are they finding you then?

hint - you are in a chat of this site?

hah

so more rep grabs employer's attention?

I am hardly hot goods btw. not US based, not much into core, etc

not as much rep but it's easy to check out if you have a clue here... try setting up careers profile with your best stuff

i applied, and made an account. haven't taken much time to fill it out though.

@Rarst im probably about half the level you are though, do you think i'm still wanted?

it's a lot about who you know, so get to know more people

@MichaelEcklund well, looking at the current drama I am not that wanted myself :)

@MichaelEcklund If you need a portfolio you failed already. :)

@Wyck true as well

well thanks for the useful advice guys.

I so don't feel qualified to give career advice today... not that I am much ever :)

lol, well i scratch my head everyday figuring out how i can get a job working with wordpress all day everyday.

i love wordpress

@MichaelEcklund that's irrelevant :D

@Rarst i feel that statement was on course.

@MichaelEcklund Be visible. Specialize. Stay above the fold. That’s all.

@toscho Wow that mrwweb moved up fast. we had about the same rep a month or two ago.

Compare the graphs: yours and his. Do you see what’s the difference? :)

i know, but he doesn't have to take his cats for a walk everyday like i do.

he is visible. many of the high rep users get upvotes because they are recognized.

i have one in a VirtualBox but it is rather outdated.

"Full Retina support" for 3.5... khm

@Wyck wouldn't worry too much - guess they will (as always) try to keep things backwards compat.

can wp_update_post() be used to change the guid of a post?

@MichaelEcklund don't think so, its a unique identifier , from what I know can only be changed in db

@Wyck would this SQL query work for updating every post's guid url?

UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = REPLACE(guid,'www.domain.com/','www.example.com/');

@MichaelEcklund I would leave the guid as is

@MichaelEcklund Yes, just pass 'guid' as argument for the parameter array.

@Wyck i need to update the urls. i switched domains. the old urls are still displaying.

See wp_insert_post() for a list of possible arguments.

@MichaelEcklund The GUID is not an URL.

@toscho okay, so wp_update_post() would work?

Yes. Test it.

how come when i dump all posts, it shows a url? and even in the db, it shows a url?

the guid is stupid

It is built like an URL, but it doesn’t represent a real address.

and no one wants to fix it

the only thing/reason you should fiddle with it is for media uploads, codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Important_GUID_Note

GUID is just a unique identifier - it just needs to be unique within the database, and not change
