Displaying 1 To 30 Of 43 Comments @Andrew Nacin – Great! … WP_Rewrite was giving me no end of frustration trying to sort out how to add it to a plugin (*grin*) » Posted By Edward Caissie On February 23, 2012 @ 8:50 AM er, that hyphen should read <Ctrl>-<End> … feel free to moderate accordingly. Thanks. » Posted By Edward Caissie On February 22, 2012 @ 10:08 AM Neat little trick although personally I still prefer my “BNS Login” plugin. Install and activate. Now whenever you are on your site you can simply press – to scroll to the bottom of the screen and you will find a link to the Dashboard (or to log in as the case may be). » Posted By Edward Caissie On February 22, 2012 @ 10:07 AM Theme Review Team Could Use Some More Reviewers Clearing the Priority #2 Queue was a very lofty goal; and, although we did not achieve that goal we did achieve one I was hoping for: getting noticed more by the WordPress community. Obviously the more reviewers the faster the theme review turn-around … so, if this type of “Theme Day” will help get more community members involved and interested in giving back then we will be more than happy to continue with them. » Posted By Edward Caissie On January 30, 2012 @ 3:20 PM Chip Bennett Hits 1,000 Theme Reviews Well Done, Chip! Lots of hard work and dedication can be seen in this milestone; I hope to see the next one(s) with you, too! » Posted By Edward Caissie On October 20, 2011 @ 11:10 AM ThemeForest And The Theme Repository … a Theme Validation tool where theme authors could upload their theme and the files along with the code structure can be analyzed for inconsistencies or the use of deprecated functions. This “tool” exists, in a sense; it was, and still is, being developed by one of the Theme Review Team members: Simon Prosser. Here’s a link: http://pross.org.uk/theme-check/ When I am doing WPORG reviews I use this as a “Quick Review” before doing a more standardized review. » Posted By Edward Caissie On September 25, 2010 @ 11:39 AM Overtaking Blogger Through Mobile Apps I liken mobile blogging to tweeting, except the blog entry is generally more permanent. If I am looking to be socialable, I tweet; if I have something to “say”, I blog. I have also taken to saving as a draft then giving the post a quick once over before publishing from my desk top. » Posted By Edward Caissie On February 26, 2010 @ 7:01 PM Help Me Cleanup The Ideas Forum @Jeffro – Thanks. It’s a lot like answering questions at WordPress Support forums, just a more focused/directed response. » Posted By Edward Caissie On February 24, 2010 @ 7:40 PM … ok, I tagged a few threads. It’s a start. » Posted By Edward Caissie On February 24, 2010 @ 7:01 PM I’ll take a look around … » Posted By Edward Caissie On February 24, 2010 @ 6:11 PM Donate To Plugin Developers Day – March 1st The #365pdd gets my vote, too! » Posted By Edward Caissie On February 23, 2010 @ 3:10 PM WordPress Dev Chat For 2-11-10 I just missed the IRC session … I have bookmarked the “new” Codex page and will add the “License: GPL2″ to my plugins with their next updates, but it’s this new menu system that really intrigues me now. Time to set a test server to version: 3.0-dev … » Posted By Edward Caissie On February 11, 2010 @ 8:39 PM Woo To Power Menu Management In WP 3.0 @Justin Tadlock – That seems like a sensible approach. It appears to be a powerful addition to functionality; and, one that may require a great deal of focus for theme designers. I’m looking forward to its release … » Posted By Edward Caissie On February 13, 2010 @ 11:13 AM From the link above: … it looks like we’ll be incorporating the Woo Custom Navigation system into core. I’ve spoken with Woo and they are working on turning their custom menu system into a core patch. I am hoping they make it a new function, maybe » Posted By Edward Caissie On February 11, 2010 @ 3:20 PM @Otto – I like your “license” better than the verbiage that I am using. Time for more plugin updates … » Posted By Edward Caissie On February 12, 2010 @ 12:30 PM I have just recently been adding an explicit reference that my plugins are released under a GPL license due mostly to the discussions here. Every one of my plugins will include this reference, included under “Other Notes” in the readme.txt file as well as in the main plugin PHP file with their next releases. » Posted By Edward Caissie On February 10, 2010 @ 9:58 PM Should Themes Have Plugin Functionality Built-In? I believe themes are all about the aesthetic look and general layout; and, plugins are all about functionality. Of course the two are not mutually exclusive, they should work well together and when doing so create something greater than either by itself. Adding functionality to a theme is all well and good, provided it is not done for the sake of doing it. If the premise of a theme requires the functionality of, for example, a menu plugin to accomplish its end goals then it is obvious to me that the functionality should be included. Do themes need to include Twitter, Facebook, or anything similar (again, as examples) I think not, there are plenty of very good plugins that manage these functions all too well. Just like @Brian commented: … depending on the theme, the intended audience (mass consumption? or single client project?) and also depending on the feature. » Posted By Edward Caissie On February 9, 2010 @ 6:34 PM The process is functional, although I agree that with a successful submission there should be an auto-refresh to show the new article and/or listing showing the article rather than having to close the “lightbox” and refresh. I like what I see and believe WPVote will make for a good feed reader subscription. » Posted By Edward Caissie On February 1, 2010 @ 9:22 PM WPWeekly Episode 84 – Interview With Page.ly Just a quick FYI … it seems the iTunes podcast is not working (Jan 18), some sort of error :( » Posted By Edward Caissie On January 18, 2010 @ 8:31 PM Digging Into WordPress Is A Great Read If there were only more time in the day … … I’m still reading my copy. Great information from what I have read so far. I was thinking of a review post myself. PS: @Nicolas … stop by my site if you want to pass through an affiliate link, it’s in the sidebar ;-) » Posted By Edward Caissie On December 8, 2009 @ 11:36 AM The Lowdown On WPCoop With Jayson Cote I liked the ideals of WPCOOP when I first found the site. Good interview going into more depth about them. I registered a while ago … just need to set aside time to get my profile more complete. » Posted By Edward Caissie On September 25, 2009 @ 7:51 AM I didn’t realize this was such a novel technique of coding individual multiple widget areas. I found it in the codex last month and immediately used it for the footer widgets in my Ground Floor theme. Although I agree, the post at Digging into WordPress does present another good use for this technique. » Posted By Edward Caissie On September 7, 2009 @ 5:39 PM First Signs Of WordPress Using BuddyPress With Project Wide Profiles This is great … I logged in with my JellyBeen account first (which is one of my wp.org blog accounts) then I realized that I should be logging in with my “Cais” account ;) Profile: http://profiles.wordpress.org/cais/ This link is going everywhere (*grins*) … hmm, like my forum profile here » Posted By Edward Caissie On September 3, 2009 @ 9:25 PM Do You Think The Codex Is The Future Of Documentation For WordPress? @JLeuze – I agree with the strong editorial hand on the codex. Not that I have made any major contributions, but I got so tired of scrolling up and down in the Function Reference that I stopped what I was doing and Alphabetized each category on that page. I would contribute more where I could if I believed it was going to be the “go to” reference, but I would also agree it does not lend itself well to confidence building in its current state. » Posted By Edward Caissie On August 15, 2009 @ 12:40 PM @Viper007Bond – closed Wikis perhaps, but otherwise I would lean towards @andreas’ comments » Posted By Edward Caissie On August 14, 2009 @ 6:48 PM I would like to see something more than a wiki as the codex base. I use a few pages all the time, such as Template Tags, and Functions Reference, but for the most part if the information is not available on one of those pages, then the quality starts to drop off dramatically. Even the simplest of structure is ignored in places … heh, I’m not a fan of wikis so I will stop before I get to a real rant. If they could combine the “ideals” of the current codex with the details of trac I think they would have a real “Go To” documentation reference. » Posted By Edward Caissie On August 14, 2009 @ 4:51 PM WordPress.com Testing A New Look @Viper007Bond – Your Admin Bar plugin was usually one of the first I would use with my WPMU installations » Posted By Edward Caissie On August 14, 2009 @ 6:50 PM @Martin – The bar at the top looks strikingly like the one in WPMU … it may be one and the same? » Posted By Edward Caissie On August 12, 2009 @ 4:24 PM I’m liking the new design … You’re not losing screen real estate with the login now moved to the bar at the top of the screen; and I find the “blocks” of blogs more enticing to click on than the former text style of links. I’m looking at it in a standard 4:3, 1024×768 monitor so that may be affecting the sidebar layout, which I find to be a little “off” but after logging into the site it “fits” better. It might be the layout, or the choice of fonts sizes … or it could just be me ;) The random block in the footer area is a nice touch to promote their own sites/apps as in the case of WordPress.tv and the WordPress iPhone app, its not obtrusive and fits the design well. » Posted By Edward Caissie On August 12, 2009 @ 8:25 AM Subscribe To The WPTavern Link Roll Thanks Jeff! Great idea to share. » Posted By Edward Caissie On July 16, 2009 @ 11:29 AMComments Posted By Edward Caissie
menu() or something similar, so theme authors can choose to use it … or not.
