Displaying 481 To 510 Of 719 Comments WPWeekly Episode 64 – Big Huge Round Table @Kim – Well, that rounds out the three point tallies for this week! @Epic Alex – The times in which I publish the shownotes post varies and is random. It’s always different but remember, there are other ways to get bonus points, just gotta be on the lookout. » Posted By Jeffro On July 19, 2009 @ 1:34 AM @Conorp – Thanks, I fixed it now. » Posted By Jeffro On July 18, 2009 @ 12:14 AM Listener Poll: Do You Think bbPress Will Evolve Into A WordPress Plugin? @jack the man – Gave it a try when I was looking at forum solutions for WPTavern and although I liked having that functionality out of the box in a simple WordPress plugin, it was very hard for me to work with and style. So I choose not to go with it. @JD Hartley – I’m in the same boat. @Brad – While integrating the two through the database is pretty easy, I think bbPress in a plugin would make the entire process even easier. @Ryan McCue – I understands that. But look at the merger going on with WordPress MU and WordPress. I think it’s conceivable that somewhere down the road, bbPress can just turn into a plugin for WordPress. @Chip Bennett – I also see no harm in keeping them separate but if through a plugin, you could replace the commenting system in WordPress with bbPress, wouldn’t that be pretty cool for integration? @Nicolas – BuddyPress is a series of plugins that when combined together, form BuddyPress. It’s not stand alone software. @Dan Cole – That is where I was coming from with this poll. I think the possibilities are there for some sort of way for WordPress to take bbPress to the next level. Or the other way around. » Posted By Jeffro On July 19, 2009 @ 1:20 AM At Least Three Books To Look Forward To @Chris Coyier – No problem. I have another shoutout scheduled for my pick of the week in this weeks edition of WPWeekly. That site is pumping out great content. @matt mcinvale – More substance maybe, but I’ve always read into O’ Reilly books as dry. The Dummies series actually contains some humor and what have you. @Lisa – Good job on nabbing this opportunity. Can I say that I was across the hallway when this talk took place? :) Will be adding it to my collection when it becomes available. » Posted By Jeffro On July 17, 2009 @ 6:54 PM WordPress Dev Chat For 7-15-09 @Stephen Cronin – I agree, I think it’s definitely a good idea. Would solve the problem of plugin authors complaining that they never know what changes are done to core that breaks their plugin. I definitely think the plugin adoption idea is merit for another meeting to talk about. I hope plugin authors could chime in on that meeting to voice their opinion. » Posted By Jeffro On August 3, 2009 @ 3:13 AM PollDaddy Makes Digging Into Poll Data Easier @Nicolas – I reminded myself of that the other day when browsing around the polldaddy site. I’ll have to give that a review sometime. » Posted By Jeffro On July 17, 2009 @ 6:55 PM @Matt – Sorry about that, it’s one more form of anti comment spam which has worked by the way. But I understand now. » Posted By Jeffro On July 15, 2009 @ 1:37 AM @Matt – Great to hear Matt, maybe a splash of blue or something would help out. But great way of showcasing what Automattic has to offer right on the front page. Do you have a philosophy with using Haiku’s or is there anything special about them? There is a lot of Haiku stuff around the WordPress project lol. » Posted By Jeffro On July 15, 2009 @ 1:05 AM @Martin – It is a bit plain but it’s always been that way for Automattic. I find the simplicity to be refreshing. However, I think the simplicity of the WordPress.com style is simple yet stylish. » Posted By Jeffro On July 15, 2009 @ 12:03 AM @Brad – Thanks for asking my question Brad. I forgot the answer already lol. Ping me when the video is online and I can add it to this post. » Posted By Jeffro On July 15, 2009 @ 12:04 AM Beginners Guide To Customizing WordPress @Chip Bennett – Yes, this is truly for the very beginner of WordPress. Every now and then I like to point people to these places since I never know might be reading or coming across the site. I rarely publish stuff for new WordPress users here. With regards to my presentation regarding what new WordPress users should know when they get their feet wet, does this article sound like a winner in terms of what I should cover or you think I could go a little more in depth? » Posted By Jeffro On July 15, 2009 @ 12:46 AM A Theme I Can Be Critical About @Martin – Yep. Great for someone doing reviews. Very simply base to start from. In fact, these child theme looks like it could be a framework on its own lol. Then we could have grandchild themes! » Posted By Jeffro On July 15, 2009 @ 12:47 AM In Depth Page Menus And Page Listings @Brad Potter – It looks like these guys writing the WordPress book are using the blog as a place to print their content first to get a reaction or make corrections and then taking that and putting it in the book. Not sure if that is what they are doing but the site has been consistently pumping out great WordPress content. » Posted By Jeffro On July 15, 2009 @ 12:49 AM @matt mcinvale – I see where you’re getting at quoting what I said but in that quote, I said EVERYTHING. In this instance, I believe something like this would be worthy of community feeback first before a final decision was made. » Posted By Jeffro On July 15, 2009 @ 12:52 AM @Ryan – Pretty sure which means they did end up in core most likely for WordPress 2.9. But I don’t think we’ll see them in 2.9 and instead, see a plugin with alternative icon sets. » Posted By Jeffro On July 15, 2009 @ 12:50 AM @matt mcinvale – I thought about taking that attitude but that would be wrong. The issue which goes deeper beyond the surface is how these images ended up in core. If we took this kind of attitude towards everything dealing with WordPress, I think we would be in a sad state of affairs. It’s not that I don’t trust the judgment calls by the core commiters, just that I think there was a better decision or way of going about it. » Posted By Jeffro On July 13, 2009 @ 3:13 PM @Michael Torbert – I’ve sent him an email asking if he could explicitly explain the idea but I haven’t received a response yet. » Posted By Jeffro On July 12, 2009 @ 7:17 PM @Michael Torbert – Well, when I wrote this post, I didn’t see his response, but I think his idea is the best of both worlds. » Posted By Jeffro On July 12, 2009 @ 7:15 PM WPWeekly Episode 63 – Interview With Randy Hoyt And Scott Clark Looks like Conorp has caught up with Josh as they are both tied for first place after week two. » Posted By Jeffro On July 15, 2009 @ 12:30 AM @Aaron D. Campbell – Thanks Aaron. Maybe Will didn’t come across it during his search but in any case, he whipped up a plugin and it works just fine for me so I don’t plan on switching. But interesting to see one already existed. » Posted By Jeffro On July 13, 2009 @ 3:10 PM You two got the correct answers. Now Conorp gets a special exception this week because he private messaged me the answers as he couldn’t publish them since the site was timing out for him. So he actually got the answers first, then Josh, then Kim. All in all though, it was a great show and I’m going to find a way to get that crowd cheering into a sound byte. » Posted By Jeffro On July 11, 2009 @ 4:53 PM Listener Poll: Is WordPress A Community Run Project? Well, I have changed my mind in that Matt Mullenweg is really not the sole decision maker for the WordPress.org software anymore. As I’ve discussed with a few people and have witnessed what goes on in the Developer chats, the decision process is spread amongst a few people, namely the core commiters who then delegate feature development to whomever wants to take a stab at it. Those who participate in the dev chat get a say with the topics discussed in the chat and you can vote yes or no or provide alternatives or whatever. Also based on my discussions, Matt appears to be more involved from a development standpoint with WordPress.com and not so much with WordPress.org. He is more of a delegator than anything else. So with all that in mind and what I’ve experienced, I say the WordPress project is definitely community driven with plenty of opportunities to voice an opinion and contribute to the project without one persons purpose getting in the way. » Posted By Jeffro On July 15, 2009 @ 1:02 AM Interview With Ryan Imel Of CommentBits.com Glad to see that the post generated a few sales for you Ryan. Hope this works out for you. » Posted By Jeffro On July 15, 2009 @ 1:18 AM @Conorp – LOL I think that has to do with conical URL’s for SEO. @JLeuze – Yeah, that was more in line with what I thought the term meant but I think in this case, it’s for third party plugins not necessarily plugins maintained by the core devs. @Darren Hoyt – I think it would be easy to figure out what those plugins are with the data the WordPress API collects from plugins installed on all of the self hosted WordPress installs. @Ron – Your comment actually answers Conorps suggestion of what Canonical.php is for. Don’t think aliases has anything to do with these plugins. @Martin – Yeah, sounds good but I don’t like the idea of extending the workload of the core developers by having to maintain these types of plugins. @westi – Well then, that explains it and what I was looking for. Now it makes sense. » Posted By Jeffro On July 8, 2009 @ 4:49 AM First WordPress Weekly Listening Party @Conorp – Yeah, this is pretty cool. Looking forward to see how it turns out. » Posted By Jeffro On July 8, 2009 @ 8:42 PM BornRich Interviews Matt Mullenweg @Conorp – did you happen to pick up on this interview being the one that contained the Trivia question? » Posted By Jeffro On July 7, 2009 @ 1:48 AM Aaron Brazell Author Of ‘The WordPress Bible’ I know that with WordPress For Dummies which is published under the same company, Lisa is able to provide updates in PDF format that are available for free from her site and the Dummies.com site while every 18-24 months, she writes a new revision of the entire book to bring it all up to date. I don’t see the WordPress bible being able to go down the same route due to the length of the book but who knows. If it contains most of the guts of WordPress, I don’t see that changing much due to backwards compatibility so I think the book will be a valuable resource for a long time. » Posted By Jeffro On July 6, 2009 @ 3:42 PM WPWeekly Episode 62 – Celebrating The Freedoms Of The GPL Yep. Looks like we have our first three winners this week. I’ll be updating the scorecard in a little bit. » Posted By Jeffro On July 6, 2009 @ 3:15 PM @Conorp – Hmm, no. Interesting since registered users to the site would be able to define their local timezone but since I don’t do registrations on this site, it doesn’t work that way. I’ll have to look into that. » Posted By Jeffro On July 6, 2009 @ 4:08 AM @JLeuze – I can at least say I tried. Not sure if I pulled it off or not but it was a different spin on the GPL lol. @Conorp – Not sure what he beat you to. Maybe with the air cleared a bit from the post on the dev blog, it won’t be so bad now. Perhaps I’ll get back into publishing content from across the web outside of the GPL topic like I said I was going to do » Posted By Jeffro On July 6, 2009 @ 3:51 AMComments Posted By Jeffro
