If someone have info about memcached for wordpress send me a link please...
  
/tmp is quite often on modern linux installs a memory based storage area 
rather than a disk based one and it not really designed for storing the 
number of files that wp-super-cache can generate.


They would be much better stored somewhere under wp-content as in it's 
default configuration.

 You can use the URL of the file you uploaded on one gallery and use it on
 the new gallery, but instead of uploading, you put it in the File URL
 section. Or I just might be talking gibberish. My apologies if I don't make
 any sense. I blame lack of sleep.

[wp-testers] Adding Add new tag as new tag

2008-12-09 Thread Casper Old.School.Crew
Hi ppl :)

While you edit a post, if you hit the Add button in the Tags section 
(without entering anything into the field), the Add new tag text is added as 
a new tag. I don't think it should be like this. Add button disabled, maybe?

p.s. Also I was wondering if there will be option to choose/set the category 
for the post in QuickPress?

No, QuickPress is only meant for jotting down ideas or a quick draft 
that you can return to later with the full write panel.Seems like their 
is a lot of demand for just having the write panel on the first page you 
see when you log into the backend of WordPress. Maybe someone should 
create a plugin for that.

Yeah +1 for disabling that button, v. easy patch to do in jQuery - possibly
quick enough to get in before 2.7 goes gold?

Also, I think the QuickPress widget will be improved in 2.8 to include

Re: [wp-testers] Change Attached to Gallery?

2008-12-09 Thread Emily Lysyk
DD32,
That's fantastic news!  It's a pity I wasn't here earlier when it was
brought up for 2.7.

You can use the URL of the file you uploaded on one gallery and use it on
the new gallery, but instead of uploading, you put it in the File URL
section.

Will,
Unfortunately, that just embeds the file into the post.  I'm also using a
jQuery that pops it open and allows browsing back and forth between the
images much like an iFrame, therefore those embedded and not in the gallery
do not appear.  So, if I were merely doing thumbnails and files, it would in
theory work (aside from different thumbnail sizes, but that can be
adjusted).

Here is a link to my demo page:
http://www.em2astudios.com/tests/illustration/

doesn't that just create a hyperlink to the external URL? Or does it upload
the file again into the database

Paul,
Yes, it creates an img tag (with or without a hyperlink) and does not upload
the file to the db again.  Also, if you do make a plugin, I am more than
willing to help test it out!  Keep me posted on it ;)

Thanks everyone!

Wow, is there really a lot of demand for for having the Admin open up to 
the editor when a user logs in? Personally I wouldn't want that since 
TinyMCE is the most resource intensive page in the Admin out of all the 
them. Still, if it can be done by a plugin, perhaps a fairly simple 
redirect controlled by putting a check box on the login page that when 
checked, takes you directly to the editor instead of the Dashboard.

I'm sorry, but Twitter, Facebook, etc. cannot replace blogs. Facebook is 
a social community for staying in touch with family, friends, etc., and 
Twitter just allows you to put whatever random thought rolls through 
your mind out there for the whole world to see. Do I really need to know 
that someone's dinner last night is causing them issues this AM? Both 
have more noise than signal.


Bloggers take time to carefully craft an article on whatever subject 
they are writing about. Can you imagine trying to do a political debate 
between candidates where their answers have to be 140 characters or 
less? Or someone writing a tutorial on something new in WP 2.7 - 140 
characters or less eh? Can't be done.


There is a time/place for each thing - Twitter, Facebook, and blogs. 
Whoever wrote that article is the one who is out of touch.

I don't think people want the whole TinyMCE editor, Kirk, but I do think the
QuickPress widget will be popular - it's more lightweight but allows quick
post creation.

The plan is, at least I think this is the plan, in 2.8 to allow people to
customise the content of that QuickPress widget - with tickboxes for the
different elements. You could choose to have a Categories dropdown visible,
but no tags textbox, etc etc.

A lead developer will have to confirm, but thats the rumors I've read.

I don't think we could ever come up with a definitive way to organize the
blogosphere, just because it's so subjective - what I consider garbage
might become really popular - I love Bruce Springsteen, many don't, etc etc.

I think tagging will certainly become crucial in this - we've seen on
WordPress.com how it's much easier to 'surf' the blogosphere when using
tags, and a unified tag search of all blogs over the whole web would be
great.

We also need some way of filtering out the splogs and advertising crap -
Akismet/Defensio for blog posts as well as comments comes to mind!

Re: [wp-testers] It seems we're outmoded...

Can I just add that whoever invented Akismet (Matt was it?) deserves a huge
gold medal, a box of chocolaits  a huge bottle of wine. :)

 I don't think we could ever come up with a definitive way to organize the
 blogosphere, just because it's so subjective - what I consider garbage
 might become really popular - I love Bruce Springsteen, many don't, etc
 etc.

 I think tagging will certainly become crucial in this - we've seen on
 WordPress.com how it's much easier to 'surf' the blogosphere when using
 tags, and a unified tag search of all blogs over the whole web would be
 great.

 We also need some way of filtering out the splogs and advertising crap -
 Akismet/Defensio for blog posts as well as comments comes to mind!

Re: [wp-testers] It seems we're outmoded...

2008-12-09 Thread Paleo Pat
Very True. Whenever a new thing comes out on the 'Net. It goes through what
I call The Phase.

1. Experimentation
2. Implementation
3. Capitalization

At first Blogs were like the new cutting edge thing. Once Wordpress.com
and Blogger.com came along, the mass implementation started happening. Then,
the Capitalists saw that money could be made, then ads appeared.

The downside is this, the noise has gotten louder. Twitter is following
suit. Already there are people out there trying to use Twitter to spam
people.

The challenge for Blog author's is this, to be Unique. Which many Blogs do
well, and some, quite frankly, stink at it. There are two types of Blogs,
the leaders and the echo chambers; this is true especially in politics.

This is why I detest Memeorandum. It encourages Blog snobbery. I won't even
get into what I think about Gabe or his politics.

One thing I've noticed, is, many Blogs copy others, like Style, and because
of this, and because of the PreFab themes, the Blogsophere is very, shall
we say, Un-Unique. Of course, if you've priced Blog Design Services, you
will see *why* many blogs go with a Prefab look.

I personally think that the Blogsophere is here to stay. We've just got to
get better at what we do.

They were probably closed as their solutions were committed to the SVN.

so, one of you smart folks drop me an e-mail... I need to make a little
change with a Plug-in...

Re: [wp-testers] Back on topic - Time to upgrade 2.7 again

2008-12-09 Thread Paul Robinson
:)

That had me chuckling for quite a while Dan. :P

Just on a side note, and getting back to WP stuff. I was wondering if anyone
can help me with a strange problem I've been having with 2.7  google
adsense? They seem to appear as a bright blue block at times. It only
happens in WP and not on normal HTML pages. It happens on two blogs I have 
does not happen in 2.6.5. Any ideas? Also it only seems to happen in FF
3.0.4  Chrome.

It's bizzare, but any help would be great. :)

Paul.

Re: [wp-testers] Upgrade Question

2008-12-09 Thread Paul Robinson
You might be disconnecting from the internet or your wireless signal could
be getting disrupted  stalling, I doubt it though. You could however try
hooking up and cable to your router instead of using wireless  try that, if
it's at all possible.

Also if a update fails you can remove the maintainence page by looking for a
file called .maintainence in the root of your WP installation  deleting it,
that's just in case you didn't know. It only tends to be visible when
connecting through SFTP on my server though.

As for your update failing, if it's not the shaky connection it might be
that WP needs to use FTP access  you have entered the information
incorrectly... I dunnot I'm just a tester  not really great at the back end
stuff. Hopefully a dev will beable to extend on what I've said, and probably
correct a few mistakes I've made along the way. :)

 How involved is my connection in the upgrade process? Here's what's
 happening - I am attempting to upgrade several sites, but I am doing it
 over
 a rather shaky wireless connection. The process goes through part way - I
 see:

 Downloading update from
 http://wordpress.org/nightly-builds/wordpress-latest.zip

 Unpacking the core update

 Verifying the unpacked files

 Installing the latest version
 , but it never completes.

 At first, after waiting for the maintenance screen to clear, it would still
 show 10119 as the version, and the An automated WordPress update has
 failed
 to complete nag. Now it showing 10151 as the version but still shows the
 nag. Could it be a problem with my internet connection, or is it likely to
 be something else?

Paul,

Thanks for your thoughts. I'm working through those now.

Let me add one more thing for anyone else who might read this thread. I have
upgraded these sites automatically in the past few days and as far as I know
and control none of the settings on the server side have changed. I'm
rebooting my computer now, just to see if that has any effect.

[wp-testers] 10151 can't minimize modules in dashboard...

2008-12-09 Thread Musing Minds
After upgrading to 10151 I can't minimize anything in the dashboard. I like
two columns and keeping only the Right Now module open with the rest closed.
I do see the down pointing arrow at the left of each module's header and
there is a mouse-over tool tip that says click to toggle but nothing
happens when it is pressed.

I have done a hard refresh and cleared WP-Super cache...
