[wp-testers] 2.7 splintered menus
It seems that the menus in 2.7 are becoming _extremely_ splintered. Do we really need ELEVEN menus??? By breaking things out so much, I think we're making the layout more brittle -- less open to changes or additions. Write/Manage was a much stronger setup than Posts/Pages/Links/Media. Especially as plugins add abilities to the system, authors are going to end up having to make more top-level menus because we're losing the more generalized topics such as write and manage. Either that or we're all going to have a thousand things all crammed under tools because that's going to be the only logical place left Hmmm... I used the have the calendar page under 'Manage'. Huh. I guess Tools? Well, is the 'top of every page' notice (from plugin x) a page or post? Neither, really. It used to be under Write. Guess I have to stick it under Tools...? That was two good examples just off the top of my head. We're removing much of the flexibility of the interface by making Top Level menus so specialized. As much as I appreciate feedback, I think designing this via poll is going to give us the proverbial horse made by a committee. The geeks in charge (in which I, some tiny bit, include myself) need to have a longer view of things.

Re: [wp-testers] Page Ordering
On Apr 30, 2008, at 10:16 AM, Jennifer Hodgdon wrote: Here's a thought. Without implementing complex drag-and-drop, another easy way to change the page ordering in the admin back end would be to display an editable column of the existing page order numbers on the Manage Pages screen. You could update numbers for a few pages at a go, click Submit, and voila. Of course, this Manage Pages screen was already deemed to be too cluttered to have room for the crucial ID field, so probably the Powers that Be would be opposed to adding this column too... but it would be useful. As much as Matt abhors additional Options, it's things such as this (and the IDs), that make me think that the Users preferences should have an Advanced Admin checkbox. If turned on, lots of extra data/ clutter can be displayed that is, admittedly, not needed by the average Joe User. Jennifer has just given two very good examples: a Page Order column and a Page ID column in the Manage Pages screen. Leave the Advanced setting off by default, but allow users to turn it on to see this extra info. Such a simple thing could have big implications for the eternal struggle between simplicity and advanced functionality. The WP lists spend so much time quibbling over putting in or removing important information -- and the argument for removing it always comes down to most people don't need that, keep it simple. This way we could have the best of both worlds.

Re: [wp-testers] Page Ordering
I disagree with that. The difference here is that WordPress _does_ have a way to order pages in core -- it's just very cumbersome. This would be improving the usability of something that already exists in core, not adding some new functionality. As such, it is an entirely legitimate candidate for addition to core. Page ordering is already there. Making it easy to use is a good idea.

Even when you use it as a sort of CMS you will not have to rearange your nav structure very often (if you do, there will be some issues with SEO) Anyway it is nice to have a plugin which can handle this - but one shouldn't blow up core by adding things 95% or more will never need. -- Stephen Rider http://striderweb.com/ ___ wp-testers mailing list wp-testers@lists.automattic.com http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers

Maybe as one of the install steps we ask what the default username should be? Or include it in wp_config...? Yes, if the default WP super user is not the regular and expected admin user login, then an attacker will have a more difficult time hacking and cracking your WordPress. If anything, automated attacks would be much more likely to fail. In an ideal world, you would never post anything as the admin. Your day to day blogging and commenting would be done as a regular author user, not as user with admin privileges. Mike Is there anything in WordPress that _depends_ on the existence of a user named admin? How about a user with id = 1 ? Without knowing for sure, I'm guessing deleting user #1 might do bad things. Going directly into MySQL and renaming him though sounds relatively safe. Thoughts?

[wp-testers] You are not allowed to edit this page.
In 2.5 RC2 on my test server: When I click on a page to edit it, I get a screen with the following: You are not allowed to edit this page. This is a single-author blog.

[wp-testers] Install hits PHP logs with errors?
Hi -- First off, I'm using a somewhat modified system, so if somebody else could confirm this on a standard install I would appreciate. When running the 5 minute install in 2.5 RC1, it appears to hit the PHP logs with errors similar to the following: [25-Mar-2008 20:17:51] WordPress database error Table 'stride_MySQL.wp_options' doesn't exist for query SELECT option_name, option_value FROM wp_options WHERE autoload = 'yes' made by wp_load_alloptions I get what the errors are -- it's not finding the tables because they don't exist yet. But should we really be hitting the logs with errors for essentially expected behavior?

A gallery is an exposition of a unique set of images, a simple one-to-many structure. In the wake of the now ubiquitous iTunes/Playlist structure (or should I say iPhoto/Album?) in software, I can see how people might want to have a Library of images that can be added to multiple different Galleries.

I believe that is correct behavior. Personally, I always use both alt and title in image tags, to normalize IE's aberrant behavior. If there is no text on mouseover, I use an empty title=.

Re: [wp-testers] Save and Continue Editing Button
+1 on this. I use exactly the same methodology. Edit in one tab, preview in another tab. I need the Save and Continue Editing button. That removal alone will make me hesitate to upgrade to 2.5.

In WP 2.3 I have 2 window (tabs) open in my browser - one where I edit the post, then click Save and Continue Editing and the other window (tab) for previewing the changes. After editing a post in 2.5 I only have a Save option, which takes me back to the list of posts.
