Found a bugbug A bug is an error or unexpected result. Performance improvements, code optimization, and are considered enhancements, not defects. After feature freeze, only bugs are dealt with, with regressions (adverse changes from the previous version) being the highest priority.? Create a ticket in the bug tracker.

Want to contribute? Get started quickly with tickets marked as good first bugs for new contributors or join a bug scrub. There’s more on the reports page, like patches needing testing, and on feature projects page.

Other questions? Here is a detailed handbook for contributors, complete with tutorials.

Please suggest items for the Wednesday, September 26, dev chat.

Suggested reading: Countdown to 3.5 Beta 1 and Timeline for Twenty Twelve 1.0.

Updated. Agenda topics based on the comment thread:

#21951 – Twenty Twelve – Conditionals in one template versus more templates but less logic
#21101 – get_comments() – comment_approved versus status
#18302 – theme_uri() with child themeChild theme A Child Theme is a customized theme based upon a Parent Theme. It’s considered best practice to create a child theme if you want to modify the CSS of your theme. https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/. inheritance
#22002 – PluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party favorites via the plugin installer screen

An incomplete list of things that need to land before betaBeta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process. 1:

~~Welcome screen v2~~
Color picker (even if it is the initial pass; we can follow up after with @mattwiebe’s changes)
~~Retina spinners~~ (more likely people can find bugs)
Page on front UIUI User interface
Multisitemultisite Used to describe a WordPress installation with a network of multiple blogs, grouped by sites. This installation type has shared users tables, and creates separate database tables for each blog (wp_posts becomes wp_0_posts). See also network, blog, site in a subdirectory

I think I am outnumbered on #21951 but I am curious what others think. Conditionals in one template versus more templates but less logic.

I hope after release Twenty Twelve will return to GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/ 😉

It’s much more fun to participate over there than on TracTrac An open source project by Edgewall Software that serves as a bug tracker and project management tool for WordPress..

  Sorry TracTrac An open source project by Edgewall Software that serves as a bug tracker and project management tool for WordPress. isn’t as fun for you. Twenty Twelve, Eleven, and Ten will continue to be maintained on Trac for the foreseeable future.

Few things I haven’t marked 3.5 that have patches and might still be good candidates:

What’s up with this one (term cache semi-overhaul)? #21760 – also fixes #11531.

The RegEx for slurping URLs out of post_content for pings / trackbacks is old / ghetto / not robust, I replaced it here: #9064, also fixes #15549.

MetaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. Query doesn’t currently CAST order by value when meta_type is passed: #21621, related #15031

Post metadata action bugbug A bug is an error or unexpected result. Performance improvements, code optimization, and are considered enhancements, not defects. After feature freeze, only bugs are dealt with, with regressions (adverse changes from the previous version) being the highest priority.: #11683

  Ryan and I might tackle #21760 during betaBeta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process.. #9064 seems pretty low priority. I commented to #21621. #11683 is news to me.

#21101 — get_comments(), comment_approved versus status.

#18302 — theme_uri() with child themeChild theme A Child Theme is a customized theme based upon a Parent Theme. It’s considered best practice to create a child theme if you want to modify the CSS of your theme. https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/. inheritance, etc. Do we want this? Need this? Do we know exactly what use cases make sense and we want to support? Or is this a puntpunt Contributors sometimes use the verb "punt" when talking about a ticket. This means it is being pushed out to a future release. This typically occurs for lower priority tickets near the end of the release cycle that don't "make the cut." In this is colloquial usage of the word, it means to delay or equivocate. (It also describes a play in American football where a team essentially passes up on an opportunity, hoping to put themselves in a better position later to try again.)?

Dialogue on #19956 would be nice. I seem to recall the link/button _used_ to say Add Media. Some people seem to think it should make a comeback.
- Andrew Nacin 7:32 am on September 26, 2012
  
  @koopersmith is almost done with attachment inserting (into the editor) and editing (from the editor). The next step is to then add a new button for the 3.5 media workflow next to the old 3.4 button. (Obviously, only for betaBeta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process..) So I’ve just been waiting for him to drop something in.
  
  After, it’ll get covered in a UIUI User interface chat and will be part of user testing by @lessbloat.

#21914 is simple enough that I’d like to get it into 3.5 if possible. I’ll be around to talk about it.
- Andrew Nacin 4:50 pm on September 26, 2012
  
  This could use some basic unit tests, if only so the changes are clearly understandable with examples. I’m sold, otherwise.
John Blackbourn (johnbillion) 3:19 pm on September 26, 2012

#21632 – has anyone (@MarkJaquith?) contact Imgur about their maxwidth/maxheight problem? (Sorry, pot this comment in the wrong thread earlier)

No ticketticket Created for both bug reports and feature development on the bug tracker. currently, but — addition of a “Location” post format, for post which are primarily centered around a location (likely indicated with the recommended geo_latitude and geo_longitude postmeta).
- Andrew Nacin 4:48 pm on September 26, 2012
  
  Hmm. This sounds like a “Status” with geolocation. At the very least, a geolocation APIAPI An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways. should come first, I’d think.
John Blackbourn (johnbillion) 7:25 pm on September 26, 2012

I wonder if we should discuss the post format issue again which didn’t make it into discussion the other week as we ran out of time. Twenty Twelve doesn’t support all post formats and either a) it should or b) we should consider the adminadmin (and super admin) UIUI User interface displaying all formats regardless of the active theme.
Andrew Ozz 8:10 pm on September 26, 2012

How about #19845? The base code works well but drag-drop in the editor uploading would need to be integrated with the new media after all of it gets in.
