Hey Mod Squad, wanna hang out?

Howdy y’all, I know that we can sometimes be like ships crossing in the night when we mod videos, and aside from the odd P2P2 P2 or O2 is the term people use to refer to the Make WordPress blog. It can be found at https://make.wordpress.org/. post, and videos moving in and out of the queue, it’s hard to tell that you are not working alone.

With that in mind, I wanted to ask how you feel about having a semi-regular IRC hangout to, you know, hang out. What do you say? Does this sound like a good idea? Let’s get something on the calendar! 🙂

I scheduled a WordCamp Chicago video Jamie Sanchez: Admin as a User Experience Talk. I tried to use the link provided by WordCamp Chicago but when I previewed the video the link did not work, see: http://jamiesanchez.com/wp-content/uploads/jamie-sanchez-wcchi2014-admin-as-a-user-experience.pdf

I went to her website and used this link: http://jamiesanchez.com/adventures/wcchi-2014-talk/ The page has a link to the slides and it worked.

Could someone take a look and see what I was doing wrong?

Thanks.

A note about the slide links.

If a slide link is available then please include the link even if the slides are cut in the video. Often there is information (code examples, links, graphs ,etc.) on the slides. If someone wants this information later then it is much easier to click the slide link and scan the slides than to load the video and fast forward it and find the exact place with the information. Makes for happier viewing 🙂

Open Source **must be** delivered via a licensing model, see GPL. Bridge conference today, so we will not be able to attend today’s scheduled meeting. Coincidentally, I’ll be attending a session at that time about how other projects recognize contributors. If you all want to meet without us, have at it. You can set an agenda here in the comments, or you can just chat in the channel, or you can take the week off meeting-wise and we can re-convene next week.

I thought it would be nice to have a list of the special “moderators tags” that have been used in the past to tag videos.

Basically they fall into technical issues, content issues, ready to publish and ready for the trashTrash Trash in WordPress is like the Recycle Bin on your PC or Trash in your Macintosh computer. Users with the proper permission level (administrators and editors) have the ability to delete a post, page, and/or comments. When you delete the item, it is moved to the trash folder where it will remain for 30 days..
They are all caps except for the “public SPAM” tag.

“Technical Issue Tags”
INCOMPLETE UPLOAD
INCOMPLETE VIDEO
NO VIDEO
POOR AUDIO

DUPLICATE VIDEO

“Content Issue Tags”
NOT GPLGPL GPL is an acronym for GNU Public License. It is the standard license WordPress uses for Open Source licensing https://wordpress.org/about/license/. The GPL is a ‘copyleft’ license https://www.gnu.org/licenses/copyleft.en.html. This means that derivative work can only be distributed under the same license terms. This is in distinction to permissive free software licenses, of which the BSD license and the MIT License are widely used examples.

GSoC: SupportPress as a plugin

I am currently working on converting SupportPress (a standalone application powered by BackPress) to a WordPress 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 SupportFlow. It is currently in development on Github. It provides all the features that were present in SupportPress as well as introduce new features. Its development is nearly finished and we need feedback on it. In the upcoming days I am uploading it to a public web site so that anyone can test it without need to install it. Meanwhile if anyone is interested he/she can download it from here.

 

Here is what have done so far:

  • Adding multiple IMAP/SMTP accounts.
  • Sending/receiving thread replies
  • Uploading multiple attachments
  • Subscribe for E-Mail notifications for a particular tag
  • Ability to create and insert predefined replies into the post
  • Filtering tickets by tags, owner…
  • Setting user permission to access tickets from a particular tag or E-Mail ID.
