After several quietish weeks in the dev chat, this week’s agenda post was brimming with suggested topics. It’s really too many to fit into an hour, so I’m listing them all here in order of priority based on relevance to the on-time release of 2.9, along with the amount of time I’d like to allot to discussion. Since we’re short on time, we can continue discussions on a bunch of these here on the blogblog (versus network, site), in tracTrac An open source project by Edgewall Software that serves as a bug tracker and project management tool for WordPress. tickets, and/or prioritize for a future dev chat.

  • 2.9 Media features update (30) — image editing, oembed, UIUI User interface, post thumbnails, gallery/albums, custom image sizes
  • Brief discussion of ticketticket Created for both bug reports and feature development on the bug tracker. etiquette (5)
  • SimplePie future (5)
  • PluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party. Repo: how to make it more secure (5) — I think this deserves its own dedicated discussion. Would like to use this 5 minutes just to identify who is most interested in brainstorming ideas around this.
  • WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/: credits to other products and contributors (5) — This should really fall under discussions around changes to wordpress.org site, and will also need more time. Again, would just like to identify people interested in brainstorming on this.
  • https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10882 (5) — discussion has already happened on the ticket (and its related ticket), so will just get an official decision from core team. Ryan will attend the chat.
  • IRCIRC Internet Relay Chat, a network where users can have conversations online. IRC channels are used widely by open source projects, and by WordPress. The primary WordPress channels are #wordpress and #wordpress-dev, on irc.freenode.net. OPs permissions for sivel and Viper007Bond (5) — meant to have been added, but hasn’t happened yet, just a check in with Matt (if he attends) to find out status of adding them as OPs.

I’m at Ryan’s for today’s meeting, and we are working on 2.9 stuff, so keeping this meeting fast and on schedule will help us all. 🙂

Image Editor

The “first run” of a simple image editor has been in WordPress 2.9-rare for about two weeks. It lets the user crop, flip and rotate an image. It also has an option to scale the original (largest) image and to restore the originally uploaded version. There is a multi-step undo and redo support. Changes can be applied to all image sizes or only the thumbnail. The initial code is by Stephan Reiter author of the Scissors 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..

Currently when saving an edited image all previous intermediate image sizes are kept and the 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. data for them (filename, width, height) is moved to another postmeta field. This is necessary to avoid breaking any posts or pages where the image was inserted. The editing workflow (multi-undo, preview of each step) makes it unnecessary to edit an image more than once or twice, however if an image is edited 6-7 times the backup files would be 25-30.

There are couple of ways to avoid keeping unnecessary images, we could either track when an image was used in a post or a page, or we could have “standard” names for the intermediate image sizes. Tracking image use can be somehow problematic considering all the different ways content can be published in WordPress.

Renaming the resized images from [imagename]-150×100 to [imagename]-thumbnail, etc. seems the more viable option. This would also bring instant image updates in already published posts, however may also have some compatibility problems with plugins that expect the image size to be part of the filename.

Trac ticket for the image editor, suggestions and patches welcome 🙂
