Fields API chat summary – October 5th, 2015

Logs: https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/core-fields/s1444021200000000

  • I just got 100 hours from 10up to work on Fields API!
  • I will be working on getting the WP 4.3 CustomizerCustomizer Tool built into WordPress core that hooks into most modern themes. You can use it to preview and modify many of your site’s appearance settings. changes put into the Fields 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., my first pass doesn’t have unit tests passing yet
  • We’ll be fleshing out Control classes, based on Customizer control classes and expand the main control class into individual classes as opposed to a ‘switch’
  • We laid out a few implementations we’d like to get into prototyping
    • User profile fields (piggy backing existing UIUI User interface of section heading + fields) @sc0ttkclark
    • Settings API (cue the oooh’s and aaah’s sound effect) @sc0ttkclark
    • Post editor (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. boxes + fields) @tomharrigan
    • WidgetWidget A WordPress Widget is a small block that performs a specific function. You can add these widgets in sidebars also known as widget-ready areas on your web page. WordPress widgets were originally created to provide a simple and easy-to-use way of giving design and structure control of the WordPress theme to the user. forms @nicholas_io
    • Future: Term editor (sections + fields)
    • Future: Comment forms?
  • We want to improve the main Fields API readme to better explain the project, offer more links to information about the Customizer API since it’s what we based the Fields API on, and flesh out more examples
  • We need more examples, so any use-cases we can put together for any object type, would be handy to start putting that code together (structures, not custom implementations or overrides)

We certainly could use additional contributors involved with the project, especially as we seek to start more implementation prototypes of how things could work. Just hop into SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. #core-fields or check out our Github repo. Over the next 5 weeks my involvement in the project will be greatly increased, so if you are going to get involved — now would be the right timing!

Next chat: Monday 20:00 UTC 2015 (every Monday)

Performance improvements, code optimization, and are considered enhancements, not defects.

It still some work to go, as it’ll involve overriding some methods deep in mce.view.

oEmbed Chat Summary – July 20th, 2015

Yesterday we held our first weekly chat in #feature-oembed. Hooray! There were quite a few participants already, which is great.

Logs can be found here: https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/feature-oembed/p1437426031000036

Summary:

  • There’s a proof-of-concept oEmbed implementation in the develop branch on 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/ (demo):
  • We agreed on keeping the embeds simple and minimally styled.
  • As expected, there was quite a discussion about the direction to pursue. There are basically two ways for doing this:
    1. WordPress has an oEmbed endpoint and returns HTMLHTML HyperText Markup Language. The semantic scripting language primarily used for outputting content in web browsers. people can embed
    2. WordPress has no endpoint. We scrape the referenced websites to get data for a preview. Kinda like Facebook, SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. or Twitter show previews for links.
  • We decided on first finishing the HTML, as we need that anyway. After that we can focus on the next steps.

Development happens on GitHub, where we’ll be filing a couple of issues to work on until Monday. Anyone is welcome to contribute to the 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.

Two-Factor Authentication — First Weekly Meeting!

Our very first first weekly meeting will be July 23rd, 2015 at 15:00 EDT in the #core-passwords channel on SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/..

We’ll be addressing some varied issues such as:

  • meeting times (is this a good time for everyone? Is earlier/later better?)
  • Two-Factor Providers, who is working on each.
  • Open Issues.
  • Code Reviews.
  • etc.

As I’m going on Paternity leave in mid-September for a bit, I’m also hoping that over the next few weeks we can collectively find someone else willing to take up the mantle and push Two-Factor forward in my absence.

For anyone else just new to this, who is wondering what the deuce I’m talking about, Two-Factor is a feature proposal for core to introduce two-factor support in the interest of greater security and paving the cowpaths with a standard api for plugins to extend to provide their own two-factor providers. Active development is currently on GitHub here ==> https://github.com/georgestephanis/two-factor — and I’m happy to add any regular core contributors as contributors on the repo — just ask during our meeting or in the comments below!

  • A list of those involved or already interested in your feature plugin (including you!)
  • What you’d like help with (scoping, planning, wireframing, development, design, etc).

Again, this post and the accompanying chat is for posting ideas that you’d be interested in working on. It is not for posting every feature idea you have for WordPress.

Current feature plugin leads: Please post an update for your plugin here, along with the information above.

We’ll go through current feature plugins at a brisk pace, then talk about the new ones that are forming.

See you tomorrow!
