We’re digging in full bore to get things done by freeze. #19978 is the primary ticketticket Created for both bug reports and feature development on the bug tracker..

Tasks that need to happen by Wed Feb 29:

  • Finish the styling (Drew)
  • CSSCSS Cascading Style Sheets. file cleanup (Lance)
  • RTL stylesheet
  • Editor stylesheet

The last big missing piece for styling is post formats.

Update Wed Feb 29: see my comment below.

Team Gandalf Update

Last week marked the end of our second cycle and the beginning of our sprint to get things done. We began by doing just that: last Friday, we merged the theme customizer into core. There’s still quite a bit to do and polish, so please keep that in mind. Development is being tracTrac An open source project by Edgewall Software that serves as a bug tracker and project management tool for WordPress.(k)ed at #19910.

In the past week, we’ve introduced better JSJS JavaScript, a web scripting language typically executed in the browser. Often used for advanced user interfaces and behaviors. APIs, working preview navigation (you can click URLs and it works, hooray), namespaced attributes (which will allow us to enable form submission within previews), and more. We also uncovered and fixed a fairly insane 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. that stemmed from a low-level bug in Opera’s JS engine. Good times.

Moving forward, the main goals are to integrate more setting types (headers, widgets), improve the refreshing process, polish the UIUI User interface, and remove any vestigial pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

Dominik’s time will be limited over the next few weeks due to exams, so if any of this sounds exciting to you, please let me know.

Team Update: Bugs-RPC

Unfortunately nothing happened for us this cycle. Since I will be out for awhile starting in a few days it has been proposed that the two XML-RPC teams be merged together.

Team Update: Browsing Buddies

@getsource (DH-Shredder) spent some more time over the past week working with @dkoopersmith refining the infinite scroll JSJS JavaScript, a web scripting language typically executed in the browser. Often used for advanced user interfaces and behaviors. for #19815, which was committed earlier today. We briefly discussed having more results/pagination for some of the other theme-install.php tabs with @nacin (requires changes on the 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. end), as well as the recurring thought that perhaps the featured tab should show first. Therefore, the other patchpatch A special text file that describes changes to code, by identifying the files and lines which are added, removed, and altered. It may also be referred to as a diff. A patch can be applied to a codebase for testing. that restricted the JS enqueue to the theme-install.php search tab only was not committed for the time being.

After reviewing some comps with @jane, we started on the display of multiple screenshots. An initial rough patch will be up on #19816 soon. We still need to hash out the details of retrieving multiple screenshots, both in get_themes() and from the .org API, and how those images will be added to the extended details div without displaying in no JS, as discussed when first scoping the feature. We also need to take into consideration what happens when the window is resized. Provided that we can get that sorted out tomorrow, it looks like we’re on target for the cycle.

I wrote the Theme Review Team and gave them an update on the anticipated screenshot sizes, which will remain at 300×225 (4:3), constrained by CSSCSS Cascading Style Sheets.. Gandalf functions as the large screenshot 🙂 The screenshots in the list table view will be enlarged to match, as there is more space now that details are hidden by default.

Team Update: Twenty Twelve

We are still plugging away at theme styles and related code changes. See the task list on our last update for the exact things we’re working on and who’s working on what.

I’ll keep that list updated as we continue to crank on the theme.

Team Gandalf Update

Yesterday marked the halfway point of our second cycle. We’re moving along at a steady clip. The main goal for the coming week is to tie up any loose ends and begin integrating the pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

The Core Development Team builds WordPress.. Until then, follow our progress at #19910 and in the plugin repo.

We’ve made considerable progress in the past week. We completed a first pass for menu locations and have almost all of the elements we need for custom backgrounds (all that remains is the file upload dialog and fixing the color picker). We also added the ability to alter/choose a static front pageStatic Front Page A WordPress website can have a dynamic blog-like front page, or a “static front page” which is used to show customized content. Typically this is the first page you see when you visit a site url, like wordpress.org for example. within the customization (as decided in dev chat yesterday). Under the hood, we’ve made numerous improvements including working APIs (including rendering controls, previewing, and saving) for theme_mods and options, proper handling of multidimensional IDs, and a whole bunch of bugbug A bug is an error or unexpected result.

Team Update: Headerators

We’ve pretty much wrapped up flexible headers (#17242) for both width and height. We’re currently reviewing a patchpatch A special text file that describes changes to code, by identifying the files and lines which are added, removed, and altered. It may also be referred to as a diff. A patch can be applied to a codebase for testing. on #19840 and hope to have that finished this cycle. Our next project will be to work with Team Gandalf to help integrate flexible headers into their theme preview.

The rest of the time was spent on polishing the code for Infinite Scroll for the Themes screens, including prevention of loading themes.js on unnecessary tabs, throttling for the scroll event, general cleanup, and a move to use Deferred for AJAX requests.

Team Update: Twenty Twelve

We are currently plugging away at fixing up missing styles around the new theme.

r19915 brings in several of these style fixes and related template changes (see #19978).

Next up is more of the same, including styling comments, handling the main navigation gracefully in small screens, styling all the default widgets, and styling the basic post formats (aside, link, image, quote).

If anyone wants to help out a bit, we could use eyes on #19627 — the “default to static front pageStatic Front Page A WordPress website can have a dynamic blog-like front page, or a “static front page” which is used to show customized content. Typically this is the first page you see when you visit a site url, like wordpress.org for example.” behavior.

Our first cycle closed on Friday. Only three of the original tickets on our list have been committed so far, with others at various steps closer to commit readiness.

The plan for our second cycle is to continue wrap on our original ticketticket Created for both bug reports and feature development on the bug tracker. list. If that completes with time left over we’ll begin adding more test code to @westi‘s new RPC test code.
