We discussed the problems with the MeetupMeetup All local/regional gatherings that are officially a part of the WordPress world but are not WordCamps are organized through https://www.meetup.com/.

Thanks to @grapplerulrich, The Meta Environment has been updated to conform with the TLD restrictions recently implemented in most major browsers (.dev can no longer be used). So all of the sites in the Meta environment now use .test, which is what the rest of VVV now uses as well.

So, as a PSA, make sure you re-provision your Meta Environment! It might be a good opportunity to also pull the latest from VVV and just do a clean build of everything.

Recap of WordCamp.org ticket scrub on November 21st

It was the first ticket scrub in a month, and we had a bit of a backlog.

#3117-meta

The scope of this ticket has evolved to basically be a rewrite of the `schedule` shortcodeShortcode A shortcode is a placeholder used within a WordPress post, page, or widget to insert a form or function generated by a plugin in a specific location on your site. to use CSSCSS CSS is an acronym for cascading style sheets.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) (+make.wordpress.org/accessibility). We also discussed if/how to add a field to each session to specify either the duration of the session or the ending time. Between the two, there was a slight preference for duration, though it was also noted that it would be best if the field was optional, and the schedule logic could guess the end time based on the start time of the next session.

#2992-meta

@casiepa is making progress on this ticket, and will post implementation questions to the ticket soon.

#3259-meta

We discussed the best alternative approach to distinguishing email subject lines and landed on adding the feedback post’s post ID to the end of the string. @casiepa is working on a patch.

#2907-meta

@sergeybiryukov will work on reviewing the current patch for security. @coreymckrill will do some functionality testing.

Recap of WordCamp.org ticket scrub on October 24th

We discussed these tickets:

  • #1794 – The approach discussed in the ticket sounds good and should move forward. @kenshino is working on a patch.
  • #2501 – We decided that it wasn’t a good idea to switch to an `npm` module, because that brings a lot of complexity around dependency maintenance and security. Instead, we can just fix the small issue that exists in the current code. If anyone is looking to learn ReactReact React is a JavaScript library that makes it easy to reason about, construct, and maintain stateless and stateful user interfaces. https://reactjs.org/., this ticket would be a good start.
  • #3035 – The new taxonomyTaxonomy A taxonomy is a way to group things together. In WordPress, some common taxonomies are category, link, tag, or post format. https://codex.wordpress.org/Taxonomies#Default_Taxonomies. sounds good. @kau-boy is working on a patch.
  • #3199 – The patch here looks good and was committed after the meeting.
  • #2907 – This one is in good shape, and is ready for a security review. @sergeybiryukov is going to look into that.
  • #859 – The patch here looks good and was committed after the meeting.
  • #3190 – The patch here looks good and was committed after the meeting. It probably doesn’t solve the problem, though. It looks like the problem might be fixed by manually setting the `From` headerHeader The header of your site is typically the first thing people will experience. The masthead or header art located across the top of your page is part of the look and feel of your website.

We determined that this issue is a fairly obscure edge case, as it only affects WordCamp schedules when viewing them in iOSiOS The operating system used on iPhones and iPads. Safari while in Reader mode. A good solution to the issue was not immediately clear to the group. We decided to add a screenshot of the issue and downgrade its priority level for the time being.

#3111-meta

@Kau-Boy volunteered to take on this ticket, using an approach very similar to previous work done on the [sponsors] shortcodeShortcode A shortcode is a placeholder used within a WordPress post, page, or widget to insert a form or function generated by a plugin in a specific location on your site..

Recap of WordCamp.org ticket scrub on September 26th

Participants: @coreymckrill @grapplerulrich @miss_jwo @kau-boy @ryelle @sergeybiryukov

We started off by discussing some strategies for managing WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. tickets in 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. TracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.https://core.trac.wordpress.org/.. Historically, when new tickets have been created, an admin such as @iandunn or @coreymckrill has reviewed the ticket and “accepted” it as a way of marking it as a valid issue. The side effect of this has been that they are then “assigned” to that ticket, even if they intend to leave it as a “good-first-bug” for someone else. A lack of clarity around the meaning of an “assigned” user on a ticket may cause some people to pass over tickets that are actually available to work on.

@coreymckrill proposed that instead of accepting a ticket, it should be left as “new”, but relevant keywords such as “needs-patch” and “good-first-bug” should still be added. Then when someone submits a patch or indicates that they want to work on a ticket, they can be assigned to it. This would have a couple of benefits:

  • Easier to see which tickets are not being worked on yet
  • Easier to follow up with a ticket assignee if nothing has happened on it for a while

The group had general agreement that this strategy would be worth trying. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be a way in Trac to unassign a ticket and return it to “new” status, so this will only apply to new tickets going forward.

#2851-meta

This is an issue that @miss_jwo has personally experienced. She volunteered to work on a patch, so @coreymckrill officially “assigned” it to her 🙂 A bit more research also needs to be done to determine the exact conditions that cause the issue.

#3116-meta

The discussion here revolved around whether adding a heading parameter to each of the WordCamp CPT shortcodes is the best solution, as opposed to something like a feature flag (i.e. “all sites created after a certain date will show an H3 heading level instead of an H2”). The group decided on sort of a hybrid approach:

  • Add a new heading parameter that defaults to H2 for back-combat
  • Update the content in post/page stubs for new WordCamp sites so that the shortcodes include the heading parameter with the desired H3 specified.

@kau-boy volunteered to work on this ticket.

#3156-meta

Several of us learned why adding a separate singular placeholder translation is necessary for some languages. @coreymckrill will commit the patch and follow up with the submitter about some minor code styling issues.

I will be AFK on 2017-09-12, so the next WordCamp.org Ticket Scrub meeting will be in four weeks, 2017-09-26 19:00 UTC, in #meta-wordcamp.

Here is a summary of this week’s discussion:

Participants: @coreymckrill @sergeybiryukov @xkon

#859-meta

The latest patch from @grapplerulrich is ready to commit. @coreymckrill will add a slight wording tweak to it to clarify the Coming Soon notification:

Coming Soon mode is enabled. Site subscribers will not receive email notifications about published posts.

#1109-meta

After the last scrub, @iandunn provided some clarification about the functionality in the current patch for this ticket:

If we don’t create menus at all, then the layout often breaks because the custom CSSCSS CSS is an acronym for cascading style sheets. This is what controls the design or look and feel of a site. assumes that they’re there. It wouldn’t make sense to add links to missing pages, though, and there aren’t any pages on the destination site yet, so it seemed like creating menus with just a Home link was the best we could do.

… I wonder if we could copy over the menu items for links that do exist on the destination site? A lot of pages like Location, Contact, etc are pre-populated, so they’ll exist. We could just skip the pages that don’t exist.

We decided it would be best to pursue the additional functionality suggested by Ian before committing, so that the menus wouldn’t just contain a “Home” link, which could be just as confusing as a broken layout.

@coreymckrill will update the ticket to see if the patch author wants to try making the update.

#1751-meta

The patches provided by @kau-boy look good. @coreymckrill will do an additional round of local testing and then commit them, and then @kau-boy can update the handbook with documentation on the new shortcodeShortcode A shortcode is a placeholder used within a WordPress post, page, or widget to insert a form or function generated by a plugin in a specific location on your site. attributes.

#2907-meta

This one has an extensive patch from @xkon that has already been tested successfully on wptranslationday.org.

@sergeybiryukov and I held down the fort for this week’s ticket scrub.

Here is a summary of this week’s discussion:

It already has a patch, but @coreymckrill was unsure if this was really a desired behavior. While the navigation menuNavigation Menu A theme feature introduced with Version 3.0.

@coreymckrill said he would follow up on the ticket to clarify the intent and usefulness of the change.

Great attendance for our first-ever WordCamp.org ticket scrub!

The next WordCamp.org Ticket Scrub meeting will be in two weeks, 2017-08-15 19:00 UTC, in #meta-wordcamp.

Here is a summary of this week’s discussion:

#2907-meta

This patch makes some significant changes to the Instagram source in the Tagregator 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.

The current patch submitted by @xkon uses raw cURL commands, which is not ideal for compatibility. The suggested change was to try using `wp_remote_get` or `wp_remote_post` instead. @ryelle volunteered to help test this and other Tagregator patches. (#2100-meta, #3003-meta)

#2934-meta

This ticket has a patch from @rmarks that partially addresses the issue. @coreymckrill said he would try to get that patch committed, and suggested fixes for other parts of the issue should go in a separate patch.

#859-meta

We discussed the patch for this ticket recently submitted by @grappleulrich. One aspect of the patch was to prevent users from publishing posts while Coming Soon mode is enabled, so that site subscribers wouldn’t get an email notification of a new post that might be incomplete and that they wouldn’t actually be able to access. As a group, we agreed that disabling the Publish button would actually be confusing and that there are times when you might want to publish a post while still in Coming Soon mode. Instead, we decided to change the approach so that email notifications are disabled in Coming Soon mode, and there is a warning near the Publish button to notify users that their post won’t be emailed to subscribers if they publish while still in Coming Soon mode.

#574-meta

This is an old ticket with an old patch. We agreed that the feature described would still be useful, but the patch probably needs to be updated before it will be compatible with the current version of CampTix. @coreymckrill said he would move the ticket over to the CampTix GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers.
