Pre-hysterics

Looks like the little lady and I will be making a rare appearance at one of these here "blog" meetups. Looks like I'll need to get my tux out of the mothballs and polish my spats.

Anybody coming who might still have my blog in their RSS feeds?

I opened a bottle

I opened a bottle and in I strode.
Now nobody can find me.
I’ve left my chair, my house, my road,
my town and my world behind me.

I’m wearing the cloak, I’ve slipped on the ring,
I’ve swallowed the magic potion.
I’ve fought with a dragon, dined with a king
and dived in a bottomless ocean.

I opened a bottle and made some friends.
I shared their tears and laughter
and followed their road with its bumps and bends
to the happily ever after.

I finished my bottle and out I came.
The cloak can no longer hide me.
My chair and my house are just the same,
but I have a bottle inside me.

With apologies to Julia Donaldson: that last part is a little creepy.

WP Compat Issues

  • [fixed] Creating a post appears to ignore the publish / draft setting; posted as published
  • [fixed] Create Post with New Category Creates the category correctly, but doesn't add the category to the post; converting back to draft works as designed
  • [fixed] Create Post with existing category assigns the catogory
  • Pasting a photo into a post fails to upload it
  • Posts defined as Pages are show alongside blog posts
  • Embedded media in posts (when URLs are posted for example) cause an error, but post is added successfully
  • [fixed] Can't upload images for some reason; I think this needs to be moved over to xgallery (expects a record of all uploaded content, I guess, and not just a URL provided at upload time). According to the logs, this is a wpUploadFile call.
  • Aside: pasting a bunch of markdown into the wordpress client works pretty good, converting headers, etc. Will need to try when it has a link
  • [fixed] The "post format" option when publishing is not available. Need to look into where this would come from (getOptions?)
  • Moving post to Trash does not work (“wp.deletePost not supported”)
  • [fixed] Updating a post with multiple categories leaves it assigned to one category (the old one?)
  • [fixed]Changing category on existing post doesn’t save the new category. it appears that wp.updatePost doesn’t handle categories well.

Web Issue List

This is a list of running issues outstanding on the site:

  • [fixed] Blogroll now showing on index page
  • About box not showing on blog pages
  • Readability box shows on posts even when not logged in
  • Podcasts throws a 404
  • Gallery throws a 500 ("Invalid filter: 'thumbnail'")
  • [fixed] (unicode issue) Gallery even throws a 500 in the admin console when you go to “new Item”. Got to fix that. There’s not really another way to add an image to a post without that.
  • Num comments / pingbacks should be in the post header above tags
  • Gallery even throws a 500 in the admin console when you go to “new Item”. Got to fix that. There’s not really another way to add an image to a post without that.

Post detail could be a little better: - add an edit button
