automattic / developer Goto Github PK

Not sure if this is something that should be fixed in the handbook, or in this plugin.

This page - https://make.wordpress.org/themes/handbook/get-involved/become-a-reviewer/ - lists the plugins you need to install when doing theme reviews, and says that you can install all of them through the Developer plugin. However, Query Monitor is not in the list of suggested plugins to install after activating the Developer plugin.

I receive the following error when installing recommended plugins:

Declaration of Automattic_Developer_Empty_Upgrader_Skin::request_filesystem_credentials() should be compatible with WP_Upgrader_Skin::request_filesystem_credentials($error = false, $context = false, $allow_relaxed_file_ownership = false) in /vagrant/content/plugins/developer/includes/class-empty-upgrader-skin.php on line 5

We're looking to do automated installs of the developer plugins for our clients, is there a possibility of adding an option called "test site for hosting provider" automatically during the install?

We use wp-cli to add and activate the plugin. It'd be nice to not have the customer answer the question the second they log in.

Using developer plugin I cannot seem to be able to activate Theme Check.
It seems to work but when I refresh it is still inactive.

And have it look for the JETPACK_DEV_DEBUG constant.

http://jetpack.me/2013/03/28/jetpack-dev-mode-release/

The transient name a8c_developer_plugin_details_{plugin} causes the option_name in the options table to exceed the maximum length when the transient timeout is stored.

Related ticket on core Trac: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/13310‎

get_plugin_details stores the entire API return value in transient. For some plugins (like Jetpack, with big changelogs), that's a lot of data. We should only store the data we need.

Going through the install/activate step for each plugin is annoying. Let's make it as one-click as possible.

Props to Siobhan McKeown for reporting this one.

It's a tool, not a setting. Let's be semantically correct.

Would it be possible to include Debug Meta Data plugin in Developer plugin?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/debug-meta-data/

Currently I person who's not acquainted with what all plugins do will be lost, not knowing which plugins to install and which not. And this is the exact target audience of the developer plugin.

We need to either add short descriptions, or links to the cool popup plugin pages, which are seen when searching or updating plugins.

Props to Siobhan McKeown for reporting this one.

When I have a 'recommended plugin' active network-wide on my site, it is listed as inactive on the Tools -> Developer screen.

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/chromium-webview/?format=TEXT

Not sure if this project is really active anymore, but I figured I'd mention the issue here anyway.

If you install the plugin, then go to: /wp-admin/tools.php?page=a8c_developer -- find something that says NOT INSTALLED -- then click on the title for that plugin.

The modal will pop up and it will say:

You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

Here is some output that might be useful:

$pagenow

string(18) "plugin-install.php"

$_wp_submenu_nopriv

array(5) {
  ["index.php"]=>
  array(1) {
    ["update-core.php"]=>
    bool(true)
  }
  ["link-manager.php"]=>
  array(2) {
    ["link-manager.php"]=>
    bool(true)
    ["link-add.php"]=>
    bool(true)
  }
  ["plugins.php"]=>
  array(2) {
    ["plugin-install.php"]=>
    bool(true)
    ["plugin-editor.php"]=>
    bool(true)
  }
  ["edit-tags.php?taxonomy=link_category"]=>
  array(2) {
    ["link-manager.php"]=>
    bool(true)
    ["link-add.php"]=>
    bool(true)
  }
  ["themes.php"]=>
  array(1) {
    ["theme-editor.php"]=>
    bool(true)
  }
}

and for good measure:

$_wp_menu_nopriv

array(1) {
  ["edit-tags.php?taxonomy=link_category"]=>
  bool(true)
}

The impact of course is installing any of those plugins OR reading about them in the modal isn't possible.

It makes it really easy to switch between different users and see what they're seeing

There's issue with VIP Scanner WordPress.com Rules update notice, you'll get it all the time. I posted about it on WP.org support forum, but maybe moving my suggested solution here would move things big faster.

I think "VIP Scanner WordPress.com Rules" is causing this. WP.com VIP Scanner extension PHP file also has plugin header, >but it misses version tag. It won't be a problem if this plugin where into separate folder, I guess it's related to how WP checks >plugin updates.

Proposed fix would be passing same version for "VIP Scanner WordPress.com Rules" as VIP Scanner has.

If a plugin install fails, it usually returns an instance of WP_Error, but not always. On developer.php, line 397, we need to check that $install_result is a WP_Error before calling get_error_message(), because it can be a boolean. Otherwise, you can get:

Fatal error: Call to a member function get_error_message() on a non-object in /{Web Server}/trunk/wp-content/plugins/developer/developer.php on line 397

If the WordPress install is using an SVN checkout of trunk, the developer plugin should detect that, reflect it in the UI, and not prompt to install the beta tester plugin

In Quickstart we don't show the plugins menu, so it's hard to find a way to deactivate recommended plugins once they're activated. I don't think this issue is specific to Quickstart, just more obvious. We should be able to deactivate plugins from the same place they're activated.

Hi!

Since this plugin promotes other plugins.. I would like to humbly submit my plugin.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/view-admin-as/

It has some crossover functionalities with User Switching since this one also handles switching users.

Info: (copied from wordpress.org):

Overview / Features

• Switch to the view of a user to see their capabilities and settings (admins are filtered!)
• Edit this user's screen preferences and settings
• Switch to a default view of a role
• Temporarily change your own capabilities (non-destructively)
• Do this all without loggin out and easily go back to your own (default) user view!

Module: Role defaults

• Set default screens for roles
• Apply defaults to a user
• Apply defaults to all users of a role
• Apply defaults when registering a new user (in a multisite this is done when a user is added to its first blog)

Features planned for future releases:

• Import/Export role defaults
• Network-wide role defaults (as optional)
• (Since this plugin requires the admin bar): Other options for view management beside the admin bar
• I've had a request for permanent capability management though I'm not sure yet if I want this plugin to handle permanent changes.
• Input and ideas for features are welcome

It would be awesome if this plugin could be featured. Take a look and let me know!

Regards, Jory

When plugin installation or activation fails, we present a cryptic "Error!" message. We should report what the error actually is so the user can correct it.

Now that we have Jetpack as a suggested plugin, which includes an improved version of Grunion (though not branded as that), we should remove Grunion from the list as it's redundant and no longer relevant.

我很抱歉

Is there a way to turn off the "... accepted your friendship request" emails for the friendships created automatically by the plugin? It seems as if all new users receives mass notification emails from the automatic friend requests.

RTL Tester
Regenerate Thumbnails
Theme Check

These show as inactive on the Developer admin page, even when active.

I am getting this error:

A few improvements related to the lightbox and admin view for installing recommended plugins:

• When listing any of the plugins, show the description for the plugin as well so you know what exactly the plugin does
• In the lightbox popup, have a move obvious button to close the lightbox. Something like "Get Developing!"
• On the "Automattic Developer Helper" page, make it more obvious the "Not Installed" link installs and activates a given plugin

Currently, constants cannot be recommended based on the project type, which is problematic when we need to add plugin specific constants, such as JETPACK_DEV_DEBUG.

Should allow constants to be defined in the same way plugins are.

Example: monster-widget is useful for Theme Developers and WP.com VIP.

Hello good people. This plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/what-the-file/ is super and should be invited to the party.

From the forums, the "Developer" link should only be added to the admin bar if the user has the appropriate permissions

All ajax calls should be updated to use the Deferred handlers .done() and .fail() instead.

What the title says.

causes fatal error on a wordpress.org supported php version.

For the theme developer mode, we should allow installing the Theme Unit Test sample data: http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Unit_Test

Core doesn't include the un-minified versions of external JavaScript libraries. But sometimes during development errors in those libraries occur and it would be useful if we could debug the source code directly.

For more details of where to find the latest versions, see: http://make.wordpress.org/core/2012/08/29/minified-versus-development-scripts-and-min-js/

On activation of this plugin, I'm unable to select the type of website I'm developing. I tried clicking on Theme for a self-hosted WordPress installation and my cursor won't select it. Any suggestions?

I'm setting up a VM for a client which installs and enables this plugin when running in a local development environment, and I would like to find a way to bypass having to have them select "Developing a plugin for a self-hosted install" and opting out of the other recommended add-ons. Is this possible? I can see where the code is written in admin_init but I haven't been able to find a way to suppress or pre-fill the options.

Should include the following plugins (suggested by the WordPress.com Theme Team):

• RTL Tester: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rtl-tester/
• Pig Latin
• Regenerate Thumbnails
• Reveal IDs
• Theme Test Drive
• Theme Check

If possible, throw in a promo to _s and other cool starter themes.
