In reply to: How should we use local svn with the new upgrade system?All I’m after is the official point releases and plugin updates, rather than bleeding edge stuff. The various client sites I code for don’t usually have shell access either.
I’m going to go with just managing the theme folder under svn and let WP update itself on the server for now.

In reply to: 2.7 New admin interfaceThe concept behind the 2.7 interface is sound, but I have to say the execution lets it down a bit. It needs a lot of polish.
The previous version was clean and well spaced, but there’s a lot of noise and unintuitive UI in 2.7b3.
Some initial observations:
- Menu typography is serifed, while everything else is sans. This looks like a mistake, rather than intentional style.
- The pale grey everywhere looks anaemic. A little colour to prioritise the current task/section would help a lot.
- The menu icons don’t actually help as visual shortcuts. I need to read the text to interpret them.
edit: just exported the latest copy from svn out of curiosity and found a good few of my points addressed! I’ve truncated my list accordingly.
those backticks shouldn’t be there in your example
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); define('DB_COLLATE', '');

In reply to: Images upload but no thumbnails or previewI’m still struggling with this to no avail. I’ve deleted/recreated the wp-content/uploads folder, set it to 777 and tried to upload. The file uploads, but no subfolders (year/month) or thumbnails are created. The file appears in “Browse All” as a text link only.

In reply to: set body id to page_name for PagesBecause it would be infinitely simpler to just have an ID paramter in the body tag of one Page template, rather than a unique Page template for every page that has to be kept in sync with all the others. There may be lots of pages ( >25 ).

In reply to: Images upload but no thumbnails or previewI’ve added those two amends to the code, but my uploads are going directly to wp-content/uploads and not wp-content/uploads/2006/04 – the original and thumbnail are being created, but uploaded to the wrong place!

In reply to: Upload works but I can’t browse or browse allThis sounds like the same issue I’m facing, though I’m not getting a successful upload at all. I just get the text (alt text?) in the browse/browse all of nay images I try to upload. Earlier versions of 2.0 uploaded fine.
Also: is WP correctly filing the images in the year/month subdirs? I only have /2006/01/ on my server, but it holds files from Feb and Mar 2006 (and none from Jan)

In reply to: Upgrading from 2.0 to 2.0.1Is there any plan to reorganise the file structure of WordPress in the future? Even minor upgrades seem more than a little intimidating to perform when ensuring that all the customised files are preserved and the app files are overwritten.
I’d love to see things reorganised into something like two distinct folders – one for user content (plugins, language files, images, etc) and one for back-end application files that don’t get edited by the user. Then every upgrade would be a case of replacing the app folder.

In reply to: how to recreate db’s “nice names” for imported content?hmm, I was afraid that might be the case.
I guess my next question is: could anyone suggest the necessary PHP code to do it?

In reply to: Can I edit WP Theme in Dreamweaver?I use DW, but only in code view for the same reasons kyte mentions. It’s very handy to have it prompt your CSS as you type, and then cmd-shift-U to quickly upload and test your changes.
Unfortunately, there’s so much dynamic content in the templates that DW simply doesn’t know what half of the final markup is going to be before the server processes it.
If you’re feeling adventurous, one option would be to setup a local apache/php/mysql test server and use Dreamweaver’s Test Server / Live View functions to work on the dynamically generated stuff.

In reply to: How does WP perform with a large db?nice.
are there any recommended maintenance practices that’d help it along as it grows, or is it fairly self-maintaining?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: pagination again – need how-toI’d really like an option for comment pagination too. I’m setting my archives up in a vBB / ezBoard style and would also like the ( 1 2 3 … 10 ) links next to topic names.
Can anyone suggest a plugin that might serve this purpose?
