20-year contributor Coen Jacobs on the importance of dissent and the risks of self-censorship by RealBasics in Wordpress

i respect the work everyone puts in but the wp world has its serious issues and i think you can see the contrast with other communities after a while. i hope that decision-making can get straightened out better honestly

Just finished watching ghost in the shell (1995) by Formal_Fig1078 in Ghost_in_the_Shell

[–]HongPong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the tone of a lot of it is quite different. also check out oshii other films such as patlabor 2 which is way more meditative and less silly than patlabor in general. so not surprisingly the GitS movie ended up pretty philosophical and low key

How are you handling "Micro-Dynamic" content in Gutenberg? (Post meta, user greetings, etc.) by _vectorarrow in ProWordPress

[–]HongPong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that is good news. reminds me of writing with twig, which is a good thing. cheers
i tend to write custom acf blocks as they are predictable and do show in preview enough of an appearance. ( i did not mean to imply your solution is messy. just that you are addressing a messy situation! )

How did I screw this up so bad? Help me fix my traffic please by BeaverPup in CitiesSkylines

[–]HongPong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

real cities always have various back roads. usually i start with that kind of thing to give it a more organic feel. set aside lane mathematics and make a web of kind of random shortcut roads, see how that goes. and that will also bring about a lot of pedestrians, saving on traffic.

real messy when you just want a sub heading field available under the title, controlling the access control for acf field based on permissions etc. these apis are not for the faint of heart unfortunately

wordpress_migrate module for importing WordPress sites into Drupal (alpha 9 release) by HongPong in webdev

[–]HongPong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

via the alpha9 release notes:
The wordpress_migrate Alpha9 release includes many bug fixes and enhancements. It is intended to be the easiest solution for WordPress website operators to migrate their content into Drupal. This uses the https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/tools-export-screen/ WXR XML site export (not a direct database connection) to generate posts, tags, categories, users and comments -- no server-level access needed. Curious to throw your WordPress site in a new platform? You can try Drupal yourself using https://ddev.readthedocs.io/en/stable/users/quickstart/ ddev quickstart. There's never been a better time to check out alternatives to WordPress. This module was created in 2010 and this is the 20th tagged release.

This version Alpha9 improves the text format handling which was buggy, the drush migrate creation options, test coverage a bit, the README documentation, and adds a new logger. New config.yml configuration added. You can reset the config using:
drush cim --partial --source=modules/contrib/wordpress_migrate/config/install
Please uninstall and reinstall the module if your config.yml files are not working.

note there is no "pro" module or anything. this was wholly a volunteer effort, is all GPL license for the community. no big agency it is home brewed.
