In reply to: Bug report: attachment URLs wrong for non-picsI’ve assigned the bug to Michael D. Adams, our file upload guru. Please follow the progress of that issue there:

In reply to: Atom 0.3 in 2.1!?!?!?!?Atom 1.0 will be in WP 2.2 — Matt checked in some patches already. And patches have gone in for APP support as well.
A decision was made early on about the inclusion of Atom 1.0 in WP 2.1 (namely: that it wouldn’t be). It made sense at the time, but as the release date slipped (and slipped, and slipped), the decision wasn’t revisited, and the people who were pushing it in early 2006 didn’t really speak up until after 2.1 was released.
2.1’s development cycle was far from ideal, and it’s something we’re trying to fix for 2.2 with a defined release date and easy ways for end users to voice feature suggestions. Because the development cycle will be so much shorter, there is less of a chance that early decisions will look outdated at the end of the cycle.
The above is just my take on it, and my level of influence on the project was much lower in early 2006 than it is now, so I’ll ping Matt on this and he can give you his take.

In reply to: WP 2.1 – Postmeta fields being deleted after comment is addedPlugin authors, check out this post.
Plugin users, you may want to consider deactivating the offending plugins until the plugin authors have had time to release updated versions. Monitor their sites.

In reply to: WP 2.1 – Postmeta fields being deleted after comment is addedOkay, I figured out what’s going on. Bottom line is that many plugins aren’t verifying user capabilities and intention when running
edit_postactions. I’ll be posting an article on the issue and how plugin authors can fix it.Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: WP 2.1 – Postmeta fields being deleted after comment is addedI was not able to reproduce this. I added a postmeta field to a post, and then tried commenting as a logged in user, as a regular visitor, and as a regular visitor with comment moderation on (which was subsequently approved). Nothing made the postmeta disappear.
I would guess that this is a plugin issue. You two should see which plugins you have in common so we can narrow it down!

In reply to: Overriding MethodSee the discussion here:
http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2721
Query filter doesn’t apply to you here… didn’t know what you wanted to do, so I just threw it out there.
I don’t think this can be easily done in WP 2.0.x, and I don’t think it can be done via a plugin, as you need to hook in before plugins are loaded.

In reply to: Overriding MethodThis requires WP 2.1
You provide
db.phpand place it inwp-content(NOT plugins)db.phphas something like this:
<?php
class my_wpdb extends wpdb {
function method_you_want_to_replace($foo) {
//yourcode
}
}
$wpdb = new my_wpdb(DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME, DB_HOST);
?>
At least, that’s how it should work in theory… this is new for 2.1
Also note that if it’s query filtering that you’re looking for, there is a new
queryfilter that gives you access to that (that’s in 2.1+ and 2.0.6+)Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Bad LinksClicking “Login” works for me… goes to wp-login.php, but something is wrong with your wp-admin directory… it’s not using index.php as the directory index.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Themes compatible with future versions?We try to maintain backwards compatibility in templates. There may be new template features that your template doesn’t support, but there will be plenty of people writing tutorials for adding that functionality. So your worst case scenario is likely that your template won’t support some new fancy feature, not that it’ll break.

In reply to: Problem with the upgrade…WordPress 2.1 requires MySQL version 4.0 or above… you likely are running a lower version.

In reply to: Too many static pages crashing database?Definitely looks like a scaling issue. I’ve opened up a ticket with a 2.2 milestone.

Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Question about licensing of plug-insYou’re allowed to sell GPL’d code. The unresolved question (last I heard) is whether or not plugins for WordPress must be GPL licensed.
Some say yes, some say no, some say it depends on the level of integration.

http://site.com/author/johnsmith/?cat=5You could probably do it the other way too… query the category via the pretty links and tack the author info into the query string.
