I’m a little confused how to best communicate small changes to the code to developers or see what the status is. Is there a mailing list somewhere? A feed somewhere that displays CVS updates? * Forum: [Requests and Feedback](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/requests-and-feedback/) In reply to: [Suggestions for Hacks, Ad-Ons or Improvements?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/suggestions-for-hacks-ad-ons-or-improvements/) * [zeno](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zeno/) * (@zeno) * [22 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/suggestions-for-hacks-ad-ons-or-improvements/page/4/#post-27578) * How about modifying filters so that they pre-process (when a post/comment is submitted) instead of post-process every time a page is loaded? Yeah, probably not incredibly simple, but wouldn’t that be a fairly wonderful thing? * Forum: [Requests and Feedback](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/requests-and-feedback/) In reply to: [db password hashes](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/db-password-hashes/) * [zeno](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zeno/) * (@zeno) * [22 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/db-password-hashes/#post-25232) * *bump* All hashes, all the time, no need for options, simply generate a random password and let the user change it when they lose theirs. Simply add plaintext- >md5 to the upgrade script. Simply use md5($password) to do it, very little code work needs to be done. That thing about sending your password as md5:blah is a little silly, isn’t it? If someone intercepts that, it’s just as useful to them as intercepting the real password. Unless, of course, you use the same password over an unencrypted form that you use to secure sentitive encrypted information. If so…well, you shouldn’t. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [lost password](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-password/) * [zeno](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zeno/) * (@zeno) * [22 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-password/#post-28375) * Amazingly, user passwords are stored in **plaintext** in the database. So simply login to your mySQL server and type `select user_login, user_pass from users`. * Forum: [Requests and Feedback](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/requests-and-feedback/) In reply to: [Hey all, and loads of Feedback](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hey-all-and-loads-of-feedback/) * [zeno](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zeno/) * (@zeno) * [22 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hey-all-and-loads-of-feedback/#post-28350) * Mark’s post encouraged me to finally register for these forums (a lot less painful then I expected) just to post a “me too!” I’ve been using b2 for a while and I’ve never quite liked the admin interface, but it’s loads easier to use then the current WP interface. I mean that with no disprespect — I see all of the wonderful changes that have been made and they make me very happy. I do see, however, that as progress has been made and many new features created, they have been bolted on to the admin interface perhaps a little too quickly. What Mark said about all of the extra borders and such is spot-on. I’d suggest putting all of the options like publish, categorized, etc. underneath, and starting out the post page with just the basics on top: title, body, post/save. (I still haven’t figured out how the excerpt box works. I was actually wondering if there is a way to disable it.) I also agree with the idea that many people will be using the system for a single blogger. I know that is how I have, and the option to simply hide all of the multi-user stuff would be great. I was thinking of posting a diff of some design changes, but I’ve been so busy working on my site’s redesign that I haven’t gotten to it. Sorry! Keep up the good work, and maybe after the 1.0 release think about re-working the admin area. Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total)
