Summary of Helphub Meeting 14 June


Attendance

@greensteph @sarassassin @carlalberto @justingreerbbi @normalize @nlarnold1 attended

Migration Updates

@normalize is working chiefly on 2 articles and will be re-writing them.

Design Updates

@saraassin and @greensteph has made some wireframes for the WordPress Version Articles at Balsamiq

Some discusssions were made on whether the blog link should be in the listing itself or the link should be contained within the version article. @Kenshino will find out if those blog links are ever used.

Development Updates

@justingreerbbi outlined some of the work he has done including the ‘Suggested Search Results’ dropdown. @Kenshino will push the latest changes to the staging site for everyone to see how the search dropdown will look like to gather feedback.

@nlarnold1 will be working on the backend of the voting functionality while @justingreerbbi will focus on the front end

@justingreerbbi will be adding a function to mass update article read times hooked to plugin activation. This is because there are many articles who do not have read time as they were saved before the plugin existed.

What to do about screenshots that are too large to fit the roughly 650px of max content space we have?

It was decided that Modal popups should be used and Thickbox should be used as a trial as it’s included in core

How can we automate the creation of WordPress Version Articles in Helphub?

It was decided that such an automation was not needed as creating of a version post type via the ‘Add New’ screen is already vastly shortening the current steps of creating sub pages on Codex and then editing the table listing page to link the sub pages.
