nkinkademlinksva: Sorry, I realized this should be in #cc17:55
nkinkadeThe question is do we allow the use of the [gallery] tag, and if so, so we silently rewrite the URLs as they come in, or do we make Wordpress generate different URLs for attachments, and if so, what should the URL look like?17:56
mlinksvaargh, that's bogus18:02
mlinksvafor attribution purposes we ought to link to wherver the image came from18:03
mlinksvawhich would sort of eliminate the problem18:03
mlinksvaor rather require creating a different solution18:04
nkinkademlinksva: On the attachment page there is attribution, etc: http://creativecommons.org/weblog/2008/12/21/11757/attachment/3114232639_f66de53a1218:05
nkinkadeAlthough WP calls it an "attachment" it's really just a whole other post.18:06
nkinkadeThat's a URL that WP can handle, but replacing the date with "entry" kills it's internal rewrite rules.18:06
nkinkadeIt wouldn't be hard for me to change my plugin to handle incoming URLs like the ones that are being generated and serviing up the correct content.18:07
nkinkadeOr we could just make it a policy to not use the [gallery] WP stuff and to link directly to the image's source.18:07
nkinkade(as you say)18:07
nkinkadeOne advantage with the gallery is that it will automatically create a bunch of thumbnails and display them tabularly.18:08
mlinksvankinkade: yeah gallery is convenient18:09
nkinkademlinksva: So shall I just update the plugin to handle these attachment links?18:09
nkinkadeIf so, the question becomes whether we let WP generate the URLs that it wants and then handle those when they come back in, or whether we force WP to create the URLs that we want.18:10
mlinksvais that attribution info just typed in plaintext?18:11
mlinksvaat the attachment link above18:12
mlinksvanevermind, i see that it is18:13
nkinkademlinksva: It's part of the images description when editing the gallery.18:13
mlinksvamy ideal would be for there to be two additional fields -- source and license urls18:13
nkinkademlinksva: In that case, I'd recommend we not use the WP built-in gallery.18:14
mlinksvaand gallery would use those18:14
nkinkadeTo implement that would require changes to the database and code.18:14
nkinkadeBecause this "attachment" is really just a post in disguise.18:14
nkinkadeSo to add new fields would imply changing the database, unless we had some crazy code that would store that data somewhere else.18:15
mlinksvai see.  it would be super-useful patch to have shipped with wordpress, but i guess that is a bigger project18:15
nkinkadeThat is true.18:16
*** stevel has joined #cc18:16
mlinksvaso yeah, i guess i'd have to say we should avoid using gallery, because it is hard for us to even do attribution and license notice right, and we of all sites need to get that right18:16
nkinkadeOkay, I'll have Michelle change the post.18:16
mlinksvabtw i'm sad that i didn't know before but glad to learn of ionice and iotop.  looks like the latter is packaged in intrepid.18:18
nkinkademlinksva: I didn't even know it was packaged, but glad to see that it is.  And ionice is presently saving us every single day.18:18
mlinksvankinkade: now i have something to celebrate for the holidays, since i felt let down about the purported saving going on otherwise18:31
mlinksvahttp://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8696 http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/869718:31
mlinksvathose are pretty lame writeups, but better than nothing18:31
*** sama has joined #cc18:33
nkinkademlinksva: It seems to me that there already is a "Source" URL location.18:38
nkinkadeThat is, when you go to add an image, there is a "Source" text box that I think is what you were talking about.18:42
mlinksvabut it isn't available for editing http://creativecommons.org/wp-admin/media.php?action=edit&attachment_id=1182418:44
mlinksvaok, so i guess the "link url" can be used for this18:49
mlinksvankinkade: so maybe we can use gallery, we just need to add the link url to each image18:54
mlinksvabut there is no UI for doing so except at upload :)18:54
nkinkademlinksva: Michelle is already changing her post to remove the use the [gallery]18:56
nkinkadeBut if we want, I can still update the cc_permalink_mapper plugin to handle those URLs correctly.18:56
mlinksvahttp://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/869819:00
mlinksvai'd rather not fix something that we don't want to use19:00
mlinksvare permalink mapper19:01
nkinkademlinksva: The permalink mapper is a hack anyway ... we have just discovered one more rule that it should probably handle.19:04
nkinkademlinksva: If we are not going to use [gallery] as a matter of policy then we should send out an email to cc-staff, but it we will allow it, then we need to update the permalink mapper to handle the URLs.19:23
nkinkade(whether the bugs you filed get addressed or not)19:23
mlinksvankinkade: don't need the permalink mapper if every image has a link specified19:25
mlinksvaas every image should19:26
mlinksvaanyway19:26

nkinkadeThe revised post.20:03
*** paulproteus has quit IRC20:03
mlinksvankinkade: i saw, that works, though i'm sure it was a pain20:04
nkinkadeI think it was, she mentioned something about "2 hours later" :-)20:05
*** paulproteus has joined #cc20:05
nkinkadepaulproteus entered the room!20:05
nkinkadeI haven't ever seen that notice before.20:05
Bovinityhmm, she didn't include the pictures joi and i posted20:05
nkinkadepaulproteus: doesn't enter rooms, he just is.20:05
nkinkademlinksva: It appears as if the "Link to" field doesn't affect the link that is displayed when [gallery] is used, but only once the post is viewed, for what it's worth.20:18
nkinkadeSo it still probably doesn't resolve the permalink issue.20:19
mlinksvait affects the link use if you add a single image to a post ... sounds like another bug to be fixed20:27
nkinkadeBut I guess we should still determine what our policy toward [gallery]: either make it work right, or explicitly ask that people don't use it.20:33
