The Usual Tech Ramblings

Oooh upgrady

Okay, so I was considering upgrading WP to the 2.7 beta, but they released it before I got a chance… so took the leap… very nice admin interface now… very cool, love the new layouts.

First Problem post upgrade...

PEBKAC related really. Trying to submit a post, not using the new “QuickPress”, I was getting an error about the function enqueue_comment_hotkeys_js not being defined. A quick google showed one other victim, who also suffered, but simply commented out the call. I took a little extra time, and checked out some of the other google results, which were all just source code views, which told me it did exist.

Turns out, the issue was because of my FTP client saw the date on wp-admin/includes/comment.php was older in the zip file than the one on my server, so didn’t update it. Why it was older in the zip, I’ve no idea, so I redeployed the zip file again, and told File!Zilla to overwrite all files.

Error gone.

Visual Studio, and annoying checkouts

Whilst doing some project build work recently, I noticed that every time I attempted to build a solution, it’d want to checkout every project, and update it with something. After doing a comparison after it had done it’s update, and before I checked it into TFS, I decided to find out what kept getting added. I figured it was probably a project dependency that was recently added, and not completely added to all the projects yet.

Visual Studio Projects, and Multiple Environments

I’ve recently been put in control of managing the source control, and deployments in the office. It’s an interesting project, and I’m looking back over some of the stuff we’ve done to get our mass of code to work, build, and roll out to 4 different environments. However, I wanted something more manageable, and flexible, that we could use it through our entire product line, instead of having to customize it for each project/product.
