Towards a data model for scalable queries against rich WordPress post attribute data

Towards a data model for scalable queries against rich WordPress post attribute data

This document is in draft status, and is being made available for peer review. If you have feedback, comment on this gist or email me.

Let's say you're a web developer. A client of yours is a gemstone dealer in Manhattan. This dealer has an inventory of gemstones that they'd like to put on their website.

Gemstones have a plethora of attributes: type of gemstone (e.g. sapphire or emerald), price, weight, width, height, depth, color, shape, country of origin, treatment (if it's heat treated), who certified these details, whether the stone is a single stone or a pair.

You're offered the task to make a website to display the gemstone inventory, which will include a search interface. So a user can say "I want to see sapphires that are no heavier than 1.33 karats that are oval, between $750 and $1250, between 1.11mm and 1.20mm that weren't heat treated, because heat treatment is cheap."

How should we decide what features to bring into WordPress core?

How should we decide what features to bring into WordPress core?

I worked on the Media Grid feature for WordPress 4.0. I thought it was more or less a no-brainer that the feature made sense for core. So, I would be taken aback when a few committers and contributors asked questions like "What problem does this feature solve?" or "Which out of the 230 bugs in the Media Component does this fix?" Essentially, why. I found these conversations tricky to navigate. Even though I'd been contributing to the project for a few years, I was (and still am) getting my bearings on how to think about features for WordPress core.

WordPress core contributors by version. Input data from https://api.wordpress.org/core/credits/1.1/?version=x.x
<?php
$data_dir = 'c:/server/www/dev/data/';
$releases = [ ];
foreach ( range( 3.2, 4.0, 0.1 ) as $version ) {
$version = number_format( $version, 1 );
$data = json_decode( file_get_contents( $data_dir . $version . '.json' ), true );
$groups = wp_list_pluck( $data['groups'], 'data' );

Oauth2 Explanation

OAUTH2

The Problem

I’m a web app that wants to allow other web apps access to my users’ information, but I want to ensure that the user says it’s ok.

The Solution

I can’t trust the other web apps, so I must interact with my users directly. I’ll let them know that the other app is trying to get their info, and ask whether they want to grant that permission. Oauth defines a way to initiate that permission verification from the other app’s site so that the user experience is smooth. If the user grants permission, I issue an AuthToken to the other app which it can use to make requests for that user's info.

Note on encryption

Oauth2 has nothing to do with encryption -- it relies upon SSL to keep things (like the client app’s shared_secret) secure.
