| sakrecoer | eylul, krytarik: got a repsonse from RT regarding the plug in. | 11:22 |
|---|---|---|
| eylul | oh? | 11:23 |
| eylul | result? | 11:23 |
| eylul | *goes to check* | 11:23 |
| sakrecoer | RT: "I am not confident that this plugin will play nicely with our read-only security model for Wordpress themes. " | 11:23 |
| sakrecoer | RT: "Can you come up with a list of read-write resources it would need access to? If it's just the database, we're probably fine, but I worry it needs access to the filesystem in ways we deliberately prevent" | 11:23 |
| sakrecoer | eylul: https://rt.ubuntu.com/Ticket/Display.html?id=29028 | 11:24 |
| eylul | I *think* it only touches the database (the pages are saved on the database in some compressed format). as in it doesn't create new files? the only part I have doubts about is the template creation (which we do not use, because it is buggy anyway) I am not entirely sure through. as in it doesn't touch the theme at all. | 11:28 |
| eylul | sakrecoer: what I can do is to try to ftp into the stage to see if there are any files created by the plugin. I know it doesn't touch the theme. Not sure if it creates its own files somewhere through. I doubt it does but.. | 11:32 |
| eylul | ok if this thing is modifying anything the filesystem I am not seeing it. krytarik might have more ideas on this. | 11:39 |
| sakrecoer | eylul: ok, i think we need a straight answer.. | 11:58 |
| sakrecoer | krytarik seemed to be meaning we might not need that plugin anymore... | 11:58 |
| sakrecoer | not sure how or why, but today i leanred of another plugin by him, that we seem to use | 11:58 |
| sakrecoer | Simple Custom CSS plugin | 11:59 |
| sakrecoer | so, if we don't find a straight answer about what live-thing~plugin needs access to, i will tell RT to disregard it while i mention the simple-css-sthing-plugin | 12:00 |
| eylul | yes, we were discussing that we should probably have both plugins available | 12:10 |
| eylul | if possible | 12:10 |
| eylul | but my argument is that handcoding everything should be the last resort, and we should aim to maintain a min hassle website that doesn't require people to know css hacks to do a content update. | 12:11 |
| sakrecoer | oh i agree, but it seems such a sollution also need to copmly with RT's rules... | 12:14 |
| sakrecoer | *comply | 12:14 |
| eylul | sakrecoer: that goes without saying. I am fairly certain it doesn't touch anything but the database through. | 12:16 |
| eylul | I wish I knew exactly what parts they keep as read only. I could recreate the setup somewhere and ensure the plugin works | 12:16 |
