@markjaquith What in the heck is that?

@chip_bennett That was the one you forked way back due to being kicked off the repo. right?

@chip_bennett I never read those. I just click and hope for the best 🙂

@chip_bennett Code improvements are always appreciated 🙂

@chip_bennett If it'd been network activated I'd have written an upgrade script for it. Upgrading thousands of blogs would be bad 😉

@chip_bennett I was deploying it on a multisite network. Thankfully it wasn't used in many places.

@ipstenu I've turned it off for 60 secs and had a site indexed by Google. They take weeks to remove it, but they still obey it, eventually.

@ipstenu Truthfully, all the important ones do 😉

@ipstenu Yup, I found that straight away. It makes more sense there. Less cluttered. Confused the bajeesus out of me for a few mins though.

That confusing moment when you realise you aren't going (more) crazy, and they have indeed removed options-privacy.php from WordPress.

@JellyBeen I have mine on a twice daily cron to make sure I'm always up to date.

@k0nsl @ldebrouwer @JellyBeen Seems to be working fine for me.

@k0nsl @ldebrouwer @jellybeen @SiobhanPMcKeown @JellyBeen I'm yet to run into anything but minor problems running my live site on trunk.

The cool kids are all running WordPress 3.6 now 🙂 @JellyBeen

@JellyBeen Thanks. You just made me go check and realise I'm still on RC2! I think my Cron is broken.

@janeforshort @ipstenu I noticed that too.

I sense an official release of WordPress 3.5 coming on.

@fondalashay I think amusement over practicality is in action there 🙂

Lolz, check out the 404 page from @Bensmann … http://thomas.bensmann.no/404

@PauldeWouters No. I'm completely stuck with that.

@dinicmilan I've been looking in there for about 5 mins 🙂

@PauldeWouters The WP Native Dashboard triggers an error when I try to use the frontend admin bar setting'

@dinicmilan I'm trying to figure that out just now. Help would be appreciated 🙂

@PauldeWouters @Rarst Not sure. I forgot about that plugin so will go try it out later. Thanks for pointing it out.

@miss_jwo Yep, I tried that too. No matter what I do on those hooks, they appear to have not happened when the menu is built.

@miss_jwo I'm filtering with locale(), but no matter what I set at wp_before_admin_bar_render(), I can't detect it at locale().

@noeltock I am confused.

@miss_jwo admin_head() doesn't fire on the front-end it seems.

@Rarst It doesn't do what I want. I've searched and came up with nothing. That's why I'm trying to build it myself.

@miss_jwo Yup, I've been trying to use that, but to no effect 🙁 There's something I'm not understanding about how it works.

@Rarst That example does not differentiate between frontend and backend. It just translates everything.

@Rarst Do you know of any examples of those?

@miss_jwo There is no function called that unfortunately.

@miss_jwo Dang, if that works then that is one heck of a simple route to achieving my goal!

I need to translate the WP admin bar, without translating the content on the front-end of the site. Any ideas on how to implement this?

My evening so far … https://ryan.hellyer.kiwi/2012/12/08/sognsvann-evening-skate/

@dgwyer That sounds like a plugin which will be very popular. Subscriptions to support forums are a commonly requested feature.

@dinicmilan I guess there are some other things that can be helpful, like how to alter stuff via JS if absolutely necessary.

@kimparsell Unit tests?

@dinicmilan Only other things to know are to use media queries and whether to set it to autozoom or not.

@dinicmilan If you learn the fundamentals of CSS then the rest is simple.

@olivM That was my line of thought too. Others seem to disagree and prefer to replicate production.

@kimparsell I have no idea why my text replicated like that. I never wrote "appears". Tried deleting and resending. Same text popped up!?

@dinicmilan Thanks. I thought the menu was a bit weird though. I haven't gotten to that yet.

@kimparsell The zip seems to be available now … The zip appears to be available now … http://wordpress.org/wordpress-3.5-RC4.zip

@dinicmilan Which one?

@kimparsell Yep, that's coz they just bumped the version in Trac (hence I knew it was going up). I don't think RC installs are upgrading yet

@kimparsell Are you on Trunk perhaps?

@CoenJacobs Thanks for the input.

@CoenJacobs It tests if the code will work in the future. It saves having to do a double test.

@CoenJacobs A staging environment for testing code before pushing to the live server.

WordPress question: Is it common to run trunk on staging servers? Or is it standard to replicate the current production server?
