Let's make it a recursive acronym, where JS recursively stands for JS Script or JS Standard.

Thanks for this! Totally agree - and thank you as well for the nod with #notallamericans

Re: Advanced Custom Fields: The Hero WordPress Needs Right Now, but Not the One It Deserves

Evan Mullins — Tue, 23 Oct 2018 10:37:09 -0000

Yes, I'm also a big fan of ACF and have been evangelizing it for a number of years. I'm very interested to see what else it brings once gutenberg is released (still yet to play with ACF blocks myself). I don't have enough good things to say about ACF though. Well made plugin that greatly boosts my developer experience.

Great article on the preparation for automated deployments, these are often overlooked steps and can make or break the deployment set up. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to the rest of the series!

Re: Adding Viewport Meta Tag via WordPress Theme Functions

Evan Mullins — Thu, 25 Jun 2015 09:40:14 -0000

You add this tag in the head section of your html, normally that would be in the header.php file. But this script I'm mentioning here would go in your functions.php file. It will then insert the viewport tag into your html head for you.

Great points here!

Re: WP Migrate DB Pro 1.3 & Media Files Addon Released

Evan Mullins — Mon, 16 Dec 2013 14:18:58 -0000

Very nice! Just to clarify, the files includes the library only, correct? If we added an image to a theme we were developing, would that need to be migrated manually?

Re: MasterPress: Custom Post Types, Taxonomies, More!

Evan Mullins — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 14:22:06 -0000

This looks very impressive. I've been using ACF on everything lately and been thinking Elliot would do well to incorporate CPT management into the plugin. It will be interesting to see where WP goes in the near future too, things like this will eventually (I assume) make it into core. Although, with the time it's taken to make a UI for post types in core, I won't be holding my breath.

Travis, this looks very well thought out and I'm anxious to try it soon. Aren't australians awesome!

Some kind of location taxonomy/filter would help a lot (with the option for remote work as well)!

Re: WP Template Hierarchy Chart Online

Evan Mullins — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 18:32:30 -0000

Nicely done, I was thinking this would be great as a nice interactive infographic. I'd love to see it built into an interactive flow chart too, selecting your page type and it highlights the path to the possible templates in the heirarchy on order... not enough hours in the day.

Spot on!

I've been hearing all these new "mantras" for web design and a lot of it seems a bit black and white. We should be using our minds first and nail down the concept, then design it and build it.

Thanks for putting it all together.

Re: Would You Use the Google+ Commenting System?

Evan Mullins — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 16:31:10 -0000

Totally! I like this idea of integrating commennts, but also don't like the idea of locking would be commenters into using a specific network to comment. There should be an all inclusive option like this! I'd buy it.

Very very nice. I'll have to stop by again to see the finished product. I'm really going to have to bring my kids in to see it too!

Re: Building a Useful WordPress Code Library

Evan Mullins — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:37:40 -0000

Great idea. I really like the idea of patterns collected in a library like this. I too was impressed when pears came out and built onto it LESS support in a fork. I'd be interested in helping out, but don't have any real answers to the php issues.

I'm also curious to building these loop patters using custom post types and taxonomies and fields... to use the library for anything custom it'd have to be added to the site and db, no? That seems like it could turn into quite a bit of work to get extensive ideas into a pattern library.

Oh and yes indeed CPTs do support custom taxonomies.

Re: I Don't Have Any GTD: I Just See Work as Play

Evan Mullins — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 20:14:39 -0000

YES! I totally agree and I'm grateful everyday that I'm fortunate to be "working" in an industry that I am interested in and enjoy. I don't know if I could do it if I didn't consider it play to build websites too. The proof is that when I have exactly nothing else to do at home, I usually end up creating some project for myself to build a website for play.

Re: Joomla's Historical Civil War and Why We Should Care

Evan Mullins — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 16:00:00 -0000

Very interesting John! Great parallel. Having been in WP for a while and only tinkered with Joomla a few times, I wasn't aware of the "Civil War" in that community. Very important to learn from history!

I also think there are many more reasons that WordPress is growing so much better than Joomla than just the Joomla Civil War, but I'm sure that's not what your post is saying either. I feel that the simplicity and focus on usability behind WordPress is what has made it the choice for so many, and I've never experienced or heard of Joomla competing with WordPress in that aspect.

I like the idea you discuss that eventually it's the project (and community in the end) that suffers when the community is more intent on building on top of a project rather than contributing to it. Well put!

Re: Theme Development: All About Features?

Evan Mullins — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 14:05:48 -0000

Wrote a really long comment, but moved it to a blog post as to not hijack this page.

http://circlecube.com/2013/02/wp-features-theme-or-plugin/

TLDR;

Totally agree that it's not about the bloat, but more theme switching and the lock-in effect.

It'd be nice if WP had a built in UI for custom post types and custom taxonomies and even custom fields and meta boxes in core. Lay users could then easily create content types and manage data. WordPress would be a tool to create your own custom CMS. Theme developers could create post types as well and then WP would be smart enough to detect data in a CPT table and include the needed UI. Then the users could create/manage content types so if they installed a theme that created a custom post type, since it was now in the database, it would stay even if the theme changed. There are many rabbit holes here, but I feel like I'm onto something and would be excited to see WordPress go this direction.
