diana_coman: billymg - the latest vpatch seems to pack quite some changes indeed; is there still a way to change the permalink from the gui while editing a draft?
diana_coman: I guess I'll deploy it on yh and then wait to hear if there are any complaints, lol
billymg: diana_coman: yup! you can manually change the slug from the same location, the input is now always showing, instead of a click-to-show js thing
billymg: the server-side auto-generation of one when first saving a new draft also works, along with sanitization of what you enter into the custom permalink field
diana_coman: sounds quite good, I'll have to make some time to catch up with the latest mp-wp!
billymg: i think you'll like it, definitely
billymg: it was getting to where when i switched back and forth between my local install and the old one on billymg.com the old one just felt painfully bloated and clunky
diana_coman: ah, I don't doubt that, it's more squeezing some time to read through the patches, press it all and then do the dance of changing it in place without messing up anything else.
diana_coman: heh, sounds exactly as it should be, inded
diana_coman: indeed
billymg: makes sense, yeah i might look into writing some deploy scripts for myself
billymg: not sure if anyone's got anything like that already for mp-wp
diana_coman: I don't have anything but I'd like to have !
diana_coman: lolz
billymg: i thought about it before as perhaps a vpatch containing my config, that could be manually replayed on top of a new press
billymg: kk, will share for sure if i make progress on it
diana_coman: billymg how did you deploy the new version now?
billymg: tar'd the fresh mp-wp from this patch and placed on the server, manually copied over configs, themes, upload/download directories etc
billymg: double/triple checked file permissions and anything that tripped me up in the past
diana_coman: ouch
billymg: then mv prevDir prevDir_BAK && mv mp-wp prevDir
billymg: haha yeah, ouch indeed
diana_coman: tbh what I deployed so far on existing installations I literally patched but the patches were way smaller/touching way less, hm.
billymg: it could work, but yeah for a change this big i felt like starting with a fresh install
billymg: i gotta run into town now, will bbl
diana_coman: laters
