A Complete Guide to Generated Columns in MySQL

MySQL generated columns pose as a powerful, easy-to-use, and advanced tool for anyone who wants to add automatically generated data to their tables - in this blog, we will learn everything you need to know to master them.

Generated columns allow you to store automatically generated data in a table without using the INSERT and UPDATE clauses. This useful feature has been part of MySQL since version 5.7, and it represents an alternative approach to triggers when it comes to generating data. Also, generated columns can help you make your query easier and more efficient.

Regression Testing: Significance, Challenges, Best Practices and Tools

Minor changes can have huge consequences. As the wants and choices of customers and markets are dynamic, so is expected the software to progress in parallel with the varying trends. In a few cases, the changes or even slight modifications in the back-end can often cause a diversion from intended use and functionality. To evade such anomalies in software, the QA specialist team performs regression tests (with the assistance of regression test tools). 

Tester teams should make certain that fresh code doesn’t conflict with older code and that unchanged code continues to function as expected. Software products, once designed, are frequently changed to ensure the right incorporation of sophisticated and unique features. This form of testing makes certain that the app’s earlier functionality is still functional and that the latest alterations haven’t introduced new bugs.

Text-overflow: ellipsis considered harmful

Eric Eggert:

There are a few legitimate use cases for this technique. For example, you might have a table with titles and descriptions. To preserve more space for the title, you constrain the description to one line on small viewports to the one-line and you repeat the description on the detail page for this item.

However, I often see it used on items like buttons or even form labels to make them look nicer(?) or when aligning them vertically. But once you change the viewport or resize the text, the end of the text disappears.

I think “… if used in certain situations” belongs there, but it certainly makes for a better blog post title without it. As Eric says, there are legitimate use cases for truncating text. Maybe only a few, but legitimate nonetheless.

The ultimate goal is to prevent “losing” data, something that can certainly happen in CSS. Text that inadvertently overflows a container is lost in the sense that it’s simply not there. And if that text is simply not there, users will miss it, even if it is the best and most well-crafted call to action ever published to the web.

Eric points out that there is no way to make the text truncated by text-overflow: ellipsis visible. Once it’s gone, it’s gone (although screen readers seem to announce it). It’s practically lost data. You might be OK with that. That’s cool as long as you know what’s happening and it’s intended.

But here’s what Eric says that made me want to share this:

Don’t constrain the content to fit your design, make your CSS flexible to handle longer words gracefully.

Again, you might want to conform content to the design. But I’d probably argue, like Eric, that the design should adapt to the content rather than the other way around. I have a hard time recalling any situation where the text on a page is unimportant or without purpose to the extent that I’d be cool cutting if off at any arbitrary point determined by a CSS property. Maybe an archive of blog posts where each post shows an excerpt of the post content before truncating, but that’s not exactly a use case for text-overflow: ellipse.

CSS has the tools to make a flexible design that accounts for varying lengths of text. So maybe err on the side of writing defensive CSS… CSS that anticipates issues and knows how to gracefully handle different content scenarios. text-overflow: ellipsis might be part of your CSS arsenal for that. But it might also be throwing the baby out with the bath water. Worth asking whether losing that data is worth the cost of what that content is supposed to do before giving giving it a haircut.

While we’re talking about truncating text…

Purpose-Driven Microservice Design

Buzzwords aren’t something I expected when I started my career. In those days, most of the technology news arrived in paper-based weekly publications like InformationWeek and Network World. I remember thinking to myself, “Man, they are using these same words over and over again each week.”

That translated to people using buzzwords … all the time. Back then, my two favorite buzzwords were references to the internet as the “world wide web” and the “information superhighway.” I always wondered if there would be a super-duper-highway at some point.

How to Add a Wishlist to Your WooCommerce Store

Do you want to add a wishlist feature to your WooCommerce store?

A wishlist allows visitors to save their favorite products, so they can quickly find them later in your store and complete their purchase. It also makes it easy for your visitors to share their favorite items with friends and family as part of their wedding registry or another gift registry.

In this article, we’ll show you how to add a wishlist to your WooCommerce store.

Add a wishlist to your WooCommerce store

What Are Wishlists and Why Add Them in WooCommerce?

A wishlist lets your customers and guests save their favorite products on a list. It helps them to remember which products they want to buy in the future, so they can quickly find them later on your WooCommerce store.

Plus, customers can share their wishlists with their friends and family. This helps build brand awareness and increases traffic to your online store so you can boost sales.

Another benefit is that you get to see which products people add the most to their wishlists. To increase sales, you can then run promotional offers and discounts on popular wishlist products.

That said, let’s see how you can easily add a wishlist to the WooCommerce store.

Adding a Wishlist to Your WooCommerce Store

The best way of adding a wishlist to your WooCommerce store is by using a WordPress plugin like YITH WooCommerce Wishlist.

It’s a free WooCommerce plugin that lets your visitors save their favorite products to a wishlist and share them with their friends and family.

First, you’ll need to install and activate the YITH WooCommerce Wishlist plugin. For more details, please see our guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Upon activation, you can head over to YITH » Wishlist from your WordPress dashboard and click on the ‘Add to wishlist options’ tab to configure the plugin.

After a product is added to your wishlist

The plugin will automatically add a ‘Add to wishlist’ link to each product that shoppers can click on to save items.

In the settings, you can select which link to show after a user adds a product to the wishlist. For instance, you can still display the ‘Add to wishlist’ button, or you can change the link to show the ‘View wishlist’ or ‘Remove from list’ options instead.

Next, you’ll see the Loop settings and Product page settings. You can choose where you’d like the ‘Add to wishlist’ button appear on the product page.

Wishlist loop settings

By default, it will be shown after the add to cart button. However, you can choose a different position by clicking the dropdown menu in front of the Position of “Add to wishlist” on product page option.

After that, simply scroll down and customize the text for your wishlist and edit the color and style of the add to wishlist button.

Change the text for add to wishlist button

Don’t forget to click the ‘Save Options’ button at the bottom of the page when you’re done.

Next, you can head to the ‘Wishlist page options’ tab.

The plugin will create a new page for wishlists on your WooCommerce store. If you prefer, you can select a different page from the Wishlist page dropdown menu instead or show wishlists on any page using the [yith_wcwl_wishlist] shortcode.

Wishlist page options

Next, you can now scroll down and select which details to show in the wishlist table.

For example, there are options to display product variations, the date on which the product was added to the wishlist, price, and more.

Details on wishlist page

You can even select social media channels on which people can share their wishlists, add custom text when the list is shared on social media, and more.

The plugin also offers settings to change the text and edit the style and color of the sharing button, social media channel buttons, and more.

Share on social media options

When you’ve customized the wishlist page settings, don’t forget to click the ‘Save Options’ button to store your changes.

You can now visit your WooCommerce store and see the ‘Add to wishlist’ option on the product page under the Add to cart button.

Preview of add to wishlist button

When a user clicks the Add to wishlist link, they can then browse their wishlist and remove items or add to cart products from the list.

Besides that, the plugin also shows options to share the wishlist on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest or send the list via email and WhatsApp.

Browse your wishlist

Going Beyond Wishlists to Grow WooCommerce Sales

Now that you have added the wishlist feature to your WooCommerce store, you may want to further optimize it to boost sales and conversions.

We recommend using the WooFunnels plugin to optimize your WooCommerce checkout, add one-click upsells, and other marketing automation features.

WooFunnels Template Library

For more details, see our step by step guide on how to create high converting funnels in WooCommerce.

Aside from that, here are five other plugins that we recommend to help grow your WooCommerce store:

  • Advanced Coupons for WooCommerce – helps you add smart coupons to offer free shipping discounts above certain $ amount, buy one get one free offers, and more.
  • WooCommerce Gift Cards – lets you sell gift cards for your WooCommerce store. This is a great addition alongside wishlist to boost revenue.
  • PushEngage – helps you stay connected with visitors after they leave your website. This technology is used by many smart eCommerce retailers like 1800-flowers, Harrys and Davids, and others to boost sales.
  • Uncanny Automator – this tool helps you automate your routine workflows to save you time. Simply the best task automation plugin for WooCommerce.
  • WP Mail SMTP – ensures that your WooCommerce emails actually get delivered in your user’s inbox. This is an absolute must have tool for all WordPress sites. See more details in our guide on how to fix WordPress not sending email issue.

We hope this article helped you learn how to add a wishlist to your WooCommerce store. You may also want to see our expert pick of the best WooCommerce plugins to grow your store, and the best WooCommerce hosting companies that scales with your growth.

Meeting Mary Poppins

“This month we travel to London with Mary Poppins to discover the city. We will have great adventures!” — Designed by Veronica Valenzuela from Spain.

Free Flight Of A Bird

“Our designers can’t live without being affected by the war in Ukraine. Recent escalation and missile attacks on civilian objects made them reflect on that and as a result, they created this wonderful calendar in the colors of the Ukrainian flag. The bird represents the freedom that we sooner or later get through a long struggle. You can find more free calendars in our post. Thank you!” — Designed by MasterBundles from Ukraine.

Aquatic Fresh

“I played with a shape looking like a starfish, this one is made with a mathematical formula. Then I put all the shapes on the screen, according to a Poisson disc sampling distribution. Poisson is the french word for fish, it’s also the name of a french mathematician. Finally, all this made me think of a pond with water lilies, a refreshing atmosphere for July.” — Designed by Philippe Brouard from France.

Buck Moon

“July is the month where the Buck Moon takes place, also known as the full moon. With the brightest light shining upon Earth’s night and the male deer’s antlers growing at their fullest.” — Designed by Linda Lin from the Netherlands.

Oldies But Goodies

Our wallpapers archives are full of timeless treasures that are just too good to be forgotten. So here’s a small selection of favorites from past July editions. Please note that these designs don’t come with a calendar.

Birdie July

Designed by Lívi Lénárt from Hungary.

Summer Season

The Ancient Device

Designed by Ricardo Gimenes from Sweden.

Summer Cannonball

A Flamboyance Of Flamingos

“July in South Africa is dreary and wintery so we give all the southern hemisphere dwellers a bit of colour for those grey days. And for the northern hemisphere dwellers a bit of pop for their summer!” — Designed by Wonderland Collective from South Africa.

Plastic Bag Free Day

“The objective of this date is to draw attention to the production and over-consumption of plastic bags worldwide, presenting alternatives to solve this serious environmental problem. It is urgent to change the behavior of all human beings regarding the use of plastic bags. For the preservation of the environment, we should use the same plastic bag for shopping, recycling or use paper bags. In this wallpaper I drew a plastic bag with a turtle inside it, as if it was imprisoned by its own bag, as if the ocean was reduced to a plastic bag, emphasizing the seriousness of this environmental problem, which has tortured both turtles and many others marine species.” — Designed by Carolina Santos from Portugal.

Summer Essentials

“A few essential items for the summertime weather at the beach, park, and everywhere in-between.” — Designed by Zach Vandehey from the United States.

Fire Camp

“What’s better than a starry summer night with an (unexpected) friend around a fire camp with some marshmallows? Happy July!” — Designed by Etienne Mansard from the UK.

Go To Holidays!

“It is July and the most awaited moment arrives… Holidays! We pack our bags and go to relax! Happy holidays!” — Designed by Veronica Valenzuela from Spain.

It’s A Smashing Summer

“The car wash down the street. I went to get my car washed for free and when the car entered the tunnel, the soap and the lights created some colorful and gorgeous images. I photographed them all. Car wash businesses remind me of my family. My Dad owned gas stations and my brother used to wash cars when he was young. Plus, back where I am originally from, car washing is done frequently because we have warm weather all year around.” — Designed by Alma Hoffmann from Puerto Rico, US.

Eternal Summer

“And once you let your imagination go, you find yourself surrounded by eternal summer, unexplored worlds and all-pervading warmth, where there are no rules of physics and colors tint the sky under your feet.” — Designed by Ana Masnikosa from Belgrade, Serbia.

Taste Like Summer!

“In times of clean eating and the world of superfoods there is one vegetable missing. An old, forgotten one. A flower actually. Rare and special. Once it had a royal reputation (I cheated a bit with the blue). The artichocke — this is my superhero in the garden! I am a food lover — you too? Enjoy it — dip it!” — Designed by Alexandra Tamgnoué from Germany.

Tropical Lilies

“I enjoy creating tropical designs, they fuel my wanderlust and passion for the exotic. Instantaneously transporting me to a tropical destination.” — Designed by Tamsin Raslan from the United States.

Keep Moving Forward

“Snails can be inspiring! If you keep heading towards your goal, even if it is just tiny steps, enjoy the journey and hopefully it will be worth the effort.” — Designed by Glynnis Owen from Australia.

Day Turns To Night

Designed by Xenia Latii from Germany.

Island River

How do I get my Hyper-V set up back?

How do I get my Hyper-V set up back?

I set up a couple of vitrual machines using Hyper-V. There seemed to be some memory and resource issues. So I closed down the virtual machines and Hyper-V and
then I ran malwarebytes, ccleaner, and avg to clean up my system. I uninstalled a few programs that I determined I did not need. Then I also disabled some
programs that run on start up.

There must have been something, within the scope of all of this, that something was done to make Hyper-V behave differently. And this is why I am posting this.
The data in which the virtual machines ran on must still exist on my hard drive and I should be able to load it again.

At this time, when I type to launch hyper-v, I am given the opportunity to launch "Hyper-V Manager". The program loads with no virtual machines listen. It's title
bar says "Console1 - [Console Root]" amd "Console Root is listed as a folder. How do I set things back to the way they were? What are your thoughts? Please help.

Are All Kubernetes Ingresses the Same?

The simple answer is yes and no, but the real answer is more complicated. There has been a lot written on this topic, and I am taking a shot at making this area more understandable.

Before getting started, it's important that I point out a key fact. k8s Upstream does not provide an Ingress. Like components such as service load balancers and storage, it simply provides the API that the controller should consume to create the functionality described in the k8s resource. An Ingress consists of the controller watching k8s APIs and the proxy engine that is programmed by that controller to affect forwarding.

WordPress Contributors Propose Improving Block Themes’ Visibility in the Directory

WordPress theme authors and contributors from the Themes team are exploring ways to make block themes more prominent on the official directory. These are themes that are specifically tagged with support for full-site editing. Despite WordPress having a block theme for its most recent default theme, authors have been slow to create more. There are currently only 86 themes that support the full range of WordPress site editing capabilities.

A meta trac ticket opened five weeks ago proposes giving block themes priority in the directory. Themes Team contributor Sandilya Kafle kicked off the discussion with two ideas:

  • Add a new tab in the theme repository ( Popular, Latest, Block)
  • Change the popular themes algorithm and add 1 block theme in 1 out of 10 popular themes.
Proposal to add Block to the menu on the Themes Directory

“There might be some other way to encourage block theme authors to contribute more,” Kafle said.

“We don’t need this always, but we can try this for at least one year and see how it will go. Block themes need some attention and encouragement. Only very few FSE themes are maintained properly.”

The idea received immediate pushback from WordPress contributor Joy Reynolds.

“If block themes are the future and are better and easier, they don’t need any extra promotion,” Reynolds said. “Since the WP software handles both, it is very disrespectful to the authors that followed all the rules to build up their placement in the repository, for WP to suddenly give the new type an advantage. (The site editor still has a “beta” label.) All themes should be treated equally.”

Automattic-sponsored Themes Team contributor Sarah Norris was more amenable to the idea, noting that block themes are “a different type of theme from classic themes and enable so many different features.” She said putting ‘Block’ in the Themes Directory menu next to ‘Latest’ would be “a good, small first step.”

WordPress theme author Rich Tabor addressed the criticism of the proposal and reframed it to be more about improving the visibility of block themes.

“I don’t think that priority is quite the correct context,” Tabor contended. “Block themes are categorically different than ‘classic’ themes, because of the nature of the theme, the Site Editor experience, and Global Styles.

“It’s not that we should prioritize block themes, but rather indicate that these are a new class of themes that diverge from the classic theme WordPress experience. If someone unknowingly switches from a block theme (like the default Twenty Twenty-Two theme) to a classic theme, they will lose the core WordPress functionality that they may be familiar with/reliant on.”

Currently, the list of FSE themes is buried three clicks deep. These are the themes that work with all the latest capabilities of WordPress and they should not be this difficult to find. Users have to know to go to the ‘features filter’ menu item, select ‘full-site editing,’ and then click ‘apply.’ Not everyone who uses the Themes Directory will understand the limitations of legacy themes when selecting a theme.

“Last week in the FSE hangout, we also discussed the issue of block themes not getting featured in the theme repository,” theme and block developer Ellen Bauer commented on the ticket. “As a result, users simply don’t know that WordPress is introducing these new themes along with Full Site Editing features. I don’t think this is beneficial for WordPress.”

Bauer proposed an even more bold approach to featuring FSE themes, which mirrors the design in the Plugins Directory. This approach would prominently display block themes above classic themes at the top of the page.

“We can add a similar second section on the theme page in the same fashion as on the plugin page with ‘Block-Enabled Plugins’,” she proposed. “So we could add ‘Block Themes’ or ‘Full Site Editing-enabled Themes’ above the regular theme list. This would add to a consistent experience between searching for plugins and themes, which make sense to me.” 

WordPress lead developer Dion Hulse weighed in on the technical challenges of the solutions proposed and concluded that re-doing the front page of the directory would likely be the best way to solve the needs communicated in the ticket. He updated the headers for the WordPress Theme Directory – Local development environment and added development notes to the readme for getting started, if contributors want to work on the project.

The ticket is still open for discussion for anyone who wants to add feedback or jump in on contributing to this improvement to the Themes Directory.

Plan Routes to Nearby Places in an App

Route planning is a very common thing that all of us do in our daily lives. Route planning in apps allows users to enter a location that they want to go to and then select an appropriate route based on various factors such as the estimated time of arrival (ETA), and is applicable to a wide range of scenarios. In a travel app, for example, travelers can select a starting point and destination and then select an appropriate route. In a lifestyle app, users can search for nearby services within the specified scope and then view routes to these service locations. In a delivery app, delivery riders can plan optimal routes to facilitate order pickup and delivery.

So, how do we go about implementing such a useful function in an app? That's exactly what I'm going to introduce to you today.

Complete Guide to TestOps

As we all know, DevOps is not a person — it’s a complex set of processes, skills, communication, and tools between developers, ops, testing, and business units. DevOps entered the tech big scene several years ago with The Phoenix Project (2013) and The DevOps Handbook (2016) to address scalability issues and provide an opportunity for tech companies to ship software faster. It focuses on closing the loop between development and operations and drives production through continuous development, integration, testing, monitoring and feedback, delivery, and deployment.

The technology leaders have now switched to it, breaking communication barriers between dev and ops silos and reducing new features’ time-to-market. DevOps is responsible for the fact that we all use CI/CD systems, virtualization tools, and various automation to ship updates twice a day.

How to Import External Images in WordPress

Do you want to import external images in WordPress?

If you have recently moved your website from one platform or host to another, then there is a good chance that you may have external images embedded on your pages.

In this article, we will explain how to properly import those external images in WordPress.

How to Import External Images in WordPress

Why Import External Images in WordPress?

External images are images embedded in your content that load from another website or URL different from your main WordPress website.

Most commonly, WordPress users come across external images issue after migrating their website from other platforms like Blogger, Weebly, Joomla, or WordPress.com.

By default, if you use one of the WordPress importers, then it will try to import images. You can see the imported images by visiting Media » Library page in your WordPress admin area.

If you see that all your images are already in the Media Library, but the image URLs in your posts still point to your old website, then you don’t need this article. Instead, you should follow our guide on how to easily update URLs when moving your WordPress site.

However, if you don’t see images imported to your WordPress media library, then continue reading and we will show you how to import those external images.

How to Import External Images in WordPress

The first thing you need to do is to install and activate the Auto Upload Images plugin. For more details, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Upon activation, you need to visit the Settings » Auto Upload Images page to review the plugin settings.

The Auto Upload Images Settings Page

The default settings would work for most users, but you can change them as needed.

For example, the plugin will import images to your default WordPress media uploads folder. You can change that by providing a different base URL. Other than that, it also allows you to set filename, image alt tag, image size, and exclude post types.

If you do make some changes, then don’t forget to click on the ‘Save Changes’ button at the bottom of the page to store the new settings.

Next, you will need to update the posts or pages containing the external images. Since this is a manual process, it can be tedious if you have a lot of content.

Luckily, there’s a quick way to update all posts with external images. Simply go to Posts » All Posts page and then click on the Screen Options button at the top.

Use Screen Options to Display 999 Posts at a Time

You need to increase the number in the ‘Number of items per page field’ field to ‘999’ and click the ‘Apply’ button.

WordPress will reload the page, and this time it will show up to 999 posts at a time.

Note: If you have slow web hosting, your server may not be able to handle updating so many posts at once. In that case, you would want to do smaller batches of posts at a time, or consider switching to better WordPress hosting.

Next, you can select all of your posts on this page by clicking the checkbox next to ‘Title’. After that, you should select ‘Edit’ under the bulk actions menu and click the ‘Apply’ button.

Editing All Posts in Bulk

WordPress will now show you a ‘Bulk Edit’ box with all selected posts.

You just need to click on the ‘Update’ button, and WordPress will update all your posts.

Updating All Posts in Bulk

Remember, don’t change any of the settings in the bulk edit settings that you see. You just need to click the ‘Update’ button.

This will trigger the plugin to check all selected posts and import external images as it finds them.

If you have more than 999 posts, then you will need to visit the next page to select the remaining posts.

We hope this tutorial helped you learn how to import external images in WordPress. You may also want to learn how to create a custom Instagram photo feed, or check out our list of must have plugins to grow your site.

Top 7 Features in Jakarta EE 10 Release

Java EE was the dominant force behind all the enterprise development in Java. Lately, it was renamed Jakarta EE, transitioning from JCP to Eclipse Foundation.

This transition opened the door to open governess, open compatibly testing (earlier Technology Compatibility Kit -TCK was closed source), and of course, open-source. That means no specific vendor has more influence than others; it's more distributed now.
