@kaiser thanks! I need to write up a blog post, and get the final version uploaded to the Codex, but the hard part is done. :)

kaiser

@ChipBennett Please don't forget to replace the link to your page below the current template hierarchy img :)

Chip Bennett

@kaiser Oh, I'll leave the final/working version on that static Page. I'm just going to write a blog post to explain all of the features/details of the diagram.

@Brady was that you who needed SMS notifications for something? Amazon announced they now have those in some service

SMS
First 100 Amazon SNS SMS Notifications per month are free
$0.75 per 100 Amazon SNS SMS Notifications thereafter

Brady

I was talking about SMS but not about needing it

Rarst

ah, ok

Brady

US only or SMS to world?

I use tm4b for my SMS and if I want to send SMS in the US I use clickatel

Rarst

US only on launch it seems

Q: Does Amazon SNS currently support notification delivery to international phone numbers?
Currently Amazon SNS will only accept US phone numbers as valid subscription end-points.

Brady

but I havent been doing a lot of long distance relationships for a long time so my sms abroad usage has gone down to zero

Brady

10:50 AM

anyone got a link to an example on how to add an extra field to the media library

NVM i found one

wpengineer.com/2076/add-custom-field-attachment-in-wordpress

Brady

12:10 PM

anyone know why this: set_post_thumbnail_size( 166, 166, true ); in my theme functions file is being ignored?

its being overrriden by wordpress settings in media settings

Rarst

it's different sizes, you sure you are asking for right one?

Brady

<?php echo wp_get_attachment_image( $image->ID, "thumbnail" ); ?>

so im setting thumbnail size to 166*166 but its using WP default setting size of 150*150

Rarst

should be post-thumbnail

Brady

umm ok

I thought the post-thumbnail is what thumbnail is

Rarst

confusing as hell, but no :)

Brady

12:17 PM

so if I dont set post thumbnail size then what size is used?

so If I dont set a size I cannot use post-thumbnail to retrieve size?

im lost....

Rarst

the_post_thumbnail() it should handle that

or maybe not... not a quick question

Brady

add_image_size('thumbnail', 166, 166, false);
add_image_size('medium', 414, 414, false);
add_image_size('large', 800, 800, false);

^^ medium and large work but it doesnt on thumbnail

Rarst

native sizes are best ignored really

it's up to specific blog to set them...

Brady

not in this case

Rarst

from the start. what do you want to do and which cases to handle?

Brady

12:21 PM

I dont want the blog to set native sizes

Rarst

kill them then

Brady

I want the theme to control the native sizes. end of. I dont want to make 3 aditional sizes when I can use native ones

Rarst

as above, kill them? or need advice on how?

Brady

So you saying kill them by stopping wordpress making the native sizes?

Rarst

yeah

Brady

12:23 PM

but If I do that then the insert image into post no longer works

Rarst

hm, really?

Brady

because thumbnail/medium/large images are no longer there

Rarst

I don't do much (any) inserting, sorry if misleading...

ok, then leave native. don't use them. what are the issues with not using them?

Brady

arrrgghhhh!!!

ok listen up ;)

add_image_size('medium', 414, 414, false);
add_image_size('large', 800, 800, false);

the above works in overriding the medium and large image sizes

great because my theme can set the sizes and still maintain all the WP functionailty with inserting into post

medium and large still exist on the system and WP knows they are there

but I manually want my theme to set the thumbnail size to

Rarst

bzzzz... as above - messing with native in code is not so good idea

Brady

12:27 PM

Im not messing with native

the above is in my theme functions file

Im not touching core

Rarst

ok, let's try to make your evil ways work...

Brady

Im simply telling WP to set the large and medium image sizes to what I want

Rarst

what is your problem with thumbnail size?

Brady

just as if I went into settings and set them myself

Im after this because its a multisite setup running the same theme 15 times.

Instead of making sure each instance of the multisite is running the correct images sizes its better if my theme sets the sizes for them

Rarst

@kaiser I closed github question after all... sorry but it's clearly not scope as per cleaned up FAQ and I don't want to bend rules

ok, I agreed to doing evil already! what's the problem with thumb?

Brady

12:29 PM

add_image_size('medium', 414, 414, false);
add_image_size('large', 800, 800, false);

^^ works yes

Rarst

ok

Brady

add_image_size('thumbnail', 166, 166, true);

^^ doesnt work

Rarst

define doesn't work. what are you trying to do after this that fails?

Brady

doesnt work as WP is ignoring it and using whats set in settings instead

Rarst

ignoring when? show me the function calls :)

Brady

12:32 PM

Ive given you all the code I have

I want my theme to set the thumbnail size to 166*166

so I use this:

add_image_size('thumbnail', 166, 166, true);

but then I upload an image and it makes the image to the size of 150*150

not 166*166

add_image_size('medium', 414, 414, false);
add_image_size('large', 800, 800, false);

add_image_size('thumbnail', 166, 166, true);

^^ doesnt

^^ works

cannot get any simpler than that

^^ those are my media settings. But I want WP to ignore them as the sizes as I cannot rely on every instance of WP on the multisite to set these correctly

Im running a multisite because its for a global firm that want different content for each country but the theme is exactly the same

Rarst

I don't know. it should work. what image is generated? physical 150x150? what does meta array has?

Brady

image size generated is 150*150

a 166*166 is not generated

Rarst

size "thumbnail" ?

Brady

yes

@Rarst meta array?

umm hang on

Rarst

I've dropped your add_ calls into my test theme and it worked just fine for all sizes

Brady

12:42 PM

just testing it now after wiping any existing images

ok yes it creates the 166*166 image but when you echo it to the screen it turns it into a 150*150

Rarst

ok, progress

what's the call to echo?

Brady

<?php echo wp_get_attachment_image( $image->ID, "thumbnail" ); ?>

also in "insert into post" is says the thumbnail is 150*150 despite the thumnail that was generated was 166*166

Rarst

works fine for me

Brady

not here...

are you uploaded an image when attaching to a page or using the media section?

Rarst

media

Brady

12:49 PM

can you try when attaching to a page

kaiser

@Brady Have you already dumped the registered image sizes? Maybe some predefined stuff is interfering?

@Rarst It's ok, I edited the Q anyway

Brady

@kaiser how?

kaiser

var_dump( $GLOBALS['_wp_additional_image_sizes'] );

Brady

rray(4) {
  ["home_case_study"]=>
  array(3) {
    ["width"]=>
    int(208)
    ["height"]=>
    int(138)
    ["crop"]=>
    bool(true)
  }
  ["thumbnail"]=>
  array(3) {
    ["width"]=>
    int(166)
    ["height"]=>
    int(166)
    ["crop"]=>
    bool(true)
  }
  ["medium"]=>
  array(3) {
    ["width"]=>
    int(414)
    ["height"]=>
    int(414)
    ["crop"]=>
    bool(false)
  }
  ["large"]=>
  array(3) {
    ["width"]=>
    int(800)
    ["height"]=>
    int(800)
    ["crop"]=>
    bool(false)

all correct there so why am I still getting 150*150 image size for thumbnail

Rarst

yeah, physical is changed but upload says 150x and inserts as such in HTML

kaiser

12:54 PM

Wrap it up in a function and add it to wp_footer hook.

Brady

ok

@kaiser same output

kaiser

Ok... try this filter: apply_filters( 'wp_get_attachment_image_attributes', $attr, $attachment )

Brady

whats the rest?

kaiser

Just look inside wp_get_attachment_image()

That's exactly where it's failing, right?

Brady

youve lost me

@Rarst are you further investigating?

Rarst

12:57 PM

yeah

kaiser

no. I just say dump it, exactly where it's failing and inspect the output.

Brady

can haz snippet pleewwss?

kaiser

?

Brady

can I have the code to do what your asking me to do

cos Im not 100% sure what your asking me to do

kaiser

function test_brady_snippet( $attr, $attachment ) {
     var_dump( $GLOBALS['_wp_additional_image_sizes' ] );
     return $attr;
}
add_filter( 'wp_get_attachment_image_attributes',  'test_brady_snippet', 20, 2 )

Brady

1:01 PM

ty

kaiser

mom: last line

Brady

same output

kaiser

priority + args

ok...

sounds like image_downsize() is failing

Try this filter: apply_filters('image_downsize', false, $id, $size)

Let's see what's inside $size

Brady

function test_brady_snippet( $id, $size ) {
     var_dump( $size );
    die();
}
add_filter( 'image_downsize',  'test_brady_snippet', 10, 2 );

99

kaiser

You know what: Go into core and do a var_dump of $width, $height inside image_downsize().

/wp-includes/media.php line ~170

if it's not failing there, I don't know where else it could

Brady

1:07 PM

wp_get_attachment_image_src($attachment_id, $size, $icon);

^^ is returning the wrong size

ok that function uses downsize let me go into that

kaiser

yea, that's what I'm saying

Brady

array(4) { [0]=> string(57) "http://www.hi-rezz.com/uk/files/2011/09/large-166x166.gif" [1]=> int(150) [2]=> int(150) [3]=> bool(true) }

image_constrain_size_for_editor()

next function to look into?

kaiser

after what if/else exactly? I mean "until where is it ok"?

Brady

huh?

kaiser

nvm. wrote it before your last 2 lines

check wp_constrain_dimensions() first

Brady

1:12 PM

its 166*166 before it gets to image_constrain_size_for_editor()

kaiser

then move up to beginning of wp_constrain_dimensions()

just to see if it fails there

Brady

ok

    var_dump(array($width, $height, $max_width, $max_height));

	return wp_constrain_dimensions( $width, $height, $max_width, $max_height );

$width and $height is set to 166

bu the max values are set to 150

elseif ( $size == 'thumb' || $size == 'thumbnail' ) {
		$max_width = intval(get_option('thumbnail_size_w'));
		$max_height = intval(get_option('thumbnail_size_h'));

^^ see that

its getting 150 from settings

kaiser

trac

+ a good idea to fix that :)

Brady

how would you fix though?

kaiser

nvm. just joking

Brady

1:16 PM

what I dont understand though is this

elseif ( $size == 'medium' ) {
		$max_width = intval(get_option('medium_size_w'));
		$max_height = intval(get_option('medium_size_h'));

^^ same code for medium and large

kaiser

Yea, but you got an option in Admin UI to set thumbnail size

Settings > Media

Rarst

ok, I debugged down to about same :)

Brady

i know that

Rarst

did I mention that messing with native sizes is bad idea? proof

Brady

OK I no have to implement some code that checks those options and if not set to what I want then change them myself :P

Rarst

1:20 PM

filter get_option() for those in addition to adding size... or just filter get option. dirty time

kaiser

Yea, but don't alter anything

Brady

the reason why I didn't see this problem in the large and medium sizes is because what Im setting them to is smaller than the default sizes

kaiser

Just add a message to wp_footer and admin_notices: "Brady, you've been a bad boy! I told you to stay away from defaults!".

Brady

how much I'd love to do that I cannot

so would it be wise to filter:

$pre = apply_filters( 'pre_option_' . $option, false );

Rarst

yep

Brady

1:23 PM

joy to the world! there is some light at the end of the tunnel

kaiser

@Brady Haven't you read the "Reserved Names" in Codex?

Brady

FU! ;)

kaiser

;)

Brady

You should never try to mess with them.

lol

I'll do what I want!

Rarst

need to change that italic to bold. and uppercase.

and obligatory kitten-will-die pic

Brady

1:26 PM

hahaha

I eat kittens for breakfast

kaiser

I only know italic in wiki mark up :P

Rarst

image management in WP is such a pain...

kaiser

reworked

Brady

ha!

add_filter( 'pre_option_large_size_h', 'sc_hi_rezz_large_size' );
add_filter( 'pre_option_large_size_w', 'sc_hi_rezz_large_size' );
function sc_hi_rezz_large_size() { return 800; }
add_filter( 'pre_option_medium_size_h', 'sc_hi_rezz_medium_size' );
add_filter( 'pre_option_medium_size_w', 'sc_hi_rezz_medium_size' );
function sc_hi_rezz_medium_size() { return 414; }
add_filter( 'pre_option_thumbnail_size_h', 'sc_hi_rezz_thumbnail_size' );
add_filter( 'pre_option_thumbnail_size_w', 'sc_hi_rezz_thumbnail_size' );

^^ problem solved

you know I will come back to that in the future and I will be stuck for hours why image sizes aint obeying me

^^ will because of an undocumented hack like this

lunch time!

brb

thanks all for the help

Rarst

@kaiser that is awesome :) made my day, LOL (literally)

kaiser

1:38 PM

@Brady click "dirty hacks". You'll never forget again. :)

Anyone successful with alter admin css? This doesn't work for me (filter added on `login_init` hook):
function dump_admin_css( $src, $file )
{
var_dump( $src );
var_dump( $file );
return $src;
}
add_filter( 'wp_admin_css', 'dump_admin_css', 20, 2 );

Damn. Core sets $force_echo to true and bypasses the filter so half of the function will never work anywhere... omg

Rarst

this is... CORE!!!

kaiser

lol

Brady

on WPSE is it possible to un award an answer

Rarst

1:53 PM

@Brady should be?.. can definitely change

Q: Set default image sizes in WordPress to hard crop

How do I set the medium and large images sizes in WP to hard crop? In my theme I can set the thumbnail size to hard crop using this: add_theme_support('post-thumbnails'); set_post_thumbnail_size( 96, 96, true ); But I can see no way to make the medium and large images to hard crop. Is there ...

any one want some extra points

^^ cos that answer isnt technically right after what I learnt today

kaiser

Hm. How would I bring the admin bar to the login screen?

		show_admin_bar( true );
		add_action( 'login_head', '_wp_admin_bar_init' );
		add_action( 'login_head', 'wp_admin_bar_header' ); // remove bar for print
		add_action( 'login_head', '_admin_bar_bump_cb' );
		add_action( 'login_footer', 'wp_admin_bar_render' );

This drops a lot of stuff, but no styles...

Brady

why would u want admin bar on login screen?

kaiser

because I got my dev menu added there

Helps me inspecting my theme hooks and such

Brady

3:48 PM

in WP is it possible to get nav items to show selected status if on a single news item

I have the news page set to my page of posts

if I go to the news page the nav item gets the correct css class added to say im on the news page

but if I go to read a single post or go to an archive (selected category) the nav item loses its class
