I ran into this problem and ended up creating a basic function to extract the “attached” media by URL from the body of the post (in my case a post of type document, but it should work with any kind of post): function get_first_link_url($post_id) { $content = get_post_field(‘post_content’, $post_id); if ($content == null) { return … Read more
The code below will only run once whenever a file is uploaded. We keep an array ( $image_mimes ) of acceptable image-mimetypes We get the current attachment mime type We make sure what is given is indeed an image ( because we don’t need unnecessary postmeta cluttering our table ) We grab the title from … Read more
Kind of confusing question, but I think you want: [mp3-jplayer tracks=”‘.implode(‘, ‘, get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘mp3’, false)).'”] Assuming you get a array of meta key values this will join the into a comma-separated string
I eventually worked this out. After a lot of thinking it dawned on me that attachments are merely posts assigned to the post_type of ‘attachment’ so then I soon discovered that attachments have a post_content field, as well as a post_title field. For my needs, I only needed the post_title attribute as my descriptions are … Read more
As Apple might’ve put it “There’s a plugin for that” 🙂 (Faster Image Insert)
I learned from Brian Fegter that you can Un-attach an image from a post while participating in this question: Can I attach an image to a different post? It isn’t exactly “simple”, but not to difficult. It’s the only solution I’ve been able to find.
You can add inputs and fields to attachments by hooking into attachment_fields_to_edit. This will add fields to both the modal as well as the attachment editor. The catch I found is that WordPress (if anyone has experienced differently PLMK) doesn’t save the extra fields data so you have to hook into a couple other items. … Read more
You want media_handle_sideload() Handles a side-loaded file in the same way as an uploaded file is handled by media_handle_upload(). // Array similar to a $_FILES upload array. $file_array = array( ‘name’ => ‘filename.jpg’, ‘tmp_name’ => ‘path/to/filename.jpg’, ); // Post ID to attach upload to, 0 for none. $post_id = 0; $attachment_id = media_handle_sideload( $file_array, $post_id … Read more
Firstly, reverse the order in your conditional. You should use if ( false == $stop ) { … It’s called a “Yoda conditional” and is on the list of best practices for WP code. Secondly, media_sideload_image won’t return a WP error object if things fail. If things fail, it will return the ID of the … Read more
So, if you start with this: $all_images = get_posts( array( ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’, ‘numberposts’ => -1, ) ); Then $all_images is an array of objects. Step through each one: foreach ( $all_images as $image ) {} Inside that foreach, you can use the normal parameters available to the $post object: $image->ID is the ID of … Read more
