WordPress Hack: Upload From Post
This is a geeky thing, but I take a lot of code from the WordPress community and since I cobbled together a crappy solution I figured that I might as well share it.
Doing something as simple as adding an image is a pain in the ass. There’s an upload screen built in but, you have to leave the post to get there (or open a new window). What I did was make a pop-up link on the posting screen. When I click that it lets me upload and get back to my post. This is a read-me of sorts:
INSTALL:
1. Backup admin-header, edit-form, and edit-form-advanced,
2. Copy the 5 included files to /wp-admin
3. Done.
Changing of link layout or styles can be done in edit-form and edit-form advanced, in the Quicktag section
FILES:
1. _admin-header_: This contains the addition of Javascript to allow pop-ups of controlled size.
2. _admin-header-minimal_: this is a minimal header to keep the upload box simple
3. _edit-form_: This is where the link to the upload dialog is (in the Quicktag div)
4. _edit-form-advanced_: same as above, just for Advanced Posts
5. _upload-minimal_: This is a minimal version of upload.php to keep the upload box simple.
Very Recently, there has been a great deal of investigation by the
American FTC against blogs and website owners
for not stating their advertising profits, or existing
relationships with advertising agencies.
What are your personal ideas about how this could hurt
the blogging community?
