Database Value

Hello,

The DFI uses the WordPress media library. And it only stores the attachment ID.
Just as a regular featured image.
A regular featured image is stored in post_meta _thumbnail_id per post.
The DFI is an image stored in the wp_options > dfi_image_id

In your use case I would download the image, and upload it to the media library.
And save that ID as the dfi_image_id.

I don’t know how technical you are but this snippet can download and insert in the media library.

Let me know how it goes.

Ahh I see. I guess I’m more looking to generate a link for said image. I’ll give the snippet a try. I’m pretty new to all of this but I think that’s in the media.php file. Taking a stab in the dark haha. Thanks for your assistance so far.

What exactly are you trying to do?
I might be able to point you more in a better direction.

I am trying to make a URL for either the DFI or the normal featured image. I know that I need to reference the the ID but am uncertain how to generate the rest of the URL. Place it into the $thumb_url variable below so it goes to my websocket appropriately.
The best I achieved was getting a “default.jpg” at one point but it was essentially just a default missing image icon.

    if ( $new_status != 'publish' || $old_status == 'publish' || $post->post_type != 'post')
        return;
 
    $webhookURL = get_option('discord_webhook_url');
    $id = $post->ID;

    //$author = $post->post_author;
    //$authorName = get_the_author_meta('display_name', $author);
    $postTitle = $post->post_title;
    $permalink = get_permalink($id);
    $thumb_url = "default-or-featured-image-url";
    $description = $post->post_excerpt;
    $timestamp = $post->post_date;

    $postData = json_encode([
    "content" => "@here A dragonet just dropped off a new parchment: ",
    //"avatar_url" => "image url here",
    // Embeds Array
    "embeds" => [
        [
            "title" => $postTitle,
            "type" => "rich",
            "description" => $description,
            "url" => $permalink,
            "timestamp" => $timestamp,
            "color" => hexdec( "3366ff" ),
            "footer" => [
                "text" => "EoN Creations  -  https://eoncreations.com",
                "icon_url" => "https://eoncreations.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/cropped-EggOracle-180x180.png"
            ],
            "image" => [
                "url" => $thumb_url
            ],
            "thumbnail" => [
                "url" => $permalink
            ]
            ]
        ]   
    ], JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES | JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE );

I’m still not 100% clear on how your process goes, but I don’t think that’s needed at this point.

To get the url based on an ID there is wp_get_attachment_url.
Or maybe the WordPress rest API can help you can get pretty much all data using:
example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/media/YOUR_ID

You were right. I was just messing up with the syntax and arguments within the wp_get_attachment_url. Thanks again! Appreciate your help and enjoy the plugin as well.

No problem.

Good luck ??
