Lucy,

I just uploaded a patch that should resolve your problem and in fact will allow you to upload any kind of image file.

Ivy,

starting at line 75:

if(exif_imagetype($_FILES["custom_image"]["tmp_name"])==IMAGETYPE_PNG) {
				$new_name = plugin_dir_path(__FILE__) . "ribbon_maker_ribbon".$_POST['ribbon_maker_slot'].".png";
				move_uploaded_file($_FILES["custom_image"]["tmp_name"],$new_name);
				update_option('ribbon_maker_do_custom'.$_POST['ribbon_maker_slot'],'active');
			} else {
				echo "Please upload a png image";
			}

The code in that section simply checks for an image type. Can you tell me exactly what steps you are taking to create this, including the type of file etc. As much detail as can be given will be extremely helpful. Creating a camstudio screen captured recording might be very useful too as you won’t have to describe it, I can just watch the resulting video.

If you produce a video for me to watch of the problem you send the private link from youtube to it to me at [email protected].

Also in your ERROR_LOG on your site, you might have to use FTP of the “file browser” plugin to see it, what is the exact description of the FATAL ERROR?

Ivy,

What version of WordPress are you using?

And for PHP?

Thanks,

Hypershock

oh, so this doesn’t work for automatic posts like those that are pulled in from the outside. hmm…

Thanks for the quick feedback but the paranoia adds an extreme level of complexity to the plugin.

Perhaps you need add a paranoia block that when set requires you set manually as directed defines scripts but when not set database fields will be sufficient. In other words leave it up to the site owner to decide the level of complexity. After all they might have something like Wordfence installed and having your idea of security might not be beneficial, needed or warranted.

My other question to you is how does wordpress.com know how to decrypt the data if you set the encryption seed on your side with a define but you don’t set it anywhere else? I only ask because the program doesn’t appear to pushing as you said it would in description and I have setup as far as I can tell exactly according to your instructions. Which is why I have requested a video or screencast.

The point is the plugin is complicated.

Ok, thanks for the feedback, I’ll see what I can do with it, it might take a week or two get a new version out as I am also working on a new version Ribbon Maker as well.

well it doesn’t run in such a way as to hog the server it pulls a few at a time. currently there is no way to manually trigger it. however that sounds like an interesting feature to ad. as you are aware or should be, I resurrected the project after realizing Dan Fratean could not be found to support it himself.

btw, if you know of anyone that would like to help with plugin development, I’d be more than willing to add them to this or any of my other projects so that all of my plugins can advance faster.

Cheers.

Hmm, well I just had wpematico pull in about 8 new posts and I have yet to see a single one cross post to my wordpress.com page.

Is it possible you could make a screen cast youtube video showing us how you set up your plugin?

Mark you could add those actions to anything you have that autofires, it in theory should work for you.

you don’t actually do anything, after it is installed it begins working behind the scenes automatically. After a few hours your should begin to see descriptions appear on your taxonomy pages automatically.

I see its been four hours since you posted about it. So by the time you respond to me it will be well enough along to have at least autodescribed at least a 1000 or more taxonomies. Let me know if it still hasn’t done your custom ones and I’ll dive into the code and see what I have to do to rectify it.

Update:

We are having some great success. However, I need to change the estimated release date to the 14th of October 2012. If there were other people involved in this project, it would likely be faster.

Oh, what’s that? Did I just ask again. Yes, I did. If you have the skills and are willing to devote a bit of time now and again, I’d be extremely happy to add you to the project.

Cheers!

RonDsy,

What are you using for your graphic at surviveinsanfrancisco.com? as the graphic in the upper right corner isn’t loading. If its a generated ribbon you need to “regenerate the image”.

You can also it in action at Bowie TX dot com.

Glad to have your help Brian! ??
