i’ve fuckin got it.

Got the function running but it’s ignoring switch_to_blog and copies the files in the origin blogs.dir. It doesn’t create the _thumnail_id entry in wp_ID_postmeta ?? Confusing shit.

The difference is in between “pretty much” and “exactly” and the deep focus and the nutshell… My scenario is different even if i wish i wouldn’t be ??

I need somebody who is familar with media_handle_sideload ??

Hi everbody,

actual state:
after a switch_to_blog and a $p = wp_insert_post( $my_post ); comes

/* here goes thumbnail part #2 */
    		  $filepath = $filename;
    		  //$filepath = 'wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/'. $filename ;
    		  $wp_filetype = wp_check_filetype( basename( $filepath ), null );
    		  $aFile["name"] = basename( $filepath );
    		  $aFile["type"] = $wp_filetype;
    		  $afile["tmp_name"] = $filepath;

    		  $attach_id = media_handle_sideload( $aFile, $p, 'This is optional file title' );
          /**/

while $filename is 2011/05/myimg.png.

Doesn’t do anything atm… Tables staying empty. Any ideas?

Regards
Jan

I am getting deeper into it, i think the right function would be
media_handle_sideload()… sleep mode for now.

to be honest, i am confused atm ??

Update:
I took a look in the sitewide tags plugin code, it stores the thumb in a new custom field. If there is no other way or solution to use built in functions and architecture i will do it the same way and modify the template i think… A disadvantage of this solution is that i wouldn’t keep the posts thumbnail in the global blog if origin post/blog deleted. An advantage is that i don’t have to double store it.
In conclusion i think there’s no other way than to copy it with php copy()…

Hi Andrea,

thanks for this first hint – i am not using Sitewide tags plugin but i will look into the code, is that what u mean?

Edit:
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' ); is still enabled by default, all client blogs are using twentyten theme in this early state ??
