This is an automated, complete version of the use of get_template_part() in Twenty Ten. I've written posts on the [http://wp.me/pS0xt-1f justification for modular themes] and [http://wp.me/pS0xt-30 their potential to transform theme organization]. Based on [http://wp.me/pS0xt-3O my tests], these functions should cause no noticeable difference in performance. The patch has the added benefit of creating an accurate global $wp_template_hierarchy object (and a getter method), so any plugin/theme can access the template hierarchy for $wp_query. The patch introduces several new functions: get_template_module($folder), get_template_hierarchy(), update_template_hierarchy(), and 2 private functions. Finally, the patch also add a 'locate_template' filter on $template_names at the beginning of locate_template(), and turns the large conditional in template-loader.php into a function: template_loader()." koopersmith Very Popular 10201 Remove user-specific caps Role/Capability 2.8 normal normal 10 Future Release enhancement assigned early 2009-06-17T23:02:36Z 2013-01-04T00:51:12Z "See IRC discussions from June 18th 2009 * The current role system is rather complicated, But has a lot of flexibility * A lot of the flexibility isn't even used by most (ie. the ability to have a user with a Roll + a single capability) * The role system starts having trouble with a high number of users * To look up every user with a certain cap. it requires loading all the users, and then checking individually. The proposed changes are: * That we reduce the complex system to something much more simple: * Roles are retained: 1 role per meta entry, and since the meta API allows for multiple values for the same key, this would have the benefit of multiple roles, and direct lookups. * However: * Remove the ability for a user to be part of a Role, and have an extra capability added on top of that. * This has the ability to significantly increase performance, As now: * Looking up users with a specific cap is easy: * Filter the role list for roles with that cap * SQL the usermeta table for users in those roles * Select those users (if needed, else return the ID's) * An upgrade path is available which doesnt require extra tables, and reduces the ammount of serialization * The other option is a whole new set of tables.. which.. those who are sane (And there are some insane people in WP Dev..) realise that its not really needed. * Fine grain control has never been possible from WP without a plugin, Nothing would change here, If a user wants fine grained control over permissions, They'd still have to run a plugin, Its just that that plugin may have to do more heavy lifting now -- since wordpress's API/role system would be simpler and not support the extra fangledangles."

One of the problems with this approach is that the server becomes full of image files that will be never used. Another problem is that when someone changes their theme the image sizes simply doesn't match, forcing people to use a plugin to regenerate all image files, and once again lots of those files will never be used. So theme developers right now are using some sort of image resizing script like timthumb that works outside of wp. I think it has many drawbacks comparing to a native implementation. So I made a function that uses WordPress native image handling capabilities to resize and save those resized images for future use. I use this for attached images as well as standalone files such as custom fields and other images. What I want here is just to share my solution, and maybe we can someday put something like this into core (actually something better then this): {{{ /* * Resize images dynamically using wp built in functions * Victor Teixeira * * php 5.2+ * * Exemple use: * * * "" width="""" height="""" /> * * @param int $attach_id * @param string $img_url * @param int $width * @param int $height * @param bool $crop * @return array */ function vt_resize( $attach_id = null, $img_url = null, $width, $height, $crop = false ) { // this is an attachment, so we have the ID if ( $attach_id ) { $image_src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $attach_id, 'full' ); $file_path = get_attached_file( $attach_id ); // this is not an attachment, let's use the image url } else if ( $img_url ) { $file_path = parse_url( $img_url ); $file_path = ltrim( $file_path['path'], '/' ); //$file_path = rtrim( ABSPATH, '/' ).$file_path['path']; $orig_size = getimagesize( $file_path ); $image_src[0] = $img_url; $image_src[1] = $orig_size[0]; $image_src[2] = $orig_size[1]; } $file_info = pathinfo( $file_path ); $extension = '.'. $file_info['extension']; // the image path without the extension $no_ext_path = $file_info['dirname'].'/'.$file_info['filename']; $cropped_img_path = $no_ext_path.'-'.$width.'x'.$height.$extension; // checking if the file size is larger than the target size // if it is smaller or the same size, stop right here and return if ( $image_src[1] > $width || $image_src[2] > $height ) { // the file is larger, check if the resized version already exists (for crop = true but will also work for crop = false if the sizes match) if ( file_exists( $cropped_img_path ) ) { $cropped_img_url = str_replace( basename( $image_src[0] ), basename( $cropped_img_path ), $image_src[0] ); $vt_image = array ( 'url' => $cropped_img_url, 'width' => $width, 'height' => $height ); return $vt_image; } // crop = false if ( $crop == false ) { // calculate the size proportionaly $proportional_size = wp_constrain_dimensions( $image_src[1], $image_src[2], $width, $height ); $resized_img_path = $no_ext_path.'-'.$proportional_size[0].'x'.$proportional_size[1].$extension; // checking if the file already exists if ( file_exists( $resized_img_path ) ) { $resized_img_url = str_replace( basename( $image_src[0] ), basename( $resized_img_path ), $image_src[0] ); $vt_image = array ( 'url' => $resized_img_url, 'width' => $new_img_size[0], 'height' => $new_img_size[1] ); return $vt_image; } } // no cached files - let's finally resize it $new_img_path = image_resize( $file_path, $width, $height, $crop ); $new_img_size = getimagesize( $new_img_path ); $new_img = str_replace( basename( $image_src[0] ), basename( $new_img_path ), $image_src[0] ); // resized output $vt_image = array ( 'url' => $new_img, 'width' => $new_img_size[0], 'height' => $new_img_size[1] ); return $vt_image; } // default output - without resizing $vt_image = array ( 'url' => $image_src[0], 'width' => $image_src[1], 'height' => $image_src[2] ); return $vt_image; } }}} " vteixeira Popular 7795 Activate and Deactivate Theme hooks Themes 2.7 normal normal 5 Future Release enhancement assigned 2008-09-26T20:40:53Z 2013-02-07T21:54:02Z Currently, there is no standard way of checking whether of theme is activated, deactivated and uninstalled.

Is its parent directory writable by the server? }}} In each case, the root error is the same, but the second error message points the way to a solution. Even if the user doesn't know herself what that message means, it's a message that provides the necessary information to someone else who does and is trying to help the user. The first message is completely useless, as it states only what we already know: something went wrong. The reason Media > Add new doesn't offer a helpful message is that the error is generated on one page request, and ''then'' the user is redirected to another page. We need a standard, cross-page-load way of conveying messages in admin. I've thought of a few possible ways of doing this: * Define and use a standardized set of error codes and associated error messages. This is similar to what happens currently on many pages: the unhelpful ""Error saving media attachment."" appears when the message argument is set to ""3."" What I'm suggesting would use a common set of message codes across the admin and be much more detailed. So the above situation would instead produce a message like ""Unable to create the uploads directory."" * Save error messages to a cookie. Unlike the previous method, this would allow messages to be made particular to their event. * Have some kind of user messaging stack. New messages would be pushed into a user's stack (stored in usermeta) and popped off after a certain time, or when read, etc. This has the advantage of lasting across sessions and browsers and being usable for other applications, such as PMs between users.

One problem with them is they often include their own styles and scripts. The problem here is that several plugins with useful features mean a browser needs to download 10+ javascripts and stylesheets. This isn't good for page load. It's awful. See: http://www.die.net/musings/page_load_time/ My suggestion would be an API that allows all plugin/css to be included in 1 PHP generated CSS and Javascript. This would drastically consolidate requests. For performance reasons it should ideally be cached so that it's only regenerated when a plugin is loaded/reloaded. This is becoming a bigger issue as plugins become more common and useful. I hope a solution is found that gives plugin authors the freedom they need, and blog owners the performance they want, without having to sacrifice features. I think channeling all the requests into 1 JS and 1 CSS file would achieve that.

Typically, the requester is looking into doing front-end ajax requests and the like. There are other use cases, such as wanting to catch specific URIs -- e.g. a trailing /print/ to the url, which the permalink API is incapable of catching. They all got rejected on grounds that there is the init hook that can be used just as well for ajax. Or the template_redirect hook in place of an ob_start hook. The list goes on. When you want WP and plugins to be loaded '''and''' fully initialized, instantiated and ready to go, setting a priority to obscene levels on the init hook works (I typically use 1000000)... but it always feels like you're working around a crippled API. Starting output buffers on template_redirect with a priority -1000000 feels equally clunky. Then, there is the front-end ajax. Yes, admin-ajax.php can be used unauthenticated... But the fact of the matter is, you can end up with SSL turned on when it's not useful, and the lack of an wp-ajax.php file makes many a plugin dev wonder where in the bloody hell he should catch his own requests. It would be sweet if this all got fixed in WP 3.0. The argument that goes ""a hook already exists"" seems extremely invalid to me. There are many places in WP where two hooks (and oftentimes many more) can be used to achieve the same result. Think wp_headers and send_headers, for instance. What they have in common is some kind of before/after flow, which init and template_redirect are currently lacking. One could argue that parse_request is nearby init, and that wp is nearby template_redirect, so they'd be good enough. But the first of these parses expensive regular expressions before firing, and both are only known to WP junkies. Suggested hooks for WP 3.0: - a wp-ajax.php file built similarly to admin-ajax.php. - an wp_loaded hook at the very end of wp-settings.php, with a commentary that tells plugin authors that init should be used to instantiate, wp_loaded should be used to act once everything is instantiated, and that wp-ajax.php has hooks that are specific to ajax requests. - an ob_start (or pre_load_template, or whatever...) hook at the very beginning of template-loader.php, with a commentary that tells plugin authors that the new hook should be used to instantiate such as output buffering once WP is fully loaded, while the second is traditionally used to pick an arbitrary template."
