Some Post Formats seen as "empty" but shouldn't

[WraithKenny]

In wp_insert_post, there's a $maybe_empty check to see if title, content, or excerpt is not empty, and won't save if all are empty. Some Post formats don't require any of these fields.

Not. Helpful. :-/
Anyway, patch lets you save some post formats ('audio', 'video', 'quote', 'image', 'link') without title, content or excerpt.

Some notes on this:

When you submit an edit, with no title, content, or excerpt, the post doesn't save (autosave does, since it has a placeholder title)... but there's supposed to be an error message. The error message doesn't show; instead you get the published, view post message. (see #17115)

Also, The patch I submitted let's you save the post formats I listed (not a vetted list tho) even without title, content, or excerpt, but the patch is incomplete as it doesn't check if the appropriate meta is empty or not. (::TODO::) See 23859 for similar logic but perhaps needs format by format checks.

We should probably generate some kind of non-int title regardless of whether the post actually needs one.

It's up to themes to handle whether these types of post format posts will have a single view, and if they do, we need to take #5305 into account. IIRC, @alexkingorg covered this case in his original Post Formats UI concept and plugin.

Mentioned the title thing in my last Make/Core update:

Titles need to be filled in based on content for those formats, a la P2. Might be nice to try to do something smart with image, like detecting an alt or title attribute for the fill-in, but at the very least, something better than (no title) or Auto Draft.

We need to commit this- #23623 is problematic as well

[markjaquith]

Looks like the patch was the same as for #23623

---

In [23986]:

Allow the content of no-title audio, video, quote, and image posts to be blanked.
props wonderboymusic. fixes #23623.

There's still a problem with deleting image posts without a title (see ticket:24046:15). We don't have the format context in wp-admin/post.php after clicking the Delete link.

Looks like get_post_format() (from 23887.patch​) would be the correct solution here. Refreshed.

[markjaquith]

In 24015:

Use get_post_format() instead of assuming we already have it.

• Fixes an issue where image posts without a title could not be deleted

fixes #23887. see #24046. props WraithKenny, SergeyBiryukov.
