fileEntry.getParent(function(dirEntry) {

console.log("got a parent");

console.log("full path = " + dirEntry.fullPath);

}, function(error) {

console.log("failed to get parent = " + error);

})

}, function() {

console.log("could not get file entry");

});

Likewise for calling dirEntry.getFile, except in this case we need our first argument to be a filepath (absolute or relative). Another note is that both these calls are asynchronous, and that calling the anonymous callbacks can have repercussions in regard to scope. So it make sense to call named functions declared in a strategic place.

Here is an example in which I call these methods inside a constructor function, and I need the callbacks to have access to some private variables of said function. The function takes a fileEntry object, and constructs a metadata object to be rendered as a table (and eventually be exported as an csv). Relating to our topic at hand, I am changing a metadata default for images to another value if the jpg sits next to a swf.

Anyway, you can see how in my “success” callback, I’m updating an external data array and re-rendering a table based on the async results.

$images =& get_children( 'post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=image' );

The problem here is that galleries, especially under the new media manager paradigm, don’t necessarily contain just images attached to the post. They actually could contain none, some or all.

So, the best way is actually to use get_shortcode_regex to grab the gallery shortcode. From there, we can count the “id” arguments, which represent universal identifiers for the photos regardless of what post they are attached to. If we don’t find any such arguments, we know that just the unadorned “[ gallery ]” is being used, meaning its safe to count images attachments.

if ( has_post_format( 'gallery' )) {
						// or filter by custom post type or category
						$pattern = get_shortcode_regex();
						preg_match('/'.$pattern.'/s', $post->post_content, $matches);
						if (is_array($matches) && $matches[2] == 'gallery') {
						   // do something
						   preg_match('/\[ gallery ids=\"(.*?)\"]/',$matches[0],$ids);
						  if (is_array($ids) && $ids[1] ) {
							$photos = explode(',',$ids[1]);
						  } else {
							$photos = get_children( array( 'post_parent' => $post->ID, 'post_type'   => 'image' ) );
						  }
						  echo count($photos ).' photos in this gallery.';
						}
					}

Here is a temporary fix:

Grab this old plugin (what Jetpack’s audio support is based from). Don’t install it, though. Find the “player.swf” file inside “\audio-player.2.0.4.6\audio-player\assets” Place this somewhere on your site, a good place is in your plugin directory.
Then go to “/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/modules/shortcodes” on your ftp, and edit “audio.php” Change line 237 to your local copy of “player.swf.” Change back when Automattic get their ish together.

#!/bin/bash
file="/export/home/jfishwi/paths.txt"
while IFS= read -r line
do
        # display $line or do somthing with $line
	echo "$line"
done <"$file"

find sourcedir -type f -exec mv {} targetdir \;

Obviously, your filemask will probably be a bit more involved.

var filename = document.URL.replace(/^.*[\\\/]/, '');

If you try to do this processing dynamically via phpThumb’s url API, it can be quite a challenge to get caching working correctly, and, generally you will be seeing performance hits, both in memory and page page. Luckily, we can hook into “image_make_intermediate_size” and process the image as described above. Try something like this in your functions.php

//obviously we need the library
require_once('/home/xxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/get-post-image/phpthumb/phpthumb.class.php');
add_filter('image_make_intermediate_size', 'james_rounded_filter');
 
function james_rounded_filter($file) {

        // create phpThumb object
        $phpThumb = new phpThumb();
        $phpThumb->resetObject();

        // set data source -- do this first, any settings must be made AFTER this call      
        $phpThumb->setSourceData(file_get_contents($file));
        $output_filename = $file;

        // PLEASE NOTE:
        // You must set any relevant config settings here. The phpThumb
        // object mode does NOT pull any settings from phpThumb.config.php
        $phpThumb->setParameter('config_document_root', '/home/xxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/get-post-image/phpthumb/');
        $phpThumb->setParameter('config_cache_directory', '/home/xxxx/public_html/wp-content/cache/phpthumb/');
		$phpThumb->setParameter('cache_directory_depth', 4);

        // set parameters (see "URL Parameters" in phpthumb.readme.txt)
        $phpThumb->setParameter('fltr', 'ric|12|12');
        $phpThumb->setParameter('q', '95');

        // generate & output thumbnail
        if ($phpThumb->GenerateThumbnail()) { // this line is VERY important, do not remove it!
            if ($phpThumb->RenderToFile($output_filename)) {
                // do something on success, besides processing
				error_log('Successfully rendered to "'.$output_filename.'"'."\n\n", 3, '/home/xxxx/public_html/wp-content/cache/thumblog.txt');
            } else {
                // do something with debug/error messages
                error_log('Failed:'.implode("\n\n", $phpThumb->debugmessages), 3, '/home/xxxx/public_html/wp-content/cache/thumblog.txt');
               die;
            }
        } else {
            // do something with debug/error messages
            error_log('Failed:'.$phpThumb->fatalerror."\n\n".implode("\n\n", $phpThumb->debugmessages), 3, '/home/xxxx/public_html/wp-content/cache/thumblog.txt');
            die;
        }
	
		if ( !is_wp_error($output_filename) && $output_filename) {
			return $output_filename;
		}
		
		return false;
}

If you only want to your processing to happen against a subset of images, then you should define a custom image size for this subset. You can then filter the pre-processing using a function like so:

function my_get_image_size( $name ) {
	global $_wp_additional_image_sizes;

	if ( isset( $_wp_additional_image_sizes[$name] ) )
		return $_wp_additional_image_sizes[$name];

	return false;
}

$name being whatever you named your custom size. Getter would be, something like this (what you are getting is an array of the values you initially set):

$image_size = my_get_image_size( 'my-custom-size' );

For example, if I had three arrays like so:

$colors = array('red', 'blue', 'green', 'yellow');
$numbers = array(1, 2, 3, 4);
$shapes = array('circle', 'square', 'triangle', 'pentagon'); 

And then after the shuffle of which I speak you might have:

$colors = array( 'green', 'yellow', 'red', 'blue');
$numbers = array(3, 4, 1, 2);
$shapes = array('triangle', 'pentagon', 'green', 'square', ); 

In other words, the position of “green” always matches “3″ always matches “triangle.”

This does the trick:

if (my arrays all equal each other, exercise for user) ) {
			$count = count($colors);
			$order = range(1, $count);

			shuffle($order);
			array_multisort($order, $colors, $numbers, $shapes);
		}
