<p>This plugin was created to make easier the life of people that want to get pictures, images, photos from the web, rather than download your image on your computer and, then, upload it in your media library, you can paste the image url in the field and get it from the web straight in your media library. Afterword you can click to set the post thumbnail and you will find the aquired image in your media library, ready to be inserted in your post.</p>
<p>This plugin is a simple box, activate the plugin, follow the settings link, activate the option to see the new form in the post thumbnail metabox in the post edit page and it’s done!</p>
<p>I created this plugin mainly for me, when I was creating websites I incurred the need to quickly grab some of my photos from another website ands that was the reason of this idea, it is something like creating a tunnel from one site to another to transfer images.</p>


Post Thumbnail from URL

Post Thumbnail From URL is a plugin to quickly import images from the web straight to your Media Library using a public URL.

Grégory Viguier

<p>This plugin is meant for developers, it allows to attach a thumbnail to taxonomy terms.</p>
<h4>UI for setting the thumbnails</h4>
<p>The thumbnail can be added on term creation or later on the term edition page.<br />
The terms list has a column displaying the current thumbnail (so far, no specific action here).<br />
The plugin uses the “new” media window (the one used since WP 3.5), not the old thickbox.<br />
I made some extra efforts to enhance accessibility. I’m not an a11y expert but the UI is not only a “Add thumbnail” button. For instance, the new <code>wp.a11y.speak()</code> is used when available. Please give me feedback if you think it can be improved.<br />
Works with or without JavaScript.<br />
If JavaScript is enabled, thumbnails are set via ajax in the term edition window, no need to update the term.<br />
By default, the UI is displayed for all public taxonomies, but this can be filtered that way:</p>
<pre><code>add_filter( 'sftth_taxonomies', 'my_taxonomies_with_thumbnail' );

function my_taxonomies_with_thumbnail( $taxonomies ) {
    unset( $taxonomies['post_tag'] );
    $taxonomies['my_custom_tax'] = 'my_custom_tax';
    return $taxonomies;
}
</code></pre>
<h4>Template tags</h4>
<p>Find them in <code>inc/template-tags.php</code>.<br />
<strong>Important note: for WP 4.4+, these functions use <code>term_id</code>. For WP < 4.4, they use <code>term_taxonomy_id</code>.</strong><br />
I tried to mimic the post thumbnail functions:</p>
<ol>
<li><code>get_term_thumbnail_id( $term_id )</code>: Retrieve term thumbnail ID.</li>
<li><code>has_term_thumbnail( $term_id )</code>: Check if a term has a thumbnail attached to it.</li>
<li><code>the_term_thumbnail( $term_id, $size = 'post-thumbnail', $attr = '' )</code>: Display the term thumbnail.</li>
<li><code>get_term_thumbnail( $term_id, $size = 'post-thumbnail', $attr = '' )</code>: Retrieve the term thumbnail.</li>
<li><code>set_term_thumbnail( $term_id, $thumbnail_id )</code>: Set a term thumbnail.</li>
<li><code>delete_term_thumbnail( $term_id )</code>: Detach a thumbnail from a term.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Store the data</h4>
<p>From WordPress 4.4, the term metas API is used.<br />
Below WordPress 4.4, there are two ways to store the thumbnail IDs:</p>
<ol>
<li>Use term metas with the plugin <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/meta-for-taxonomies/" rel="ugc">Meta for Taxonomies</a>.</li>
<li>Use an option (an array association of <code>term_taxonomy_id</code> => <code>thumbnail_id</code> integers). The option name can be customized by defining the constant <code>SFTTH_OPTION_NAME</code> in <code>wp-config.php</code>.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Get terms</h4>
<p>Use <code>get_terms()</code> with a specific parameter to retrieve only terms with a thumbnail:</p>
<pre><code>$terms = get_terms( array(
    'with_thumbnail' => true,
) );
</code></pre>
<p>From WordPress 4.4, you can also use a small helper to build your meta query:</p>
<pre><code>$terms = get_terms( array(
    'meta_query' => array(
        'relation' => 'AND',
        array(
            // Any meta query.
        ),
        sftth_meta_query(),
    ),
) );
</code></pre>
<p>Below WordPress 4.4, if you use the plugin <em>Meta for Taxonomies</em>, you should always cache thumbnails.<br />
When using <code>'with_thumbnail' => false</code> you will retrieve all terms, even those without a thumbnail, but the thumbnails will be cached, saving calls to the database later:</p>
<pre><code>$terms = get_terms( array(
    'with_thumbnail' => false,
) );
</code></pre>
<h4>Uninstall</h4>
<p>When uninstalling the plugin, you can decide to not delete the thumbnails, simply define a constant in <code>wp-config.php</code>:</p>
<pre><code>define( 'SFTTH_KEEP_DATA', true );
</code></pre>
<h4>Translations</h4>
<ul>
<li>US English</li>
<li>French</li>
</ul>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<p>Should work starting from WP 3.5, but tested only in WP 4.2.2+ so far.</p>
