<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>

Taxonomy Thumbnail

Does the work well

So easy to use, writing this review takes longer than using and understanding the plugin.

I needed that, it existed.

<p>Some of WP Dev Dashboard’s features are being ported over to the <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/meta/2016/07/12/plugin-directory-v3-open-beta/" rel="nofollow ugc">v3 WordPress plugin directory</a>!</p>

<p>WP Dev Dashboard takes improves upon the default plugin/theme interfaces for authors, and allows you to easily:</p>
<ol>
<li>View and respond to all of your unresolved plugin & theme support requests.</li>
<li>View useful statistics for all of your plugins & themes.</li>
</ol>
<p>The default wordpress.org plugin/theme author dashboards can be difficult to parse, particularly if you have authored numerous plugins and/or themes that generate a large number of support requests. This plugin allows you to easily view and respond to your unresolved plugin and theme support requests in a simple, easy-to-use interface. Additionally, you can view <em>all</em> of your plugin/theme statistics (version, WP compatibility, downloads, ratings, etc) in a sortable table that makes side-by-side comparison a cinch.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Displays plugin and theme support requests in sortable, collapsible metaboxes for ease of use.</li>
<li>Displays all plugins and themes in a sortable, easy-to-parse table.</li>
<li>Select which plugins and themes to show by username and/or slug.</li>
<li>Choose whether to show all support tickets, or just unresolved ones.</li>
<li>Implements caching to reduce load time for plugin and theme support ticket information.</li>
<li>Includes cache-busting “refresh” option to force refresh plugin and theme support ticket data.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Coming soon. . .</h4>
<p>WP Dev Dashboard is intended to be the go-to resource for WordPress plugin and theme authors looking for a better management experience.

WP Dev Dashboard

I have been feeling the need for something that will help me keep track of my WordPress.org items from one panel. Now we got something that works. Wow!



At last something that works

This is a kind of dashboard/service WordPress developers need, WordPress support forum + plugin repository sucks.
Is it going to evolve?
Which new features are you planning?
Anyway, 5 stars!



Worderful Idea

Great plugin, hopefully something similar gets added in V3 of the repository this June. There are 3 things that would help to make it more useful:
- a cut off date for support threads, so that you could pull say just ones that are unresolved in the last week
- threads marked as "not a support question" not coming up in the unresolved list
- the ability to hide certain unresolved issues, so that ones you know you won't answer stop appearing in the list
I imagine the last one would be more challenging.
Thanks again for a really useful dev plugin.



Love this plugin!

This plugin is great I should really give it 5 stars but it takes up a top level menu items when is unnecessary and bad practice.
Otherwise completely brilliant



Almost perfect

The better tool for monitoring your plugins & themes, including support requests, download stats, version support, and more.
