Add a new image validation test

    I’m running Events Manager 5.6.2 on a WP 4.4.2 install.

    I need to extend the validations performed on the images sent via the front-end event submission for used by guest visitors.

    Currently, tests are performed for mime type and minimum / maximum width and height; I need to check for things like file size and resolution / ratio.

    I skimmed through the code and located the image_validate() function on the /classes/em-object.php file. If I insert my validation code there, it works the way I want:

    (...)
        function image_validate(){
                $type = $this->get_image_type();
                if( $type ){
                        if ( !empty($_FILES[$type.'_image']) && $_FILES[$type.'_image']['size'] > 0 ) {
                                if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES[$type.'_image']['tmp_name'])) {

(...)
                                        $proportion = round(($width / $height),2);
                                        if ( $proportion != 1.62) {
                                                $this->add_error("Wrong proportions!");
                                        }
(...)

    However, I don’t want to manually edit the plugin files. I want to extend functionality using hooks and filters.

    The official site says:

    We’re in the process of adding hooks and filters to the plugin in order to make Events Manager as flexible as possible. There are already a few in place, but for now you need to search for them in your editors.

    I’ve found the return apply_filters('em_object_image_validate', count($this->errors) == 0, $this); in theimage_validate function, but I’m getting confused on how to implement something around it.

    you can try to hook into em_event_validate filter; for reference you can see this under classes/em-event.php

    I’m still trying to wrap my head around filters and hooks.

    I added the following code to my child theme’s functions.php:

    add_filter('em_event_validate','some_validation_function');
function some_validation_function($validation) {
     if($some_logic_here) {
             $validation = false;
             echo $some_error_message;
        }
        return $validation;
}

    However, the error message shows up first thing in the HTML output, before even the DOCTYPE. Obviuosly, I’m doing something wrong. I’d like it to show up with the other error messages.

    I noticed the classes/em-event.php file uses the add_error function, but it is defined in the classes/em-object.php file I can’t use it on my functions.php file.

    How do I proceed?

    I also need to perform some validation on the length of the event name.

    I noticed both these lines

    return apply_filters('em_event_validate', $validate_post && $validate_image && $validate_meta && $validate_tickets, $this );

    and

    return apply_filters('em_event_validate_meta', count($this->errors) == 0, $this );

    will pass an EM_Event object ($this), if I understood it correctly.

    So I’d need to validate the $this->event_name field.

    However, when I add a second parameter to my function, I get this warning:

    PHP Warning:  Missing argument 2 for my_validation_function() in <CHILDTHEME>/functions.php on line 89

    How can I retrieve the EM_Event object in my functions.php file?

    I see. Thanks.

    If anyone ever needs to achieve this, that’s how I did it:

    add_filter('em_event_validate','some_validation_function', 10, 2);
function some_validation_function($validation, $event) {
     if($some_logic_here) {
             $validation = false;
             event->add_error($some_error_message);
        }
        return $validation;
}
