Feature Requests: Filters on Settings Screen

  • I’m loving Imsanity, and we’re getting ready to move forward with it into production. Unfortunately, there are some incredibly minor ‘hacks’ I’d have to do with it for our environment. I was hoping you’d be willing to throw in some basic filters so I wouldn’t have to modify the files.

    The issue is on the Settings page for Site Administrators. Basically, our users aren’t actually able to backup their wp-content folders (and I’m thinking that most Site Admins in a multisite environment aren’t actually able to do that either).

    I’d love it if you passed some of the text through a filter so that we could easily modify it.

    There’s another ‘feature’ that we’ll want, but I don’t expect you to implement it in your plugin, but figured I’d share it here in case you thought it made sense to do so after all.

    Basically, we plan to Network Activate the plugin so that we can lock Site Admins out of the settings. However, on a network with 200 sites, there will surely be an exception where we want to disable Imsanity completely or at least greatly increase the image dimensions. I plan to create a very basic ‘Imsanity Override’ plugin that Network Admins can activate on sites where we don’t actually want Imsanity running. All it will do is remove the actions Imsanity adds. Again, I don’t expect your plugin to integrate this functionality, but I thought I’d let you know what I plan to do in case you think it makes sense to integrate that functionality in some way.

    Let me know what you think, and thanks for the great plugin! Cheers

  • As for the text – you mean basically the plugin instructional text that shows up on the individual site settings page? so you can tweak it or whatever?

    Yup, exactly. Maybe something like: $warning_text = “WARNING: BULK RESIZE WILL ALTER….”;

    $warning_text = apply_filters(‘imsanity_warning_text’, $warning_text);

    if ($warning_text) {
    echo “<div style=”/*red or whatever*/”>{$warning_text}</div>”;
    }

    Does that make sense? Is that reasonable? Thanks!

    Yea maybe I could just create a network setting that lets you override the individual site’s settings page text. That way you can put in whatever info you want for your own servers.

    Probably putting in some kind of blacklist for disabling certain sites wouldn’t be too tough.

    Oh yeah, a network setting for the message could totally work, too!

    Another option for blacklisting might be something like…

    On each site’s settings page:

    if (is_multisite() && current_user_can(‘manage_network’) && imsanity_network_admin_overriding_user_settings()) {
    ?>
    Yo Network Admin! Site Admins can’t see this form, but YOU can! Feel free to add your own settings here:
    <?php
    }

    Thanks again, and just let me know if you want any help testing new versions, etc.

    Me again. I saw you released a version since this, but it doesn’t look like it’s possible yet to adjust the Settings page text. Is this still on your to-do list by chance? (Wondering if I should wait or work on an awkward workaround.)

    thanks! And again, just let me know if you want help testing this functionality or feedback on the UI, etc. Cheers

    sorry i haven’t had a chance to tackle either of these due to illness, I’ve only done minor tweaks and bug fixes. if you have done any work on that plugin to disable imsanity per site I’d be happy to try to integrate it into the plugin itself.

    the text changes are proving to be more difficult due to the fact that it would kinda conflict with the internationalization of the plugin. There’s a chance though that you could put in your text changes by using a language PO file. That might be a pain to actually get working though.

    I hope you’re feeling better!

    My “solution” probably won’t help you much, but it seems to work for us anyway. I wrote a simple “imsanity-modifier’ plugin that I can network activate alongside Imsanity. It just removes your menu page, and adds its own incredibly similar one, with the same functionality, but our own messages.

    Cheers
