shell_exec makes changes in file system (does not scale)

  • [Updated] Looks promising (can’t imagine that this feature is not in the core). Had initially some rough edges that were fixed fast by the author.

    shell_exec and changing files in the filesystem should be avoided in any case – it does not scale 12 factor app [I understand this is required for config purpose, but try to solve by env vars]

    It throws notices: [maybe theme related]

    PHP Notice:  Undefined variable: show_image in /app/wp-content/plugins/featured-image-from-url/admin/html/meta-box.html on line 13
PHP Notice:  Undefined variable: show_alt in /app/wp-content/plugins/featured-image-from-url/admin/html/meta-box.html on line 10
PHP Notice:  Undefined variable: show_link in /app/wp-content/plugins/featured-image-from-url/admin/html/meta-box.html on line 23

    <strike>Up-selling video box in the editor shouldn’t be enabled by default.</strike> [fixed]

    Thanks for the fast response. I have not checked the latest version – I’ve decided to use another solution. Thanks anyway. I’ve updated me review because of the super fast response from the author providing fixes on some of the issues.

    Lars,

    1) About the shell_exec, it’s no executed automatically. You need to enable that. There is an advice above the “WooCommerce Full Integration” toggle. So, the people know that some changes in WooCoomerce plugin will be done/undone. And they are the same users that asked me to do these changes. If you saw the Support Threads you would know that the they asked me to do the integration;

    2) If you have problems with the plugin, you just need open a Support Thread and you will be attended. It’s simple as that. You can see that I don’t have open issues;

    3) About these “PHP Notices“, you are the first person to report that in six months. So, I’m sure that it’s been caused by an external factor. I ask you to send me your theme by email, please. I will analyse your code and the compatibility;

    4) About the both meta boxes, they can be hidden in version 1.2.4, that I will release in a few minutes.

    So, please review your rate. Thanks.

    Lars,

    The version 1.2.4 was released: now the meta boxes can be hidden.

    I’m still waiting your theme to verify your problem.

    Lars,

    That “PHP Notices” aren’t shown in log file anymore. It was fixed in version 1.2.5 that I’ve released few minutes ago.
