What is GDML-Mapping?

    I am trying to user your plugin with my image slider plugin (literally my slider – ATW Show Posts).

    Instead of the Google address, the address used is https://GDML-Mapping/example.jpg

    The code that ends up with this address is using the attachment ID as provided in a [gallery ids='1,2,3'], for example. (using get_posts() to fetch the array of post_type of atttachement.

    So apparently the actual address mapping is taking place too late for the plugin?

    There aren’t the usual thumbnail, medium, large, and full image sizes available.

    Is it safe to check for GDML-Mapping and if detected, use image_downsize() instead?

  • Hi wpweaver,

    It was actually designed to be used for wordpress media library.

    The link for uploaded image will be “https://googledrive.com/host/your google drive image/your image.jpg”
    ex: https://googledrive.com/host/0BygJEWD4OfYNaXRvZVdBQ0FjOXc/test.jpg

    I don’t really get the idea what you tried to do.

    Attempting to get low-level access to a post’s attachments will result in a return address of https://GDML-Mapping/example.jpg, which is not real.

    So, I’m guessing that your plugin stores the image’s address in the Media Library as GDML-Mapping, and not the actual URL. But at some level of the WP API, your plugin will replace the GDML-mapping with the real address. It just doesn’t do that at the lowest level.

    I worked around this by searching for GDML-mapping in an image address as provided by low-level WP API calls, and then simply replacing that with the real URL obtained using a different API.

    It is necessary for my plguin to use a low-level system call.
