@wnorris: While pursuing some thoughts about mapping blogroll entries to wordpress users, discovered that wordpress (at least in 2.3) has some functions for adding new meta data to users (update_usermeta, get_usermeta, delete_usermeta) and wondered if those might be used to store the actual openid URI for a user who has signed up via OpenID. Also worth a look: cimy-extra-fields.

Now to figure out how to mix, xfn, hcard, and an openid url into one block of semantic html ??

That’s not a bad idea. I’ll have to experiment a bit with it, esp since there is both a description field and notes field, re-using one should not step on too many toes.

No, in the source code. I’ve got somme ideas for extending WordPress’ trackback support, but in order to do that I need to understand how it all works, and I’m having some trouble tracing it all.

I’ve found the pingback support, but cannot find where/if WordPress does trackbacks for links in the body of the post, which is the behavior I could swear I’ve seen before.

Maybe I should have included “can someone please ‘splain me where WordPress does this automagical trackbacking?”

abhi,
I did discover that eventually, but in 90% of the situations where I’m uploading images (as opposed to FTPing them as in the case of site graphics) it’s because I want to link to them from a blog post, and in 89% of those cases I want to link the thumbnail. I think I’m not alone.
The patch here does not remove the original HTML code, it’s only adds another version to the returned code.

Hi all!
I’ve posted a proper diff.
upload_additions.diff found here.
Use at your own risk.

mumeimagpie,
Would you mind sending me your upload.php?

Yeah at first I thought the thumbnailing wasn’t working either, because it did not put any code in to display the thumbnail. Hence this hack. Glad you like it.

Ok, I’ve added the explanatory text to the output, you can find the code at the same place.

Good idea about the wording on the returned code. As for adding the code to a new post, I know that MT does this, and it’s something I’d be interested in as well, but for the moment it’s beyond my knowledge of WP to add it.
If anyone want’s to suggest a way to do it, I’d be interested.

I agree with Rayne – if I ask for a thumbnail I’d expect the display HTML code to include code to display the thumbnail and a link to the full image.
