Thanks for looking Hax! ??

Hi Ben, did you ever work this out? I was trying to use this feature too and find it doesn’t seem to work…

Hi TheDoubtfulRebel,

I’ve had a go at implementing this, but it still seems to require the hacks in image-edit.php for the options to show up here… any idea how this could be achieved from functions.php?

many thanks

hey thanks TheDoubtfulRebel – that looks like a much better way of doing things than my hack – I’m needing to update shortly so will try this instead of the hack at that point.

It seems to me that hooks like hooks and filters aren’t really meant for this type of hack. I looked into overriding the function instead of having the hack in the core file and it seems that php won’t let me do this. I guess the alternative would be to somehow ask it to use, for example, my version of media.php instead of theirs – is this possible does anyone know?

Hi Mr. Brainz, thanks for your comment.

I’d certainly prefer to ‘extend’ these functions instead of hacking like this – I’ll look into hooks and see if I can do this here. MultiThumbnail looks fine, but it would mean that the user will have to upload duplicate images which may get confusing and this will further confuse the custom theme code for displaying the appropriate thumb in the correct location. My method may be messy but the end result is simpler for the user I think.
