WordPress MU

1. I have found these lines inside wp-admin/includes/image.php:

function wp_shrink_dimensions( $width, $height, $wmax = 170, $hmax = 120 ) {
	return wp_constrain_dimensions( $width, $height, $wmax, $hmax );

2. I have also found these lines inside wp-includes/media.php:
` elseif ( $size == 'thumb' || $size == 'thumbnail' ) {
$max_width = intval(get_option('thumbnail_size_w'));
$max_height = intval(get_option('thumbnail_size_h'));
// last chance thumbnail size defaults
if ( !$max_width && !$max_height ) {
$max_width = 128;
$max_height = 96;
}
} `

Which one of those two files should I edit and what exactly do I need to do to change default thumbnail size?

3. Of course, I also want my thumbs to be cropped automatically so I'm wondering is it the right way to achieve that by changing 'false' values into 'true' values in this image.php line:

function wp_crop_image( $src_file, $src_x, $src_y, $src_w, $src_h, $dst_w, $dst_h, $src_abs = false, $dst_file = false ) {
	if ( is_numeric( $src_file ) ) // Handle int as attachment ID
		$src_file = get_attached_file( $src_file );

Anyone?

In the next release the thumbnails are bigger. :)

Thanks A.

I wrote wrong values in that first code. Those are values that I'm currently using. Default are 128 and 96. No one answered so I changed values in both files. Testing my luck.

Still don't know what is the right way to enable 'crop' by default.

For others.

So I changed values in both files and it's not working. At least not for me. Default thumb size for newly created blogs stays 128 x 96 px. That's all. Cheers.

Hmmm... maybe it will work if I edit file before I run WPMU installation. It doesn't sound logical to me but that's all can do now... no I'm not crying for help:)

...and you choose not to set the default values via the admin backend (get_option('thumbnail_size_w'))because...? You're trying to do something without using the thumbnail values set by the admin user?

I want the same thumb size for all blogs that are about to be created so admins don't have to do by themselves.

Ah, as I recall, the WPMu New Blog Options plugin allowed you to hardcode the settings for future blogs in the plugin's code...

Recently updated to 2.6 too!

Well thanks a lot... a looooooooot. I'll check that link.

Hi boonika,

It looks like the thumbnail settings are stored in the following wp_options:

thumbnail_size_w
thumbnail_size_h
thumbnail_crop

So, creating an mu-plugin with the following code in it should do the trick:

add_action('wpmu_new_blog', 'my_new_blogs_settings');

function my_new_blogs_settings($blog_id) {
    update_option('thumbnail_size_w', '150');
    update_option('thumbnail_size_h', '150');
    update_option('thumbnail_crop', '');
}

Change 150 to whatever you want. The thumbnail_crop option is either a 1 or empty, depending on whether you want to have the checkbox ticked (value = 1) or not (value = empty string).

The wpmu_new_blog action is executed whenever a new blog is created (after the default settings have been set).

Thanks James. I'll try that when I get some sleep.

Cheers

Nothing happened:(

This is how mu-plugin looks like looks:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Default Thumb Size
Plugin URI: http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=8974
Description: Sets deffault thumb size for new profiles.

*/

add_action('wpmu_new_blog', 'my_new_blogs_settings');

function my_new_blogs_settings($blog_id) {
    update_option('thumbnail_size_w', '170');
    update_option('thumbnail_size_h', '120');
    update_option('thumbnail_crop', '1');
}
?>

Try this, as per wp-admin/includes/schema.php:

<?php
/*

add_action('wpmu_new_blog', 'my_new_blogs_settings');

function my_new_blogs_settings($blog_id) {
    update_option('thumbnail_size_w', 170);
    update_option('thumbnail_size_h', 120);
    update_option('thumbnail_crop', 1);
}
?>

Hmmm... I didn't understand you quite well. And what is the difference between our codes? I can't detect it myself. Thanks in advance.

I stripped the single quotes from around the second update_option parameter...

update_option('thumbnail_size_w', 170);

So, 170 instead of '170' although the function definition for update_option shows both values as strings...

I went with the stock file that 'works' under my setup (paste from my core files)... although I completely agree with James' version which is codex-compliant.

Oooo... now I see:) I'll try it and let you know what happens. Thanks.

Nope:(

OK, problem solved... kind off. I've changed values inside
wp-admin/includes/schema.php

Musnake, thanks for pointing me to schema.php

I've edited wrong files previously. Still, I would prefer plugin solution.

Boonika, this will work as mu-plugin with WPMU2.6.

add_action('populate_options', 'my_new_blog_settings');
function my_new_blog_settings($blog_id) {
    add_option('thumbnail_size_w', 170);
    add_option('thumbnail_size_h', 120);
    add_option('thumbnail_crop', 1);
}

@dsader
I'll try that when I upgrade but I think I'll wait for 2.6.1.

Btw, you've helped me SO much in last few months and I already have a plan on how to return a favor. If I forget please do remind me. Cafespain and andrea_r also helped with some simple solutions. Also, thanks to all other members for their useful and un-useful replys... even to luna(sarcastic)byte:D

THANKS A LOT
