Smarter handling of WordPress plugin uploads
While preparing my previous post on new features in WordPress 2.9, I ran across a ticket in Trac for something I’d been wanting to do for a while: specify a subfolder of the uploads directory for specific plugins, like my Blog Icons plugin, to upload their files to. This way, the blog icons plugin would upload its files to /uploads/blog-icons/, which is a lot better for everyone.
Aaron Campbell and Denis de Bernardy, both well respected WordPress developers come to a surprisingly simple way of doing that without core needing any patching. To use it, you only have to change the prefix of the function and the sub dir to use:
add_filter('upload_dir', 'my_upload_dir'); $upload = wp_upload_dir(); remove_filter('upload_dir', 'my_upload_dir'); funcion my_upload_dir($upload) { $upload['subdir'] = '/sub-dir-to-use' . $upload['subdir']; $upload['path'] = $upload['basedir'] . $upload['subdir']; $upload['url'] = $upload['baseurl'] . $upload['subdir']; return $upload; }
