WordPress: Media Uploader for Meta Boxes

so i’ve been running into a nagging issue with wordpress’ new instance of its media uploader (released in v3.5)

if i had a meta box with an image uploader, it would conflict with the standard “Add Media” button for the editor

previous code

uploader.js

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
var form_field;
jQuery('.button-upload').click(function() {
form_field = '#' + jQuery(this).next('input').attr('id');
tb_show('', 'media-upload.php?type=image&TB_iframe=true');
return false;
});

window.send_to_editor = function(html) {
imgurl = jQuery('img',html).attr('src');
if(!imgurl){
imgurl = jQuery(html).attr('src');
}
if (jQuery(form_field).length > 0) {
jQuery(form_field).val(imgurl);
}
tb_remove();
}
});

I spotted the best doppelgänger

i’ve seen a few good doppelgängers in my day… but they’re always qualified with a “but” e.g. “that looks like ‘so and so,’ but fatter”

there’s a good one at ballast point — one of the chicks that works there looks like rashida jones

over the weekend, i spotted the doppelgänger to end all doppelgängers — he essentially was THREE people Read more »

“Responsive” Email

i guess it really shouldn’t be called “responsive” — it’s more “adaptive”. i mean, you can’t resize your browser or outlook window and expect it to update on the fly.

i’d like to say i’m pretty good at coding up html pages with css… and getting better and better at making sites responsive. well, only some of those skills are needed to code html emails

it’s a pain. a big one.

new condo: first weekend

next time i move, i’m hiring a moving company.

i’m so sore (or as greg would say, “soar”)… two flights of stairs, heavy boxes, big furniture, and probably the hottest weekend san diego’s had this summer. i can’t thank geoff, mexi-ray, josh, and even amanda for coming out to help — they definitely made the move much quicker and more efficient

i’m done though… for the most part. i’m sure i forgot some things back at my old place. speaking of the old place, one of the tough parts of moving out of there was going through every cabinet, every drawer, every closet and making sure i wasn’t taking their stuff… i think i took two of their ramekins, which i WILL give back… sheesh!

having boxes everywhere definitely makes me super anxious — i just want to tear into them and place everything in the right spot. but i also have to prioritize: bed, closet, kitchen, laundry, bathroom, etc…

Custom Metabox Per Template

so this came about when i was tasked to create a custom metabox for a wordpress site at work. i didn’t want the metabox to appear unless a specific template was chosen — this is so as not to confuse the person in the admin with new options they shouldn’t be messing with.

i found this solution, but it wasn’t quite working in my admin. so i put on my wordpress/php developer cap and dissected it down to the following:
