I am struggling to work out how to check if a second image is available and to replace the featured image if it is.
I tried this method, but think something in the code is unique to the Genesis framework:
https://wpsites.net/genesis-tutorials/how-to-add-a-2nd-meta-box-for-a-different-featured-image/
I know I need to check for the post ID, but am not sure how: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/post_thumbnail_id/
I'm just getting into this, so any advice would be very well received.
Thanks,

I'm trying to get a JSON result with a set of random pages from Wikipedia, including their titles, content and images.
I've played around with their API sandbox, and so far the best I've got is this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=random&format=json&rnnamespace=0&rnlimit=10
But this only includes the namespace, id, and title of ten random pages. I would like to get the content as well as images as well.
Do anyone know how?
Alternatively I could do with the title, content and image url's of a single random page.
Best I've got here is:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&generator=random&format=json
You're close. generator=random is the right way to go. You can then use various prop values to get the info you want:
Page title is always included.
To get the text, use prop=revisons along with rvprop=content.
To get all images used on the page, use prop=images.
Note that this will often include images you're probably not interested in, like icons and flags. To fix that, you might try instead prop=pageimages, though it doesn't seem to work always. Or you could try using both.
So, the final query could look like this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=json&action=query&generator=random&grnnamespace=0&prop=revisions|images&rvprop=content&grnlimit=10
If you'd rather use their REST api,
curl -X GET "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/random/summary"

I've been working with a friend and we both have a problem, in a Garry's Mod Server, ok so we have a box saying Rules, and when we go to place a website INSIDE OF THAT BOX, it shows exactly this:
http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/37489242708029141/B4E51CC2F089F13DF25AA8F4F3E9BF7A07619427/
As you can see, it shows a box with the HTML5 coding, not sure if I can place:
http://www.sparkperp.com/Rules/index.html on that box.
I would like to know how to do that, if it's possible.
Thanks for your help
Please give your code in the future. Since I'm unable to view your code I'm limited in how much I can help, but I will try my best anyway!
You need to use the HTML vgui element vgui.Create("HTML") and use :OpenURL(weblink) on it. You can also use :SetHTML(htmlstring) if required. You should get the idea from the below code block:
local MOTD = vgui.Create( "HTML", parent )
MOTD:OpenURL("http://www.sparkperp.com/Rules/index.html")
If you can't get it working, update your question with your code and I'll be able to help further.
I'm using Shopp on a Worpress site, and would like to pass two slugs in one shortcode instead of two shortcodes.
Right now, this is how it's displayed:
[catalog-collection slug="holiday-gift-cards"]
[catalog-collection slug="holiday-platters"]
Is there a way to get both of those into one shortcode? I'd like to display them that way so they come in after one another instead of breaking into a different row on top of each other.
I can't find any syntax online of how to do it, so if anyone knows how, any help is appreciated! Thanks.
Since the comment turned out to be an answer, I'll repost here for future reference in case others might have the same question:
If you're going to use Shortcodes for this, the Shopp Shortcode Documentation has a slug called 'tag'. If you apply a tag name of 'holiday' to all of the products you want to combine, you can have a shortcode of just [catalog-collection slug="tag" tag="holiday"]
I have a website in which I have many categories, many sub-categories within each one and many products within each of those. Since the URLs are very user-unfriendly (they contain a GUID!!!), I would like to use a method which I think is called URL Masking. For example instead of going to catalogue.aspx?ItemID=12343435323434243534, they would go to notpads.htm. This would display the same as going to catalogue.aspx?ItemID=12343435323434243534 would display, somehow.
I know I could do this by creating a file for each category / sub-category (individual products cannot be accessed individually as it is a wholesale site - customers cannot purchase directly from the site). This would be a lot of work as the server would have to update each relevant file whenever a category / sub-category / product visibility changes, or a description changes, a name changes... you get the idea...
I have tried using server-side includes but that doesn't like it when a .aspx file is specified in an html file.
I have also tried using an iframe set to 100% width / height and absolutely positioned left 0 and top 0. This works quite well, but I know there are reasons you should not use this method such as some search engines not coping with it well. I also notice that the title of the "parent" page (notepads.htm) is not the title set in the iframe (logically this is correct - but another issue I need to solve if I go ahead and use this method).
Can anyone suggest another way I could do this, or tell me whether I am going along the right lines by using iframes? Thanks.
Regards,
Richard
PS If this is the wrong name for what I am trying to do then please let me know what it actually is so I can rename / retag it.
Look into URL Rewrites. You can create a regular expression and map it to your true url. For example
http://mysite.com?product=banana
could map to
http://mysite.com?guid=lakjdsflkajkfj3lj3l4923892&asfd=9234983920894893
I believe you mean URL Rewriting.
IIS 7+ has a rewrite module built in that you can use for this kind of thing.
URL Rewriters solve the problem you are describing - When someone requests page A, display page B - in a general way.
But yours is not a general requirement. You seem to have a finite uuid-to-shortname mapping requirement. This is the kind of thing you could or should set up in your app, yourself, rather than inserting a new piece of machinery into your system.
Within a default .aspx page, You'd simply do a lookup on the shortname from the url in a persistent table stored somewhere, and then call Server.Transfer() to the uuid-named page associated to that shortname.
It should be easy to prototype this.
I have a couple of twitter-powered news aggregation website. I have been planning to add images from articles that I find on twitter.
If I download the page and extract image using <img> tag, I get a bunch of images; not all of them relevant to the article. For example, images of button, icons, ads etc are captured. How do I extract the image accompanying the article? I know there is a solution -- Facebook link sharer does this pretty well.

Duplicate of : How to find and extract "main" image in website
Download all images from the page,
blacklist all images coming from an ad server.
then find some heuristic which will get you the correct image...
I think something like:
Biggest resolution += 5pts
Biggest filesize += 10 pts
Jpeg += 2 pts
then take the image with the most points and throw the rest away
Probably works for majority of sites.
(Would require some fiddling with the heuristics though)
It's been a long time. But this may help next time.
You can use this API https://urlmeta.org/
It's very simple to use and result is the best we need.
example for using API:
<?php
$url = "http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/Raghuram-Rajan-not-fit-to-be-RBI-Governor-Subramanian-Swamy/articleshow/52236298.cms";
$result = file_get_contents('https://api.urlmeta.org/?url='.$url);
$array = json_decode($result,1);
print_r($array['meta']['image']);
?>
And that's the result you needed.
I kind of came-up with a solution that is a bit hacky but works for me. Here is what I do to get thumbnails.
Say the headline of the page I find is "this is a headline"
I use this as a query to the Google Image API and then extract the first thumbnail I find.
It actually works quite well for a majority of the cases. Check it out for yourself http://cricketfresh.in

ps: I think this is a good answer. Will give credit to someone who comes with a more elegant answer.
I would guess that Facebook has a link extractor for the various sites it supports. Something like id="content" -> img (1st).
Guess I am wrong. Seems that Facebook uses the Open Graph Protocol to define which image (og:image) and which metadata to use.
