A brand new WYSIWYG editor in WordPress for iOS app

February 24, 2015 by Jack Zimmermann Leave a Comment

So they added a new WYSIWYG editor in WordPress own app for iOS. And to my Initial amazement it looks like it handles images the correct way by first uploading them, and then gives you the different automatically created sizes done by the server. Maybe I’m finally able to upload images and have Retina support without having to use my Editorial workflow? But when looking at the generated HTML, the height and width of the images is set to zero. It points the URL to the full resolution image, even if you select a smaller one. Not good. If you save a draft, it forgets your image settings like alignment and title.

GMT Time Showing in iPhone iPad Calendar App

February 4, 2015 by Jack Zimmermann 5 Comments

iOS Calendar App IconI helped my boss today with a weird problem. In his calendars on his iOS devices, an extra line would show up, displaying the GMT time of the event. The event was placed correctly in the timeline, but it included the GMT time in the text. Naturally I did the obligatory Google search and found a lot of other users with the same problem, but not any solutions on how to fix it.

After checking all the settings on Google Calendar and checked the time and calendar settings, I couldn’t find anything wrong. But after checking out his iPad settings, I realized that the old IT guy had missed a thing.

Editorial App Workflow Upload Image to WordPress Media Library Version 2.2

January 31, 2015 by Jack Zimmermann 2 Comments

Editorial iOS app iconDownload on the AppStoreI’ve tried a lot of blogging apps for the iPad, but none of them handles images the way I want. Images gets the weird name iOS has assigned to them which is not good for SEO. When I upload images to WordPress, I want them to end up in the WordPress Media Library and have all the theme defined sizes created automatically. Just like when you upload from the web interface in WordPress. There’s an added problem when you want your site to support images displayed on a Retina or high DPI device, showing the picture in high resolution using a plugin like WP Retina x2. My favourite text editor on iOS is Editorial app, So I made this Workflow so I can do the naming, resizing and uploading of the images directly inside the app from my iPad or iPhone 6 Plus. You can select which of the theme defined image sizes you want to display and also set the image alignment. This workflow works excellent with the WP Retina x2 plugin, which is the one I use on my site. When everything is done, you have an MultiMarkdown referred image link at the cursor position in the text editor, and the image link and information like width, height and alt-text is added to the end of the document. This makes a very convenient way of blogging on the iPad.

WiFi Map uses community power to share network passwords

January 28, 2015 by Jack Zimmermann Leave a Comment

“WiFi Map uses community power to share network passwords”

George Tinari, The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW):

WiFi Map is a crowdsourced tool for finding all of the Wi-Fi hotspots in your area as well as the passwords to certain security-protected networks.

This looks like a great utility when trying to find a free WiFi hotspot. I’m going to give it a go on my iPhone next time I’m out and about in the city. I hate the 1Gb cap I have on my phone by network provider Tele2.

Let’s just hope that Apple doesn’t ban the app. I’ve seen it before…

Editorial App WordPress Upload images Workflow updated

January 13, 2015 by Jack Zimmermann

I have being going through the code for the Editorial App Workflow for uploading images directly to WordPress Media Library and added some functions. There where several bugs and problems. Should work better now. 

โ€” Bug where scaling didn’t work at all (shame!)

โ€” Added full resolution image as alternative

โ€” should work now for blogs that doesn’t automatically make scaled versions of uploaded images, only presented with the option to use full resolution.
