Shopp loading incorrect WordPress installation

When trying to use their TinyMCE button, the resulting window displays a different WordPress installation (normally the login window). This was quite annoying since I didn’t have all of my category and product IDs committed to memory.

This bug is caused by the way Shopp is including content into shopp/core/ui/behaviors/tinymce/dialog.php, specifically with the function find_filepath. Shopp is searching your entire document root for a core WordPress file, wp-load.php. Once it finds this file it is loaded into the window that is displayed for you. The problem presents itself because Shopp doesn’t check to see if it’s the correct WordPress installation that wp-load.php came from.

Quick Fix

Open up the file shopp/core/ui/behaviours/tinymce/dialog.php and comment out lines 2-27. Then add the following snippet:

$includefile = str_replace('/wp-content/plugins/shopp/core/ui/behaviors/tinymce/dialog.php','',$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) . '/wp-load.php';
require_once($includefile);

It’s possible this will break other things, so don’t do this on a production installation. Let me know if this works for you in the comments.

Wow, we’ve been busy recently. Despite our hectic schedule, we were able to push Justin Fee’s new insurance website live.

The site is built on WordPress with a handful of plugins. BinaryM created a new logo for Justin and designed the site around that.

I don’t have time to write much about it, so go ahead and check it out.

A couple of months ago we were connected with Tommy Hough, an on air personality for FM 949 in San Diego, to help him with his personal passion and side-project Treehuggers International.

Treehuggers came to BinaryM with an existing WordPress.org install, but needed a new theme designed and coded along with a usable format to archive, play and download the shows podcasts. After some time in our labs, we are proud to announce the launch of TreehuggersIntl.com.

Some cool sections to check out:

Show Episodes and Show Archive – Two sections of the site synchronized with the Blurbrry PowerPress plugin to allow for a single upload to display in separate sections.
Also in the Show Archive, we took the Custom Field Template plugin out for a spin to organize each of the shows guests and tags.

Just received an email from Blan Cox over at Mills Communications:

Matt,

Did I ever tell you how awesome our website is? You are the most amazing website developer on the planet. I have never liked the Mills website as much as I do right now.

You are the bomb.

Blan

I like you too Blan and your project was fun.
