Can anyone answer this question?

Has anyone else had a problem with a protected subdirectory suddenly throwing Page Not Found errors after you installed Pretty Link Lite?

Hi, Cathryn. I never learned anything more than what you see in this thread.

Your question is a bit different than mine, so you should definitely start your own thread, if you haven’t already. With the way the storage landscape is changing, I think your request makes complete sense and would be a very powerful addition to WP.

Back to my original question: I never did get any response from the technologically-savvy out there (and I know you’re out there!) about the main barrier for moving a file from one cloud datastore (ie Google Drive) to another cloud datastore (ie WP Media Library).

Is the main technology barrier just that WP doesn’t know how to log in to my Google Drive account on my behalf? Or is there something deeper and trickier at work that makes moving a file from one cloud datastore to another cloud datastore hard to do? I’d love to understand this better.

Here it is again, with a slight tweak to improve readability of the result, and with a sample SQL statement in place.

<pre>
<?php
require_once('wp-load.php');
print_r($wpdb->get_results(
"SELECT $wpdb->posts.post_title, $wpdb->posts.ID,
        $wpdb->posts.post_date
   FROM $wpdb->posts
   WHERE $wpdb->posts.post_type = 'post'
     AND $wpdb->posts.post_status = 'publish'
   ORDER BY $wpdb->posts.post_date DESC"
));
?>
</pre>

I continue to research this question, and I’m becoming convinced that Kulwant is correct — can’t be done (today).

To re-iterate: I want to walk up to any computer anywhere in the world; log in to my WordPress site; go to my Media Library; and upload a file that’s in my Google Drive “My Drive” folder.

Does anybody have any idea if that capability exists anywhere?

If it doesn’t, then let me ask this:

Is the barrier simply the fact that WordPress would have to somehow log in to my Google Drive account to get access? Or are there deeper and more tangled technical issues in moving a file from one cloud server directly to another?

Curious minds like to understand these things…. Any insights you could offer would be most appreciated.

I hacked autohyperlink-urls.php as follows, and that seems to have fixed it. (The example of it not working, above, no longer shows it not working, because I fixed it.)

public function do_hyperlink_url( $matches ) {
		$options = $this->get_options();

		/* If the URL ends in a period, that's a mistake, so drop the trailing period. */
		$cbd_drop_trailing_period = $matches[2];
		if ( substr($cbd_drop_trailing_period,-1,1) == '.' )
			$cbd_drop_trailing_period = substr($cbd_drop_trailing_period,0,-1) ;

		$link_text = $options['strip_protocol'] ? $matches[4] : $matches[2];

		/* Use the URL that's had any trailing period stripped */
		return $matches[1] . '<a href="' . esc_attr( $cbd_drop_trailing_period ) . '" ' . $this->get_link_attributes( $matches[2] ) .'>' . $this->truncate_link( $link_text ) . '</a>';
	}

	public function do_hyperlink_url_no_proto( $matches ) {

		/* If the URL ends in a period, that's a mistake, so drop the trailing period. */
		$cbd_drop_trailing_period = $matches[2] . '.' . $matches[3] . $matches[4] ;
		if ( substr($cbd_drop_trailing_period,-1,1) == '.' )
			$cbd_drop_trailing_period = substr($cbd_drop_trailing_period,0,-1) ;

		$dest = $matches[2] . '.' . $matches[3] . $matches[4];
		return $matches[1] . '<a href="http://' . esc_attr( $cbd_drop_trailing_period ) . '" ' . $this->get_link_attributes( "http://$dest" ) .'>' . $this->truncate_link( $dest ) . '</a>';
	}

Darn! I guess I shouldn’t have enclosed the subject in backticks in the earlier message. The subject looks like this:

Let’s see if that shows up right…

Sorry … the second example should say “Can it see the Categories of the post/page?”
