I’m going to take you guys back to a time when I was doing some client work. I was at the time working on becoming a somebody in the WP Dev community. I attached myself to a really awesome designer George Wiscombe, and started working on a theme he designed called Handgloves. I began by widgetizing it (which was just starting to catch on — that probably dates me a little) then added a couple of built in social media hooks. I emailed him and told him I was working on it, and he released my changes, and because he is an AWESOME dude, gave me a byline on it.
We (Humankind) had a client that wanted a WordPress Multi-User (yep, before multi-site — dating myself yet again) installation for their interior design network, with an asset catalog that lived under the main root, but all the designers’ sites as sub-domains. We ran into a little problem, Handgloves used TimThumb, and TimThumb’s wordpress implementation at the time had a small problem. It was hard-coded to use only the local uploads folder by prepending the website URL to the uploads directory, then appending the image name.
I decided to do a quick fix for this, and post it up on my old personal blog.
