Featured Image Size Redux
One of my themes didn’t have a Genesis Featured Image.

Actually it did, but it didn’t have it as an named additional image. And this was a problem because I like to have the featured image size listed in my featured image box, as I explained how to do in my post about how to do this in Featured Image Size. That theme was using the ‘medium’ size for featured images, which meant by code made the box look like this:

This is because I had no $_wp_additional_image_sizes, and that’s what I meant when I said there was no named additional image size. So I had to change up my calculation and check first if the name of the image size was one of the defaults, ‘thumbnail’, ‘medium’, or ‘large’, and size off that and then check the other options.

Which gives me this:
```
// What is my image size?
add_filter( 'admin_post_thumbnail_html', 'helf_admin_post_thumbnail_html' );

function helf_admin_post_thumbnail_html( $content ) {
	// Define what the name of our featured image size is
	$genesis = get_option('genesis-settings');
	$genesis_image_size = $genesis['image_size'];

	// Get featured image size
	global $_wp_additional_image_sizes;

	if ( in_array( $genesis_image_size, array( 'thumbnail', 'medium', 'large' ) ) ) {
		$size_width = get_option( $genesis_image_size . '_size_w' );
		$size_height = get_option( $genesis_image_size . '_size_h' ); 
	} elseif ( isset( $_wp_additional_image_sizes[ $genesis_image_size ] ) ) {
		$size_width = $_wp_additional_image_sizes[$genesis_image_size]['width'];
		$size_height = $_wp_additional_image_sizes[$genesis_image_size]['height'];
	}

	$my_featured_image = $size_width.'x'.$size_height;

	// Apply
	$imagesize = '<p>Image Size: ' . $my_featured_image . 'px</p>';
	$content = $imagesize . $content;

	return $content;

}
```
Right below the global check, I do an if to scan the array and grab the sizes based on that. It’s exceptionally simple, and the major change was moving it to set variables and then setting based on those outside of the if/else check. But it works perfectly on both my sites with regular sizes and the fancy sizes.

I still don’t have a check to see if the theme is Genesis or not, but this multisite is 100% Genesis for all sites, so it’s not an issue for me. If anyone has a way to check “Is this active theme on this site Genesis or a child,” please share. The world will thank you.

Genesis Favicons Multistyle

For the longest time I used .htaccess to shunt my favicons to the right place based on the requesting domain. This basic logic worked well, but was starting to get weird and it didn’t always work depending on if I was using pagespeed to trim out leading domains or not, and of course when I tightened security it got weirder.

Now I’ve know you can use custom favicon in Genesis and that’s pretty simple. But … I have to make my life complicated. See I use Multisite and I don’t edit my themes. No, really, this theme? I only edited it to update it. I don’t edit them, I use custom CSS and functions to edit via hooks and filters, the way you’re supposed to.

So how do I override favicons for five sites on a Multisite? Why with an MU Plugin!

#2, shows a specific favicon, and does it for #3 and #4 before defaulting to the main site. I ‘hard code’ in the full URL to make sure I don’t mess it up and there isn’t any crazy cross site shenanigans. Obviously this will get a little long over time, and if I ever stop using Genesis for a site, I’ll instead hook into wp_head() and toss in the link for shortcut icon.

Customizing Author’s Comments on Genesis

I like Genesis, but I wanted to make some tweaks to how comments looked.

1) Bigger Avatar Size
2) ‘Mark’ post authors and site admins

This was pretty easy, since they have a filter in for comments, so all I had to do what tell it to replace their avatar size with mine, and then to use my callback. It’s in my callback that I did an extra check. If the commenter is an admin, they’re labled ‘Site Admin’ and if they’re the post author, it’s ‘Post Author.’

The end result looks like this (I’m commenting on a CSI episode where someone’s hiding in the walls):

The only hard part of the code was finding I can’t filter the comment callback, but I have to totally replace it with my own. Bummer, but not insurmountable. StudioPress has a nice document on comment filters which explained how I could override settings like avatar size and callback, which lead me to my next step, the filter:

// Customize Comments for avatar size and MY callback
add_filter('genesis_comment_list_args', 'mysite_comment_list_args');
    function mysite_comment_list_args($args) {
        $args['avatar_size'] = '90';
        $args['callback'] = 'mysite_comment_callback';
        return $args;
}

Once I have the filter, I have to create the mysite_comment_callback. This is something I basically copied from the source of my theme, taking the whole function for genesis_comment_callback and changing what I wanted.

/** replace comment callback with my own **/
function mysite_comment_callback( $comment, $args, $depth ) {

	$GLOBALS['comment'] = $comment; 
	global $post; 
	?>

	<li <?php comment_class(); ?> id="comment-<?php comment_ID(); ?>">

		<?php do_action( 'genesis_before_comment' ); ?>

		<div class="comment-header">
			<div class="comment-author vcard">
				<?php echo get_avatar( $comment, $size = $args&#91;'avatar_size'&#93; ); ?>
				<?php echo ( user_can( $comment->user_id, 'administrator' ) ) ? '<span class="mysite-title">Site Admin</span>' : (
						( $comment->user_id === $post->post_author ) ? '<span class="mysite-title">Post author</span>' : '' ) ; ?>
				
				<?php printf( '<cite><span class="fn">%1$s</span></cite> <span class="says">%2$s:</span>',
						get_comment_author_link(), 
						apply_filters( 'comment_author_says_text', __( 'says', 'genesis' ) ) ); ?>
		 	</div><!-- end .comment-author -->

			<div class="comment-meta commentmetadata">
				<a href="<?php echo esc_url( get_comment_link( $comment->comment_ID ) ); ?>"><?php printf( __( '%1$s at %2$s', 'genesis' ), get_comment_date(), get_comment_time() ); ?></a>
				<?php edit_comment_link( __( '(Edit)', 'genesis' ), '' ); ?>
			</div><!-- end .comment-meta -->
		</div>

		<div class="comment-content">
			<?php if ( $comment->comment_approved == '0' ) : ?>
				<p class="alert"><?php echo apply_filters( 'genesis_comment_awaiting_moderation', __( 'Your comment is awaiting moderation.', 'genesis' ) ); ?></p>
			<?php endif; ?>

			<?php comment_text(); ?>
		</div><!-- end .comment-content -->

		<div class="reply">
			<?php comment_reply_link( array_merge( $args, array( 'depth' => $depth, 'max_depth' => $args['max_depth'] ) ) ); ?>
		</div>

		<?php do_action( 'genesis_after_comment' );

	/** No ending </li> tag because of comment threading */

}

Finally it was a simple CSS to make it look snazzy.

.bypostauthor span.mysite-title {
	padding: 2px 5px;
	padding: 0.15rem 0.4rem;
	font-size: 11px;
	font-size: 0.785714286rem;
	line-height: 1;
	font-weight: normal;
	color: #7c7c7c;
	background-color: #FFFFCC;
	background-repeat: repeat-x;
	background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #ffc, #fc3);
	background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #ffc, #fc3);
	background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #ffc, #fc3);
	background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, #ffc, #fc3);
	background-image: linear-gradient(top, #ffc, #fc3);
	border: 1px solid #d2d2d2;
	border-radius: 3px;
	box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(64, 64, 64, 0.1);
	float: right;
}

I should point out that I have no experience with editing comments.
