Additional WP Constants

[gin0115]

Would it be possible to add the following constants to the bootstrap file? i know the paths are present, but URLs are useful for enqueued scripts etc

• WP_CONTENT_URL
• WP_PLUGIN_URL
• WPMU_PLUGIN_URL

Many thanks

Hello Glynn 👋🏻

Do these constants have a core function?

[gin0115]

yeah they are defined by wp_plugin_directory_constants()

https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_plugin_directory_constants/

[szepeviktor]

I mean to read them.

[szepeviktor]

I'd like to end up at this question: Are they supposed to be used my plugins?

[szepeviktor]

... and at this answer: I know there are use-cases when you have to use them,
but you could add them to your own bootstrap file.

[gin0115]

We use them in our code (themes and plugins) and our attempts at as PHPStan see these being flagged as not found.

I appreciate we could add them to our bootstrap, but we wasn't sure if this is something that should be included with the other core constants on the included bootstrap 🤷🏼

URLs are useful for enqueued scripts

Could you share one line of code?

[gin0115]

Here is one example (not as an enqueue, i cant remember what project thats in ) where we allow a user to put images in the root of the uploads dir, then get all the files as paths and covert them into urls
$img_src = \str_replace( WP_CONTENT_DIR, WP_CONTENT_URL, $logo_path );

[szepeviktor]

I see.
If I would add those constants I would encourage users not to use the Media Library to manage images.
Sorry.

BTW That line is dangerous. One is a filesystem path, the other is a URL.
\ vs. %4C big 💣
