• I’ve been looking for a good solution to start migrating all of our static media content into Amazon S3, and this looks like a pretty way to go, with a bit of customization. I went a bit fast and dirty, but ended up changing the following four elements:

    – I installed the .php file into the wp-content/mu-plugins/ folder instead of the normal plugins folder.
    – In the admin_init function, I needed to set values for all blogs so that I didn’t have to go through them one-by-one. So, where all nine settings are registered there, I just dropped nine update_option lines with my key, secret, bucket, etc. This gives all WPMU sites the same default settings.
    – In the upload_dir function I need to insert a blog_id subfolder to the baseurl, so that blogs keep their media separated into dirs by blog_id. So I call “global $current_blog” at the top, and then in the two $data[‘baseurl’] lines simply inserted $current_blog->blog_id and slashes appropriately.
    – Finally, since config settings were taken care of, I commented out the heart of the admin_menu function, i.e. the add_options_page call.

    I have this on a test WP network and it’s really working perfectly. I have some more testing to do, specifically what happens if I add this to a network with over 200 sites already existing — my hope is that this will reroute ALL media uploads into S3, but not interfere with existing media until I can upload them into S3 and update all the links. What do you think?

    I also wonder if there are media types that won’t work with this plugin? Any limitations there, as to filetype?

    Am I missing anything here?

  • hey,

    I m trying to follow the steps you describe here but I got stck at some point

    When I upload a file when the plugin in configured as you advice , nothing happens and it shows me an non existing image

    Nothing on amazon and no image in wordpress, but no error either

    Can you show or send me the modified file so that I can visualise more easily what it supposed to look like.

    THanks
