Tweak wordpress theme back-end management of Portfolio items

Hi, I have a theme that let's me add a 'portofolio' of works. I use a set of images that I upload through the admin panel for 'edit portfolio'. Each image I upload corresponds to a different 'project/work' in that portfolio. You can name each item in the portfolio within the same back-end form I want to add the image filename, when I upload the image, to be the TITLE of the portfolio item. Portfolio Demo 1. You can visit the site and go to dashboard -> portfolios -> add new portfolio 2. Here you can add 'works' which are the images 3. I'd like the 'title' of the work to be read from the image filename, add into the field in the metabox the filename as the title. Login to site and ftp details in attached images :) -> Here you can see the code. Let me know if you can FTP into the site. Files you need to look @ - wp-content/themes/bazar/core/yit/[login to view URL] Handles the custom post type - wp-content/themes/bazar/core/lib/yit/Portfolio_type/Portfolio_type Code for managing the portfolio for the theme You will notice in [login to view URL] this function: /** * Update images via AJAX * * @since 1.0.0 */ public function update_items() { $post_id = isset( $_POST['post_id'] ) ? $_POST['post_id'] : false; // update items in the post $items = $this->get_setting( 'items', $post_id ); $uploaded_items = $this->_getImages($post_id); foreach ( $uploaded_items as $item_id => $args ) { if ( isset( $items[$item_id] ) ) $items[$item_id] = wp_parse_args( $args, $items[$item_id] ); else $items[$item_id] = $args; $items[$item_id]['title'] = "TEST"; } $this->update_setting( 'items', $items, $post_id ); echo json_encode( array_keys( $uploaded_items ) ); foreach ( $items as $item => $value ) { echo $key . 'has the value' . $value; } die(); } This is where the images are uploaded in the back-end to the portfolio. $items[$item_id]['title'] = "TEST"; This line works. I can see in the debugger that the title element is being changed (and I could then replace this with the filename of the image). $this->update_setting( 'items', $items, $post_id ); This line should update the 'items' data in the post_id to the new $items array (with the newly set title variable). But somewhere this is overwritten, and when we return to the page, the portfolio items have no titles. I believe it is in the metabox for the post_type_unlimited. Please let me know if you can take a look and let me know the fix & cost. Am sure it's a call to update_post_meta somewhere, for each title in the array of portfolio items NOTE: Please let me know if you can FTP into the site before we start discussion. Thanks.
