Plugin: image-formatr (Used by 6 domains)

Image Formatr is a simple plugin that goes through all the content images on
posts & pages, and with zero user changes:

1. gives them a standardized thumbnail format using CSS
2. puts a caption underneath each one using the title
3. makes them linked so they popup in full size

Thumbnails are not generated, but will be used if available in the media library.
This plugin is driven by the prettyPhoto
library so we could call this plugin a prettyPhoto integration plugin.

*Note: Supports images on Flickr.

Usage

This only applies to the images you put in your content, not theme graphics.

After the plugin runs, the output to the browser looks like:

  
    
  
  

    A sample caption
  

Documentation

Features

• Standardizes all thumbnails without altering posts
• Supports displaying images from Flickr: title=”The magnificent Ceiba at the Archaeological Site of Palenque.”>
• Generates image captions using the image title or alt
• Integrates WordPress media library thumbnails
• Gives popups for WordPress gallery images (adjust priority setting to 12)
• Shows all content images on the blog as small thumbnails
  (does not create new thumbnails but can use Media Library for thumbs)
• Allows for fine-grained control of each image’s format
• Zooms image to large size when clicked using the
  prettyPhoto
  library
• Outputs standard XHTML compliant markup

Gallery Support

To get WordPress Gallery images to popup, this plugin must run at a priority
greater (later) than the [gallery] shortcode which runs at priority 11. Therefore
set the priority setting to 12 in the Administration Options.

Overrides

The actions of the plugin are enabled and disabled with administration settings
but can be overridden on each individual image.

• usemysize – true/false – true = do not ignore an image width and height
• usemya – true/false – true = do not ignore a parent anchor tag
• nocap – true/false – true = do not create a caption
• nofx – true/false – true = no popup effect
• link – string url – make the caption a link to the url
• hint – string txt – this will be the new image title
• asis – true/false – true = don’t change nuthin
• group – string txt – separate popup slideshows
• thumb – string url – image thumbnail (version 0.9.7)
• page – single/!single/front/!front – page filtering (version 0.9.7)

If you want to surround an image with an anchor tag , then you should add
a usemya attribute within the image tag or else your anchor will be ignored
and replaced. If you do not want the popup effect at all, add a nofx attribute
to the image. If you do not want any caption, you can specify nocap, or just
leave the title blank. And to have the plugin completely ignore an image and
output the content directly from the post, use the asis attribute.

Note: concerning the true/false overrides, do not include “false” parameters
like , i.e these overrides should only include the attributes
for which you want to designate a “true” value.
