Yet another update to Thumb-in-Post. In fact this one is not so much an update to the plug-in but to its config file. In updating the plugin to make it validate as XHTML, seem to have inadvertently created an ‘incompatibility between the plugin and the config file.

The new version can be downloaded here.

The change that needs to be made is extremely minor, so if you’d prefer not re-enter your settings into the config file, you can simply alter your existing config file as follows.

In the old config file there is a line which reads:

ThumbDivStart == <div class="thumb"

What you need to do is remove that last quotation mark, so that it looks like this:

ThumbDivStart == <div class="thumb

And you also need to do the same thing to the settings for PicDivStart and ObjectDivStart.

Apologies to all who have been inconvenienced by this, and thanks to Randy D. for pointing it out.

This is a minor update to the Thumb-in-post plug-in for WordPress. It’s a very minor update to the plug-in and corrects two small problems:

• The code now validates as XHTML. If you are getting problems with validation using the plug-in, check that the tag inserted into your post is on a line by itself, with a blank line above and below it. This will ensure that <p> elements are properly inserted into the text by WordPress.
• The plug-in now correctly applies class attributes to the <div> elements surrounding the image and caption.
• Fixed the bug that causes the ‘Picture’ quicktag button to incorrectly insert the wp:pic custom tag

Download it here.

If you are using v0.9 or v0.91, all you should have to do is install the .php file.

This is an update to my WordPress plugin which simplifies insertion of thumbnails, pictures, Flash and Quicktime movies and Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) into a blog post. [ more … ]

I’ve made a fairly major update to my WordPress Thumb-in-Post plugin. The earlier version of the plugin worked but had a number of nasty flaws (more on those and the fixes later). [ more … ]

I’ve been using WordPress to power the back-end of this site. It’s an excellent system for creating a dynamic website but insertion of images into articles can be a little bit tedious since you need to include all the code to display them in the body of your article. There are solutions to this small problem (most notably Exhibit) but they didn’t do exactly what I wanted and were probably overkill for my purposes anyway.

So, I wrote a simple plug-in to make the insertion of an image thumbnail with an associated caption into a WordPress post a little simpler. [ more … ]
