Dear Pete,

I use your plugin on my website and it works great.
Since I’m using livewriter to post my blogs, I modified the plugin so that the thumbnail in de “content” teaser are linked to the post.
But now off course, all the images in my post linked to the post.
Not a big problem, but maybe there is an easy way to modify the plugin, that just the first picture of the post would be linked ?

Because I’m a php dummy, can you help me?

Best regards,

Non

Sorry, from my perspective, it would be wrong for the plug-in to alter the mark-up that comes directly from the content of posts authored in WordPress – they may well (should) already have detailed ALT properties etc. set…

Hi Pete,

i know that it got nothing to do with the plugin. I just want to expand your plugin so that i dont have to put the ALT in the tag by myself. I looked your code and saw that you creat the title like that:

title= . $post->post_title . so i thought i could put something like alt= . $post->post_title . into the code. But that causes even more errors

the thing is that i want the alt tag created automatic from post just like you did for the title.

the plugin works totally fine, i only want to put the alt automatic in the code.

cheers

Denis, I don’t think you understand, you don’t need (it isn’t allowed or part of the standard) an ALT in the mark-up, it goes in the markup – which is wrong in your post! This is nothing to do with the plug-in…

Hi Pete,

thanks for your quick answer !

Is it possible to put an ALT=”" into you plugin that contains the the the same as TITLE=”" ? that would be great.

I tried it that way, but it doesnt work.

Cheers

Denis, thanks! It is a simple but very useful plug-in huh!

Anyway, regards your problem -
The plug-in simply wraps mark-up found in the excerpt in a hyper-link (i.e. ) so any issues with ALT properties, which are part of the , must already be there. Deactivate the plug-in and you’ll see it is still invalid. That is, this is not a problem with the plug-in. Take at look at your post, you need to add ALT=’…’ to your mark-up.

Good luck!

I use the Flexible Upload plug-in to automatically scale images and create thumbnails. Then remember to include the in the Optional Excerpt.
