WP Post Thumbnail

WP Post Thumbnail for WordPress is currently in 0.2 Beta 2.

Here’s a brief rundown of what WP Post Thumbnail plugin does:

    for Bloggers …

  • Crop images in your media library to pixel-perfection
    WP Post Thumbnail enables you to manually crop images (jpg, png, gif) in your media library. The plugin adds an image cropping panel in “Add New/Edit Post” screen.

    All you need to do is upload images to your media library in the post you’re writing. Choose one of those images to crop. Once you’re done cropping, click the “Save Thumbnail” button. That’s it.

    WP Post Thumbnail plugin has options that allows you to configure it to work with any WordPress themes that uses custom fields to put single or multiple thumbnails in post.


  • 3 thumbnail presets for each post
    WP Post Thumbnail plugin has options for you to easily configure thumbnails to suit different WordPress themes.The plugin comes with 3 presets. For each preset, bloggers can change width, height and assign which custom key it points to.

    Lets say you are using a theme that calls custom key “wppt-standard” to put thumbnails in posts. Simply enter “wppt-standard” in the custom key field and click “Assign” button. Adjust the width and height of the thumbnail according to your theme’s specification.

  • Choose default thumbnail
    For themes that do not use custom keys for post thumbnail (such as Kubrick’s default WordPress theme), you can choose one thumbnail preset out of the three and set it as default.

    If preset1 is set as default, the plugin will insert all preset1 thumbnails into their respective posts.

  • Uses WordPress’s media library
    Unlike the old version 0.1.8, you now have to upload your original images (jpg, png or gif) to the media library. Choose the uploaded images from WP Post Thumbnail panel and crop.

    By retaining the original source images, you can always come back to the source to recrop. Or simply let the plugin do it for you. Which brings us to the next feature.

  • Auto recrop & resize
    As mentioned above, WP Post Thumbnail 0.2 has an options page to modify width and height of 3 preset thumbnails. Each time you set a new width and height for a preset, the plugin automatically recrop/resize existing thumbnails to the new dimension. Thumbnails automatically shrink or grow around your crop’s area of focus while preserving aspect ratios and proportions.

    It might not be apparent how this feature will help you now. But imagine you’ve been using Theme-A for a year. Theme-A uses 200px by 150px thumbnail for post entries. You have blogged hundreds of posts and created hundreds of 200px by 150px thumbnails.

    What if you decide to switch to a new theme, Theme-B, that uses 250px by 100px thumbnails?

    To save you the trouble of manually going back post by post to recrop hundreds of thumbnails, the plugin does that for you at a click of a button.

    for Theme Developers …

  • (Optional) Call thumbnail using “$Wppt->get_post_thumbnail()” tag
    The plugin has a $Wppt->get_post_thumbnail() tag to call thumbnails generated by this plugin 
    $Wppt->get_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'post-thumbnail-square' );

    “$Wppt->get_post_thumbnail()” tag returns an array containing url, alt, title, width and height attributes.

    Here’s a sample on using $Wppt->get_post_thumbnail() tag in your posts loop:

    
<!-- wp post thumbnail -->

<?php if ( function_exists( "$Wppt->get_post_thumbnail" ) ) {

$thumb = $Wppt->get_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'thumbnail-custom-key-name' );

if ( !empty( $thumb ) ) { ?>

<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->ID); ?>" title="<?php echo $post->post_title; ?>"><img class="thumbnail" src="<?php echo $thumb['url']; ?>" title="<?php echo $thumb['title']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $thumb['alt']; ?>" width="<?php echo $thumb['width']; ?>" height="<?php echo $thumb['height']; ?>" /></a>

<?php }
} ?>
