UPDATED: Version 2.8 released 11/14/05. Download now!
NOTE: Please note that this plugin doesn’t support Wordpress 2.3. However, you can find a wonderful remake here that does.
Yay! After a lot of work, the new version of the Image Headline Plugin is available. This plugin was originally written by Joel Bennett but it’s come a long way since the beginning. New features in this version include:
- Excellent integration into the WordPress 1.5 Strayhorn administration interface.
- Gorgeous anti-aliased, soft shadows.
- Easier than ever to configure.
So, if you’re ready to take a gander, go on and tell me what you think. If you do end up using the plugin, please leave me a comment here with a link to your site so I can see the results! I’d love to see what you guys come up with.

I see the image tags and if I try to copy the path to the image and just load that URL I get a 404 error. Double check that your cacheurl points at where your cachefolder exists.

I had it working on a test site. Was working great. Moved it all over to my live install and now none of the png files will display. They are being created on the server (verified with FTP) and the img tags are being put in the HTML. Doesn’t make sense to me…any ideas? The test image doesn’t show in the admin either, but no errors.

You are to good. =P

:) It isn’t. Basically it’s a simple PHP counter variable that’s manually incremented for each comment in the loop and echoed at the appropriate time.

Yeah, I tried doing it myself, like I said, and ended up using ALOT of else statements, and the preview couldn’t keep up and it slowed the whole the forms down.
And just one more quick question, what is the template tag for comment numbers? I see you have them counting the comments in each post, but everytime I try to do that, I only get the comments ID number… =\

Gah! I was supposed to write up more on how that was done and I haven’t gotten around to it. Thanks for the reminder, I’ll get something written up soon. Most of it is in fact a plugin, there’s just a little bit extra that must be done.

Nevermind…finally got it. No clue what it was though.

Did you try the standard bundled font and it didn’t work either? Where did you create the folder?
MtDewVirus Says:February 18th, 2005 at 11:39 pm
I can’t get the plugin to find the fonts. I’ve created the folder, changed permissions, uploaded a TTF font. Still no luck. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. Any ideas?

This is great! It makes editing so much easier than with the old plugin. Now you need to make a plugin for your live preview, I have been trying to make one like yours, with the name and all, but haven’t figured it out… =)
