Unattached images

[pixedelic]

Hi, great plugin!

Is there any way to use it with non-attached images? I would like to use the plugin with placeholders as well, if possible.

TIA, Manuel :-)

Hi Manuel

The plugin hooks on to the following Wordpress functions:

wp_get_attachment_image_src
wp_get_attachment_image
the_post_thumbnail
get_the_post_thumbnail

wich all require the image to be added to the post or media section i Wordpress. You would have to add the images you want to use as placeholders to the media section and insert them using something like

wp_get_attachment_image(MEDIAID, array(500,500) );

Thank you, in facts I'm using media_sideload_image() to upload a placeholder when the theme is installed for the first time and a custom function to get the ID of the just uploaded placeholder from the the db, after that. But I was wondering if there was a fastest way, in particular because the custom function to retrieve the ID is not a core function. However doesn't matter, thank you for the reply :-)
