WPThumb Shortcode

[Thunderlab]

I create a simple shortcode to insert external images. Here is the code:

function image_shortcode($atts) {
extract(shortcode_atts( array(
"url" => '',
"width" => '',
"height" => '',
"crop" => ''
), $atts));
$img = wpthumb($url,'width='.$width.'&height='.$height.'&crop='.$crop.'');
return "<img src='$img'/>";
} add_shortcode( 'img', 'image_shortcode' );

Usage [img url="http://...theimage.jpg" width="100" height="100" crop="1"]

this is a very interesting idea, let's decide on a shortcode name

[wpthumb httpgoogle.com.xom width=40]

Perhaps?

I think we coud not have an arg for the URL, easier to use maybe

Thats a great idea.

[wpthumb httpgoogle.com.xom width=40]

Could we scrap the http?

Could we scrap the http?

Yes I think so

[mattheu]

Really good idea.

Should be able to specify attachment ID instead of URL.

Would almost like to see all images inserted like this - Makes it much easier to filter the output - currently impossible to do this on old posts- eg replace with

[joehoyle]

Yes, only downside if one is locking themselves into wpthumb for images in their posts, maybe we could have an uninstall optino or something to go through posts and put in the image

[willmot]

Is there a standard WordPress image shortcode that we could just overload? That way we could be backwards compatible.

[joehoyle]

pretty sure there is not

[mattheu]

Yeah don't think there is.

Could have a compatibility plugin that uses the same shortcode to output the image without wpthumbing it
