SourcedFrom is a semantic syndication service for web content. It makes blog or website entries available for re-publishing (syndication).

Please check it out, I hope it will be useful to you.

we fixed it by replacing $caption_text on line 104 with stripslashes($caption_text)

worked like a charm so, hope this is useful to anyone.

This works very well and does everything except align images for the absolute top or left/right of a post; WP adds padding around the entire caption instead of having it butted up to the left or right or top left, top right. So unless you specifically need that I’d use the in-built image caption feature contained within WP 2.6.

For more on this feature you can watch the WP 2.6 new features video.

Thanks very much to everyone who left comments and emailed me, it looks like WP were listening too and it’s great that they have created this new feature. I really appreciated all the nice things people said.

Because WP’s captions feature does not work retrospectively (with all your old posts) you can combine this plugin to have it work with your old posts and use WP captioning with your new ones (that’s if you don’t want to go through all your old posts and manually add captions). To do this add these lines to your ‘image-caption-easy.php’ script file at line 37 (just after the function imagecaptioneasy($html) {):

//Will not use this plugin if post id is greater then the number set below:
$skip_from_post_id = 100;
if (get_the_ID() > $skip_from_post_id) {
return $html;
}

Change the value 100 to what ever post id to not work from.

Thanks for the fix and comment.

I will try and set some time aside in the not too distant future to incorporate all of the suggestions and fixed from everyone’s comments.

Mark.

$posL = strpos($image_text, $attribute_tag.”=”);

Seems to work. Jury is still out as to whether this is really a hack or not.

I’d like to see the code look for the alt tag via a regex, but I see that there is a comment in there about it affecting performance.

First off, thanks for this plugin. There are a handful out there, and I have tried all of them. This one is by far the best one so far. As someone else said, WP should come with this out of the box. But I digress…

There is a small problem that I am running into that I wanted to make you and your faithful downloaders aware of. Since the script checks for the presence of the word ‘alt’ (no quotes of course) in the image tag, if you have anything in your URL that has that, it will break the plugin. For instance, my site’s URL is http://exhibitabaltimore.com - so the ‘alt’ in baltimore throws this all off and displays static text with the rest of the post slug above the pic.

I’m trying to put together a workaround, but if you or someone else had a quick fix, I’m all ears.

Thanks!
