Trevor,
I updated the theme, put the code in the same way as before and now it works. Let me say that your plugin is very cool! I didn’t even know about the lightbox feature when my client purchased it. VERY COOL. Thank you!

Hi Chris,

Does anything show up in the comment box after entering the image URL? It should add “[img]http://…image.jpg[/img].

I was pleased to find your plugin but unfortunately it’s not functioning properly on my site. The link appears on the comment box, when clicked it brings up the box to enter a URL but when clicking OK, the box disappears and no image appears in the comment,

Appreciate any suggestions on how I might resolve this.

@Val & @Trollcats,

Thank you for reporting the issue. I just finished taking a look.

I upgraded the plugin to version 1.5. You can download it here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-comment-images/

Everything should be back to working. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Hey there Trevor. This plugin has just broken on our WP 2.8.6 install. First it just disappeared and all the embedded links became non-functioning, now I get this error when I try to reinstall it:

“The plugin does not have a valid header.”

Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Trevor,

I just upgraded that plugin to 1.4 and it didn’t show in my plugin page and of course it was disappear from my wordpress.
I tried to erase it and install again.
When I tried to activate it, there is an error, it said something like “it has no valid header”.

Please advise, thanks.

Nevermind, I found this line in the source and added the “width” parameter. Thanks for the plugin.

[code]
// Accepts 2 formats:
// 1.) [img]http://image.gif[/img]
// 2.) [img=http://image.gif]
function embed_images($content) {
$content = preg_replace('/\[img=?\]*(.*?)(\[\/img)?\]/e', '""', $content);
return $content;
}
[/code]

Trevor,

I’m using your plugin at http://pricelessimprinters.com/blog and I wanted to know if there is a way to control the size of the image within the code. I tested it and linked to a large image that was HUGE. Thanks.

I resize all my Images via CSS, it’s the simplest way and you can separately choose which size the have if you setup rules for each the blog page and the comment page.
Here’s the CSS you need:

max-width: 515px;
width: expression(this.width > 515 ? 515: true);

__________________________________________________________

I really hope Trevor comes up with a setting/setup page to deactive certain parts of the plugin.

• I don’t need the resizing via phpthumb
• I don’t want a separate Lightbox just for my comments (setting up my choice of Lightbox globally -not just for comments- seems more convenient to me)
• But what I obviously like to keep is are the “rel=”lightbox” tags, so that I can use/customize them wo work with other lightboxes (At the moment I get two lightboxes displayed in the comments)

Anyway nice plug-in… I just need some advise how to tweak it.

Cheers,
Patrick

Eric,

The plugin resizes all uploaded images so size should not be a problem. If you still require size restrictions, please contact me directly so I can try to help you out.
