PictPress 0.91

Friday, May 28th, 2004

Update: The newest version is PictPress 1.0.

Important: This version does not properly check the size argument to the resize.php script and is vulnerable to website attacks. Please update to later versions.

PictPress is a wordpress 1.2 plugin that automatically appends thumbnails and picture pages to a post for all images found in a directory associated with the post. Thumbnails and pictures are resized on the fly and stored in a cache directory. For an example see my post with Vermeer paintings.

PictPress - planned extensions and wishlist

Saturday, May 15th, 2004

These are my planned extensions for PictPress:

  • Template functions that generate a prev/next thumbnail for picture pages.
  • Merging of new images in a picture directory with the previously generated content.
  • Optionally setting post-date to date of first picture.
  • Improving the CSS.
  • Add print CSS.
  • Integrating with WP2PDF.
  • I would like something like subtitles for the picture pages that are used as caption for the thumbnails.
  • Optionally add info from EXIF headers.
  • Moving image directory to arbitrary path instead of permalink.
  • Generate separate posts per image (in hidden category) instead of separate pages.
  • Make configuration options page.
  • Make rdjpgcom optional.
  • Make rewrite rule optional.
  • Add configuration variables for pictpress and cache directory.
  • Add option to prevent linking to full size image.
  • Make cache dir more flexible.
  • Make PictPress compatible with 1.3 version of WordPress.
  • Provide mass editing mode for picture post titles.

Hello world!

Thursday, May 6th, 2004

What we call the beginning is often the end
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
The end is where we start from….

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And to know the place for the first time.

–T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets, Little Gidding, V, 214-216, 239-242.
