Image Formatr is a simple plugin that goes through all the content images on posts & pages, and with zero user changes:

  1. gives them a standardized thumbnail format using CSS
  2. puts a caption underneath each one using the title
  3. makes them linked so they popup in full size

Thumbnails are not generated, but will be used if available in the media library. This plugin is driven by the prettyPhoto library so we could call this plugin a prettyPhoto integration plugin.

*Note: Supports images on Flickr.

Usage

This only applies to the images you put in your content, not theme graphics.

<img
  src="/images/picture.jpg"
  class="alignright"
  title="A sample caption"
  link="http://example.com/"
  hint="Image borrowed from example.com"
/>

After the plugin runs, the output to the browser looks like:

<div class="img alignright">
  <a
    href="/images/picture.jpg"
    rel="prettyPhoto[main]">
    <img
      src="/images/picture.jpg"
      title="Image borrowed from example.com" alt=""
      width="140" height="90"/>
  </a>
  <div style="width: 100%;">
    <a href="http://example.com/" target="_blank">A sample caption</a>
  </div>
</div>
