Phototools: media2post

Description

This plugin handles a number of things:

  • An extra “ create post” option in the row menu for mediaitems in the listview
  • An new “ create post featured image” bulk option
  • add some code to make sure that when you delete a post, the image is cleared properly (post_parent = 0) so it shows up in the “ unattached” filter
  • add MediaRSS to your feed.

By default it create “ private” posts as I needed this plugin to deal with older photos. As I use the image postdate as
default for the postdate, private leaves this date alone which publish and draft->publish by default moves the postdate
the date of publishing. Private is also easy to find in the “ posts” window.
They also get an “ media2post” tag so they are easy to find.
De owner of the post equals the owner of the image.

Special thanks go to mr. Jeremy Felt who wrote “ Automatic Featured Image Posts” and who’s code heavily
“ influenced” this plugin. I learned a lot from his code!

FAQ

Why did you write this widget?

I run a photo site and after a number of merges and changes to the site I got stuck with a few hundered unattached
images. As I didn’t feel like dealing with this by hand I wrote this image.
