So I was just playing around with WordPress 2.9 rare to see what changes have been made (as beta testing is starting soon) & it seems the clever people at WordPress may have just removed the need for my plugin (The Attached Image) with their new the_post_image() function.
What…
Yup, there is a brand new function called the_post_image() & a section on the post page to allow you to pick a picture to be used from the media gallery. All you do is include it in your template & away you go. You can even specify the size of the thumbnail WordPress should display by using a argument (parameter) like so the_post_image('medium');.
So I Ask You This…
My question is this. Now WordPress have officially implemented this feature, and from what I can see it should be ready for 2.9, is there still a use for my plugin? If not is there anything you would like to see happen to the plugin to allow it to still be useful? I was considering adding some form of thumbnail regeneration feature in the future (something similar to timthumbs) as it has been requested quite often lately. Let me know your thoughts & any request you have for the direction of The Attached Image now that WP has a similar system of it’s own.
