New version of Get The Image Plugins, What is the difference?

In my previous post, i always using get the image plugins ver 0.33. And always said to you that you should never update it. After studying this newer version, actually the new version of get the image plugins give us more weapon, although there is some code that change. That’s why our previous code will not works anymore when we update this get the image plugins.

Major change that you should know about new version of get the image plugins is :

• In the previous ver, we can use this : <?php get_the_image(); ?> but in the newer version, the image scan default is changed to false. so we must activate it. It will be looks like this : <?php get_the_image(‘image_scan=true’); ?>
• In the previous ver, get the image plugins using “custom_key” to load specified custom field (example : <?php get_the_image(‘custom_key=thumbnail’); ?> ), but in the new version of get the image plugins, Justin Tadlock has change it into “meta_key” (example : <?php get_the_image(‘meta_key=thumbnail’); ?> )

Great feature add for the new version of get the image plugins is the “meta_key_save”. This feature can aid us to add the image url into custom field that we need. For example, i want my image url added into custom fields with name “myfeaturedimage”, then i will add this script : <?php get_the_image(‘meta_key_save=myfeaturedimage’); ?>

This is the secret weapon for this plugins. We can use this feature, and combine it with FEATURED CONTENT GALLERY plugins to show slider image. Nice !!!!!

once again, thanks to Justin Tadlock
