Gabfire Media Module Plugin

Gabfire Media Module extends the functionality of WordPress Featured Image to support Videos and Default Post Images.

Videos and pictures don’t have to be difficult. Gabfire themes include a media module that makes embedding media simple.

This plugin is maintained by the folks over at http://www.gabfirethemes.com

We strongly suggest you to use this plugin together with

Sample Code

<?php gabfire_media(array( 'name' => 'figure', 'imgtag' => 1, 'link' => 1, 'enable_thumb' => 1, 'enable_video' => 0, 'resize_type' => 'c', 'media_width' => 415, 'media_height' => 284, 'thumb_align' => 'alignnone', 'enable_default' => 1, 'default_name' => 'defaultimage.png' )); ?> 

name -> Name of post thumbnail to be used thats going to be resized to display featured image

imgtag -> 1 or 0. Using this option you can add/remove ‘<img src’ tag to image.

link -> 1 or 0. If set 1, the image will have a link to post

enable_thumb -> 1 or 0. You may want to use this option function just to get featured post thumbnails

enable_video -> 1 or 0. You may want to use this option function just to get videos

resize_type -> c, w, or h. C will crop image to exact size. w resizes the width and calculates height in proportion. h resizes the height and calculates width in proportion.

thumb_align -> adds a class to media

enable_default -> 1 or 0. You can set a default image to display if post has no media

default_name -> name of image to display. The image path is yourtheme/images/thumbs directory.
