WP-Phototagger Released!

I’m excited to announce the release of my first WordPress Plugin, the WP-Phototagger: Facebook-like phototagging functionality for WordPress!

This is a BETA release. I could really use some help testing. I already know this plugin is incompatible with some themes, especially if they use CSS classes like *{}. Sometimes this breaks the location of the tags. If your theme is doing this, you’ll know as soon as you post your first tagged image. I’m working on fixing this, perhaps in a future release.

Instructions here.

Download here.

Special Thanks: Jeff Yustman & #wordpress

    ok, looks good, but could you update the description? this seems to be about tagging persons/locations in the photo, not giving the whole photo a tag, right?

    does this somehow interact with the normal wordpress tags? that would be pretty great :-) and can one customize the links for the tags, i.e. to make them link to the wordpress tag page for that particular tag?

    ok, stumbled at the first hurdle :-) when clicking on add new tag, nothing happens. firebug is not showing any errors. what scripts should be loaded on that page?

    @ovidiu: Right now this uses its own set of tags (separate from from WordPress’s tags on posts). It was intentionally designed this way but in a future release perhaps I’ll integrate them both to use the same set of tags.

    After you click “add tag”, you need to click on the image to place the tag. Once you do that, a box should appear on the image and a tag info dialog should appear. If this is not happening, then something is wrong.. the following scripts are required (and should be loaded by the plugin):
    jquery
    draggable
    resizable
    suggest
    wp-phototagger_admin.js

    Let me know if you continue to have problems.

    none of those scripts is being loaded http://screencast.com/t/unZnFXSDqH . again, maybe I am doing something wrong: in the back end, I go to the media library, click edit picture, then edit tags, then add tag, then onto the picture but nothing happens…

    hello.
    I didn’t answer faster because I noticed I had actually a permission problem. initially .htaccesses couldn’t be used/parsed, fixsed that on the server, then noticed there is a difference how I update plugins: seems plugin central and the built-in updates set different permissions :-( (running suPhp so permissions are very important :-(

    runs now insofar, as I can click new tag, the box for the tag name and target open, when hovering over the picture the mouse changes to the cross thinggy, I can click and make a tag but not drag. I can only click once, as soon as I start dragging, the whole picture gets dragged so I can’t actually mark a part of the pic as a tag.

    hopefully that was udnerstandable?
