• Add Unique header Image to single post/single page
• Add Unique header Image to home page
• Add Unique header Image to archive/category/author page
• Add Unique header Image to search page
• Add Unique header Image to 404 page

Well,That is just the brief.I have modified the plugin to support both PHP4 and PHP5.It is ready and I have tested it with wp 2.8.2.

I need you people to test it on PHP4 server(as I have PHP5 only servers/local installations)

If you want to experience the new plugin ,please drop me a line/leave a comment  and I will send you a zip,I will be glad to mention your name at this blog as helping hands/beta testers.

I look forward to your help and participation in the beta testing of the plugin.

   I am currently working on my uncle’s website using wordpress (friendsofteodoro.com), one of my frustration was having a consistent header for all pages, would be nice to customize headers for specific post/pages/cats — I think your plugin is the perfect solution to my problem.

   I am hoping I be given the opportunity to test this, I am not a WP guru – but I do believe my server runs in php4.

   Thanks!

   Hello,

   Yesterday I installed your plugin on my local machine (php5) and it worked perfect.
   Now I’m trying to install it on our server (php4) and it doesn’t work. So……..I’ll be happy to test it

   First of all… excellent work on developing this plugin. This is one specific plugin that we have been looking for and nearly developed on our own.

   Let me make three key suggestion which would allow this plugin to gain true popularity and extend its usage into different situations.

   Suggestions are as follows:

   1ST SUGGESTION)
   From my understanding of the recent revision you made you added the ability to add custom images to the admin add/edit pages for EACH category, EACH tag, and EACH author. From what I can tell (using Wordpress V 2.8.4) this capability is not in place and thus I feel you should defiantly integrate this.

   2ND SUGGESTION) Image Management Capability:
   At a minimum I would like to suggest a very simple necessary enhancement which would allow you to “delete” an image that was uploaded previously and provide a larger image image view (via dhtml) when you hover over the uploaded one which upon a click would show the original image/size in a new popup window.

   Assuming you want to enhance this management a bit further (recommended) the ideal situation would be to take a look at possibly cloning some of the functionality of this “wp-post-thumbnail” plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-post-thumbnail/) to allow for a greater degree of control over any uploaded image. Aside from adding general cropping capabilities, it would be excellent if through your plugin you were able to call different sizes/dimensions of a single uploaded image and thus were able to call these various versions via template code.

   3RD SUGGESTION) I feel many additional usage situations would become available if this plugin allowed users to upload multiple images to each page, post, category, tag and author. With this capability added you should be able to call these images in different ways such as: all images, just the first/last or just specific ones (1,2,3,4..).

   Here is a real world usage example: We were working on a website on which we wanted to give the editor the ability to control a set of auto rotating header images which were specific to each post. In our example case each post was a past event and for each of these event posts we need to include an automatic jquery slideshow displaying various pictures from that specific event. We have noticed that utilizing the standard media manager is very confusing for clients and thus your plugin would work perfect if it has these capabilities. I can also think of many different situations where this added ability would become extremely useful.

   4TH SUGGESTION): Add additional fields for each image that is uploaded. I feel these should be:
   – Title
   – Caption
   – Description

   I realize that your objective was to keep this plugin as basis as possible especially for the write panel pages however I would suggest that you integrate as many of these features as possible and extend the plugins admin pages to increase/decrease this functionality thus keeping it as simple and as flexible to all.

   Thanks again for a great initial plugin!

     hi Chris
     Thanks for all the suggestions.I am considering at least 2 of your suggestions to be implemented in this release.
     1.The uploaded images can be managed via media manager(just implementing that)
     2.per category unique header(I am not sure though,It is a good idea or not).

     For rest,I wanted to keep this plugin simple enough to be used for normal wordpress users.Still I will be thinking about your other suggestions.
     Thanks so much!

   Hello Brajesh

   I was looking for a plugin exactly like that. I have made a web site using artisteer software. Was wondering if your solution is working with artisteer and if yes, where do I need to modify to make it work.

   Presently, I’m running Wordpress 2.8.6

   I have installed your plugin and activate it. I see your plugin section in pages, and I’m able to upload a picture with the browse option. The picture is upload successfully and I can see it. I publish but nothing happens.
   I can also see the option pages where you define the default images for various page and I did put a working url link.

   In your readme file, it say to add a line in wp-config.php
   and I did

   Is there anything I should look for

   Thanks in advance
