SB Uploader gets an upgrade

June 27th, 2011

It’s been a while since I have posted anything, simply because I have been too busy with work and family etc… However, this is a good one for you. I have just spent the last couple of days on and off extending the SB Uploader plugin. For those of you that don’t know what it does it’s a meta box that sits in the post/page interface within WordPress and allows you to upload images and attach them to your content effortlessly and without being bombarded with options such as those that WordPress gives by default.

This new update adds some really useful features to the plugin. They are as follows:

  • Multiple instances of an uploader meaning you can have more than one image per page
  • Shortcodes added so you can effortlessly use your images within your content without coding
  • Configurable names (custom field names) for uploads so you aren’t stuck with post_image (see screenshot in gallery below)
  • Not only posts and pages, it now works with categories, tags and other taxonomies as well
  • Widgets added for both post and taxonomy images. Backup text/HTML added or optionally hides widget if no image uploaded

Grab a copy now from the WordPress extend directory. It’s free remember so worth a go. Please do let me know if you would like help using it or if you can think of any way of bettering it. I always enjoy a good challenge!
