    Hi,

    Given how fully featured this plugin is, I was surprised to find two shortcode views missing which I would have thought to be fairly basic: single image thumbnails and album content covers. Both represent views I use pretty regularly.

    Single image thumbnails: This would be a shortcode to a single photo which would display the thumbnail in the post or page, then would show the full image when clicked. Right now I’m rendering these manually using <img src=”path/to/thumb” />.

    Album content covers: This would be a shortcode showing all the images in an album in the same format as you currently have for album covers, with the name and description and the thumbnail, again showing the full image when clicked. Previously I had manually built tables to show this, but recently I’ve been converting those to slideshows instead. I would much prefer this format, though.

    Am I just missing the codes that would give me these?

    1. I could add the feature to use the thumbnail image file – if it is large enough – in the ‘single photo’ display ( [wppa photo="123" size="120"][/wppa] ). ??

    2. There is the thumbnail display type ‘like album covers’. I can imagine you do not want that to be used systemwide, but in combination with the shortcode [wppa_set ...][/wppa_set] you should be able to do this on an incidental basis. Example:
    – Tick the box in Table IX-A7: Enable inline settings.
    – Make sure Table IX-A8: Runtime modifyable settings contains at least: wppa_thumbtype ( should be there by default ).
    Use this in your page:

    [wppa_set name="wppa_thumbtype" value="ascovers"][/wppa_set]
[wppa type="thumbs" album="123"][/wppa]
[wppa_set][/wppa_set]

    On responsive themes use: value="ascovers-mcr"

    Why does bold and italic sometimes no longer work on the forum? When your backticks are out of sequence…

    Ignore this post.

    Thanks for your feedback.

    1. There doesn’t seem to be any clickthrough to get to the full image in the ‘single photo’ display. Is there a way to enable that? If so, sounds like the method you propose would work.

    2. Ah, yes. That gave me exactly what I was after. Thanks.
