I looked into this, and added a couple new parameters for [field] and [if] to display/check current post’s post format.
Post format slug: [field post-format]
Post format label: [field post-format-name]
Post format label with link to archive: [field post-format-link]
[if format]
Post has post format.
[else]
Post has no post format.
[/if]
[if format=audio]
Post has audio post format.
[/if]
However, there was no easy way to support icons. This is because it depends on the theme if and what icons are loaded on the frontend. A couple ideas:
1) If the theme loads icon fonts, you can manually display them for each post format. You’ll have to figure out how to display them and which icons would be appropriate.
[if format=audio]
<i class="icon-audio"></i>
[/if]
2) Or, you can include icon fonts/images in the theme yourself, then display them.
[if format=audio]
<img src="[url theme]/image/post-format/audio.png">
[/if]
..or..
<img src="[url theme]/image/post-format/[field post-format].png">

Hi,
Thanks for the swift reply and changes. My theme already has post-format icons and displays them on the regular blog page.
my problem now is that the shortcodes don’t work within the <img> tag
<img src=”[url theme]/images/post-formats/[field post-format].png”>
Viewing page source this is exactly how it displays.
Are the shortcodes inside a post or in a template?

If the theme has post format icons, then it’s matter of figuring out how they’re displayed and reproduce the syntax.

They are in a post… well, a page that is listing a loop of posts
Hmm..if it’s in a post, then shortcodes should be processed by the_content filter. I tested this on my end, and the shortcodes are being run. Is the page displayed in a non-standard way somehow..?

It is a close to fresh install of Dynamik Website Builder which is a Genesis child theme.
All the shortcodes on the page work fine except if I put a shortcode inside an <img> or <a> tag… then they do not render.
I see, the page builder is filtering the post content differently.
I just made a plugin update, please try the following:
[image][url theme]/image/post-format/[field post-format].png[/image]
This is assuming that you have icon images in the specified location.

I discovered that the standard post-format is blank. [field post-format] only returns a value for other formats, not the standard one.
Here is what I ended up with that works for all post formats.
[if field=post-format][image][url child]/images/post-formats/[field post-format].png[/image][else][image][url child]/images/post-formats/default.png[/image][/if]
Thanks for your remarkable customer support.
I’m glad to hear we solved it. 🙂
Just for fun, here’s another variation:
[image][url child]/images/post-formats/[if format][field post-format][else]default[/if].png[/image]
