There are a number of programs you can use to create entries for a WordPress blog. Now that I own an N900 phone, I’d like to use the excellent MaStory<\/a> client. This works fine, unless you want to upload photos.<\/p>\n

When you upload a photo, WordPress automatically make smaller versions of the image (of configurable size). Unfortunately it doesn’t tell the client what the URLs to these resized images are. I’ve created a patch to WordPress<\/a> that returns the URLs but it has missed the cut off for 3.0 so it’ll be some time before it gets included. In the mean time, I’ve created a tiny plugin that does the same thing.<\/p>\n

This plugin is not useful to you at all unless you use a blogging client that makes use of it. The only client I intend to alter is MaStory so I’m imagining this plugin will not be used by a lot of people.<\/p>\n

To use the plugin:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Download the plugin<\/a> (It’s now available from its plugin page<\/a> on wordpress.org as well)<\/li>\n
  2. Upload `ImageURLReturner.php` to the `\/wp-content\/plugins\/` directory<\/li>\n
  3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress<\/li>\n
  4. Use a blogging client that makes use of the plugin – this is the hard bit – there is no such client at the moment. I have created a patch for MaStory<\/a> though.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Update<\/b>: (Sept 11th 2010) I’ve just uploaded a new version<\/a> (0.2) that handles images with duplicate names. Thanks to the people who pointed out the bug.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
