## Description

This plugin provides the template tag `wp_get_post_image()`. Use it to call dynamically
created images uploaded via the WordPress media uploader.

NOTE: This plugin is intended for use by WordPress developers and theme builders
only.

#### Usage

    ```
    <?php wp_get_post_image($args); ?>
    ```

#### Default Usage

    ```
    <?php $args = array(
        'width' => null,
        'height' => null,
        'css' => '',
        'parent_id' => '',
        'post_id' => '',
        'filename' => '',
        'return_html' => true       
    ); ?>
    ```

By default, the function returns:

 * The last uploaded image wrapped in an image tag (`<img />`).
 * A proportionately sized image with a `width` no greater than `200px`.
 * The CSS class `wp-image-*ID*` and no other classes.
 * If you add `thickbox` via `css`, the appropriate anchor `<a>` tag will be added
   for Thickbox compatibility.

#### Parameters

 * **width** (_integer_) – Width of image.
 * **height** (_integer_) – Height of image.
 * **parent_id** (_integer_) – The ID of the `post_parent` for the attachment. Specifying
   the `parent_id` returns the first image attached to the parent post according
   to `menu_order`.
 * **post_id** (_integer_) – The ID of the attachment.
 * **filename** (_string_) – The filename that corresponds to the `post_name` of
   the attachment.
 * **return_html** (_boolean_) – `true` returns the image wrapped in an XHTML image
   tag. `false` returns the image’s URL.

#### Example

    ```
    <?php 
    // use this example wherever you have access to $post->ID, e.g. the WordPress loop
    if(function_exists('wp_get_post_image'))
        echo wp_get_post_image('width=450&css=alignleft&parent_id='.$post->ID);  
    ?>
    ```

## Changelog

#### 0.2 (2010-01-26)

 * Adjusted `$image->basepath` to reference `get_bloginfo('wpurl')` instead of `
   get_bloginfo('url')`. This makes the plugin work when WordPress is installed 
   in one directory while the blog displays in another. (HT: [Mike Cohen](http://mikecohenmedia.com/))
