I ported a new textpattern plugin in from the code done by Harvey Kane for A List Apart Issue #219 in an article called Automatic Magazine Layout.

I like how easy it was to make this plugin thanks to the amazing people and community writing about how to get things done in textpattern. The issue that this brought up with me, though, is that, while my plugin is easy to use for the people who design, install and make textpattern, it’s hard for clients to deal with. How do they know what a “pipe-delimited” string is? I’d like to see easier to use and extend back-ends. Not just easier-to-add-a-little-piece-in-that-doesn’t-really-fit systems.

I made this plugin output absolutely nothing if there are no images found. So feel free to put it in your default article form, and only use it when you feel like it.

Here’s the plugin links:

» I have changed the name of this plugin and my other plugin to reflect the three-letter preface. Thanks.
