Cum funcționează

This Plugin replaces and extends the following features.

• Generate cover image of PDF by using ImageMagick. Generated Image has different size variations and is attached to PDF.
• Register Generated Image as Featured Image (post-thumbnail) of PDF.
• Display Generated Image as icon instead of Mime-type Icon in Admin Page.
• Hide Generated Image file itself in Media Library. (v1.2 or later)
• Replace link text with JPG when inserting PDF to Text Editor.
• Delete Generated Image when deleting PDF from Media Library.
• Allow to manage and output Generated Image and PDF on manually in template file. (see Other Notes.)
• Allow to set PDF as Featured Image and to use functions in the same way as image file. (v1.2 or later, see Other Notes.)
• Allow to control maximum size of Generated Image and other default settings in Plugin Page. (v1.3.4 or later)

Generated Items

A generated image file is registered as post children of a PDF file and it has different size variations. Files build a tree like below.

• my-file.pdf (Your PDF)
  • my-file-pdf.jpg (Generated Cover Image of Your PDF)
    • my-file-pdf-1024×768.jpg (Large Size)
    • my-file-pdf-300×225.jpg (Medium Size)
    • my-file-pdf-150×150.jpg (Thumbnail size)
    • …(And Your Custom File Sizes)

Insert HTML into the editor

Select a PDF file in the Media Uploader and insert it into the the editor. An output HTML is automatically rewritten like below.

<a class="link-to-pdf" title="dummy-pdf" href="http://exmaple.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/dummy-pdf.pdf" target="_blank"><img width="227" height="320" class="size-medium wp-image-9999 thumb-of-pdf" src="http://exmaple.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/dummy-pdf-pdf-227x320.jpg" alt="thumbnail-of-dummy-pdf" /></a>

*If you are using a document viewer plugin (like GDE) and want insert html which is made by it, select „Default (Title)” of „media” selector.

Get thumbnail in template file

A generated image ID is stored in [‘_thumbnail_id’] custom field of a PDF attachment post. An image ID is exportable by using get_post_thumbnail_id($your_pdf_id) or get_post_meta($your_pdf_id, ‘_thumbnail_id’, true) functions in a template file.

$pdf_id = 'your PDF file ID';
if ( $thumbnail_id = get_post_thumbnail_id( $pdf_id ) ) {
echo '<a class="pdf-link image-link" href="'.wp_get_attachment_url( $pdf_id ).'" title="'.esc_attr( get_the_title( $pdf_id ) ).'" target="_blank">'.wp_get_attachment_image ( $thumbnail_id, 'medium' ).'</a>';
}

Or more simply, you can call images and link to PDF files by wp_get_attachment_image($your_pdf_id, $size) and wp_get_attachment_link($your_pdf_id, $size) functions. (v1.2 or later) *If the plugin is deactivated, this function just will return empty.

$pdf_id = 'your PDF file ID';
echo wp_get_attachment_image ( $pdf_id, 'medium' );
echo wp_get_attachment_link ( $pdf_id, 'medium' );

If you call all PDFs that are attached to the post. You can get them by get_posts function.

Examples.
Dynamically get PDFs that are attached to the post.

<?php
$pdfs = get_posts( 'posts_per_page=-1&post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=application/pdf&post_parent='.$post->ID );
if( $pdfs ): foreach( $pdfs as $pdf ):
  $thumbnail_id = get_post_thumbnail_id( $pdf->ID );
  if( $thumbnail_id ):
    echo '<li>';
    echo '<a href="'wp_get_attachment_url( $pdf->ID )'" class="link-to-pdf">';
    echo wp_get_attachment_image ( $thumbnail_id, 'medium' );
    echo '</a>';
    echo '</li>';
  endif;
endforeach; endif;
?>

Set PDF thumbnail as Featured Image

The plugin support you to set PDF as Featured Image. (v1.2 or later)
Strictly explaining, when you set a PDF as Featured Image, the plugin automatically set the thumbnail which is registered with this PDF.
You can call thumbnail by using get_the_post_thumbnail function.

echo get_the_post_thumbnail ( $post->ID, 'medium' );

May you want pdf file from the post thumbnail.

$thumb_id = get_post_thumbnail_id ( $post->ID );
$pdf_id = get_post( $thumb_id )->post_parent;
if ( $pdf_id && get_post_mime_type ( $pdf_id ) === 'application/pdf' ){
  $pdf = get_post($pdf_id);
  echo '<a class="link-to-pdf" href="'.wp_get_attachment_url($pdf_id).'" title="'.esc_html($pdf->post_title).'" target="_blank">'.get_the_post_thumbnail().'</a>'."\n";
}

Display attachment data with in caption

The plugin allows you to insert [caption] short-code into the post content area as when insert an image. If you want to display attachment title, description, file type, file size and so on, use img_caption_shortcode filter in your functions.php.
Here’s an example code…
function add_attachment_data_in_caption( $empty, $attr, $content ) {
$attr = shortcode_atts( array( ‘id’=>”, ‘align’=>’alignnone’, ‘width’=>”, ‘caption’=>” ), $attr );
if ( 1 > (int) $attr[‘width’] || empty( $attr[‘caption’] ) ) return ”;
if ( $attr[‘id’] ) {
$attr[‘id’] = ‘id=”‘ . esc_attr( $attr[‘id’] ) . ‘” ‘;
$attachment_id = explode(‘_’, $attr[‘id’]);
$attachment_id = $attachment_id[1];// get attachment id
if( get_post_mime_type ( $attachment_id ) === ‘application/pdf’ ){
$attachment = get_post( $attachment_id );
$bytes = filesize( get_attached_file( $attachment->ID ) );
if ($bytes >= 1073741824) $bytes = number_format($bytes / 1073741824, 2). ‘ GB’;
elseif ($bytes >= 1048576) $bytes = number_format($bytes / 1048576, 2). ‘ MB’;
elseif ($bytes >= 1024) $bytes = number_format($bytes / 1024, 2). ‘ KB’;
elseif ($bytes > 1) $bytes = $bytes. ‘ bytes’;
elseif ($bytes == 1) $bytes = $bytes. ‘ byte’;
else $bytes = ‘0 bytes’;
$attr[‘caption’] =
‘title : ‘ .$attachment->post_title. ‘
‘ . // title
‘caption : ‘ .$attr[‘caption’]. ‘
‘ .// caption
‘size : ‘ .$bytes. ‘
‘ . // file size
‘filetype : ‘ .get_post_mime_type ( $attachment_id ). ‘
‘ . // file type
‘description : ‘ .$attachment->post_content. ‘
‘; // description
}
}

    return 
      '<div ' .$attr['id']. 'class="wp-caption ' .esc_attr( $attr['align'] ). '" style="max-width: ' .( 10 + (int) $attr['width'] ). 'px;">' .
      do_shortcode( $content ). '<p class="wp-caption-text">' .$attr['caption']. '</p>' .
      '</div>';
}
add_filter('img_caption_shortcode', 'add_attachment_data_in_caption', 10, 3);
