Associates an image file (jpg or png) to a given category.
<h3>Upgrading to 1.2.1</h3>
If you are upgrading from an older version of this plugin it is very important that you backup your img folder found on this plugin’s directory before you upgrade.
After you update the plugin overwrite the img folder with the old one, otherwise you will lose your images.
I will provide a fix so that this is not necessary on the next update. Sorry for the inconvenience.
<h3>1.2.1</h3>
I reorganized the files so that the automatic plugin installer would work properly.
<h3>1.2</h3>
Addressed several bugfixes regarding the wordpress prefix and some icons that weren’t visible.
The category selection box now features a recursive function to traverse through all the categories at all levels.
<h3>1.1</h3>
Added a table where you can view the images that are assigned to the category and added a cleanup functions that will clean 
the database of all records that belong to categories that are not in wordpress anymore.

Many WordPress themes, are heavily dependant on “feature images” to use as thumbnails to make them look good. This is great except it adds a lot of extra work setting up these thumb references, but equally if you are in a hurry and forget you add the thumb then the look of the theme breaks.
So here is Tui’s Find Thumb plugin. It is very easy to use. It’s purpose is to replace the Image function currently used in your theme with one that is lot more clever. With these new functions available you can do everything from a randomly select an image, or return a URL or IMG tag source specifically for that post.
The post option works through this logic until it gets a result
<ol>
<li>Returns an IMG tag based on the thumbnail set in the post meta data (through special post fields) </li>
<li>The first image in the post</li>
<li>A randomly chosen image from a directory (in your base images directory) with the same name as the posts first category slug.</li>
<li>A randomly chosen image from your base images directory</li>
</ol>
<h3>Functions available</h3>
There are 5 funtions that can be accessed through this plugin.
1. tui_findRandomBackgroundSTYLE()
<pre><code>Returns a random image URL from the background images folder if one exists else the base image folder.
</code></pre>
2, tui_findRandomThumbURL()

3. tui_findRandomThumbIMG(“Height”,”Width”,”Class”,”Title”,”Alt”)

4. tui_findPostThumbURL(“thepostID”)
