<p>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.</p>
<p>So here is <strong>Tui’s Find Thumb</strong> 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.</p>
<p>The post option works through this logic until it gets a result</p>
<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>
<p>There are 5 funtions that can be accessed through this plugin.</p>
<p><strong>1. tui_findRandomBackgroundSTYLE()</strong></p>
<pre><code>Returns a random image URL from the background images folder if one exists else the base image folder.

<p>I needed a simple and light plugin to add Thumbs Rating, I couldn’t find any so I built my own.</p>
<p>This plugin allows you to add a thumb up/down rating to your content (posts, pages, and custom post types). You can set it up to show anywhere you want, check out the Installation instructions.</p>
<p>The output is very basic, no images, no fonts, no fancy CSS. Customize the ouput overriding the CSS classes in your <strong>style.css</strong> file.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>No output printed by default, <strong>check the Installation instructions</strong>.</li>
<li>Stores the votes values for each content in the current post table (no new database tables are created).</li>
<li>Uses HTML5 LocalStorage to prevent the users from voting twice.</li>
<li>Easy to customize the output using CSS.</li>
<li>Show the most voted (positive/negative) items using shortcodes.</li>
<li>Show the buttons using shortcodes.</li>
<li>No jQuery dependency.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Internet Explorer 11 support</h4>
<p>If you want the plugin to work with IE11 users, you need jQuery. For that use the 3.4.2 version of the plugin.</p>
<p>From 4.0.0 onwards the plugin has no dependencies and uses vanilla JavaScript (ES6 syntax). Which will cause it not to work for IE11 users.</p>

Thumbs Rating

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this plugin. Everything works flawlessly, even with a site with 200+ entries directly on a homepage (a timeline).

Thank you for this superb plugin Richard. I was really lucky to pick this one when looking around for a good one.

I can't share the site because of the rules, but lets just say I'm more than happy with the result :-)

The code example for clearing cache on vote was useful as well.

Fantastic!

Thumbs Rating does what you'd expect. It allows you to add a thumbs up/down to your content (posts, pages, and custom post types).
