Have you ever wanted to annotate your images like you can on Flickr and Facebook? It was fun but when I look for wordpress plugin to integrate similar functionality to the superwhite site and none was available. So I found JQuery Image Annotation from Chris with PHP support from GitHub. In a week, I had written my first plugin for WordPress called demon-image-annotation, the concept of annotating images with user comments. In recent posts you might notice there is a new button name “Add Note” on each images when you rollover, that would allows you to add textual annotations to images by select a region of the image and then attach a textual description. Here try it for yourself.

This plugin allows you to add textual annotations to images by select a region of the image and then attach a textual description, the concept of annotating images with user comments.

Integration with JQuery Image Annotation from Chris (http://www.flipbit.co.uk/jquery-image-annotation.html) with PHP support from GitHub (http://github.com/stas/jquery-image-annotate-php-fork).

It is hard to continue development and support for this free plugin without contributions from users like you. If you enjoy using demon Image Annotation and find it useful, please consider making a donation. Your donation will help encourage and support the plugin’s continued development and better user support.

Download Plugin

Version 5.4 | Requires at least: 2.5 | Tested up to: 6.4.2

1. Put the plugin folder into [wordpress_dir]/wp-content/plugins/
2. Go into the WordPress admin interface and activate the plugin
3. Choose the settings you want in demon-image-annotation settings.

First enter div wrapper id or class in settings where your post content appear, or else the plugin can’t find the wrapper to start.

Example (.entrybody)

<div class="entrybody>
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>


To embed annotations and comments on images, your img tag must have id attribute value start with ‘img-‘, this plugin already did the trick if you enable Auto Generate Image ID option.

If you wish to add an id attribute maunally, here is the guide on how to insert id attribute to img tag.

– First disable Auto Generate Image ID option
– Add an id attribute start with ‘img-‘ follow by unique id to img tag.
– All the images must have unique and different id or else you will get the same comments.

Example (img-4774005463)

<img id="img-4774005463" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4121/4774005463_3837b6de44_o.jpg" width="900" height="599" alt="Image Annotation Plugin" />

Decide the option for WordPress Comments setting.

Sync with wordpress comments:
– image note sync with wordpress comment database
– modified comment will auto update both database
– deleted comment from wordpress comment will not sync, have to delete manually in image notes table list.
– new image note from annoymous will auto add into wordpress comment as waiting approval.
– the image note only publish when the comment is approve.

Not sync with wordpress comments:
– standalone image note database.
– new image note will publish without approval.

Pls note if you switch the option, the comments added with previous option will not load.

Disable Add Note button:
Add an addable attribute with value “false” to disable the add note button, but image notes still viewable.
Login User who can Moderate Comments still able to see Add button option.

<img id="img-4774005463" addable="false" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4121/4774005463_3837b6de44_o.jpg" width="900" height="599" alt="Image Annotation Plugin" />


Exclude image:
Add an exclude attribute to disable image annotation function.
