Not long ago I ran across some a set of scripts (JavaScript/PHP) called Facelift which is an alternative to sIFR and I thought this needs WordPress plugin to make it easy for people to use with WordPress.
So I downloaded it and created a plugin from it. Since then – Sunday – it’s proven extremely popular.
A lot of people seem to be having some issues with it and I think the bulk of them come down to two things:
First you need to have the GD Graphics Library built into your PHP installation. This is probably the main contributor to the problem. The second issue is probably not having your cache folder for the plugin be writable. I’ll be glad to help anyone – within reason – get these issues resolved.
I am pretty much constantly trying to work on this plugin to get it up to version 1.0.0 – it currently sits at 0.5.5 and as such is functional but incomplete.
You can get it from Facelift Image Replacement and you can get support at Mawhorter.net Forums or via commenting on the plugin page.
Hey, when will Quick Effect be added? I’m looking forward to this!
I wish I could give you a concrete answer but I can’t. I’m working with implementing the new version of FLIR into the plugin and all I can say is probably sometime after that release. Sorry I can’t be more specific.
