Hi.

Converting .doc won’t be as easy. I think the best way is to convert .doc to a .pdf before uploading.

Application post type may be not allowed to set in Front End Submissions.

I think the following setting may help.
Check the “Allow to set THUMBNAIL file itself as featured image” box in the optional settings of PDF Image Generator, and then reselect an image file (not .pdf itself) as a featured image .

If it doesn’t work well, please send a screenshot from my contact form.

I can’t reproduce your problem because not have Front End Submissions.
I think I need to see the source of It. It will help me if you can send me zipped .php files related with the user interface of Front End Submissions.
After I watch them, I will consider whether it is possible.

Hello robb11.

I checked to use PDF Image Generator with EDD. In my server environment, they work well. Try to set your uploaded PDF into the featured image. If you feel insecure to set pdf file directly, you can choose “Allow to set THUMBNAIL file itself as featured image” in the optional settings of PDFIG.

thanks.

I updated 1.3 and add “Attachment Display Settings” when trying to insert PDF.
User can choose image sizes, url and title.

I hope you try it.
Thanks.

Hi, mattegg.
I think there are mainly three ways.

1. Set pdf file as featured image. The plugin allow you to use pdf as image. You just need to call the featured image like below…
echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'medium' );

2. Use custom field plugin like “Advanced Custom Field”. If ACF, Make your filed name and set “File type” to “file” / “Return Value” to “File ID”. Then, you call the ID like below…

$pdf_id = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'My_Field_Name', true ); // set your field name.
if ( $thumbnail_id = get_post_meta( $pdf_id, '_thumbnail_id', true ) ) {
  echo wp_get_attachment_image ( $thumbnail_id, 'medium' );
}

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

$pdfs = get_posts( 'posts_per_page=-1&post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=application/pdf&post_parent='.$post->ID );
if( $pdfs ): foreach( $pdfs as $pdf ):
  $thumbnail_id = get_post_meta( $pdf->ID, '_thumbnail_id', true );
  if( $thumbnail_id ){
    echo wp_get_attachment_image ( $thumbnail_id, 'medium' );
  }
endforeach; endif;

Hope you try them.
Thanks.

I uploaded the plugin to 1.2.1. and add the plugin page in ‘setting.’
You can disable some functions in there.

Thank you.

I uploaded the plugin to 1.2.1. and add the plugin page in ‘setting.’
You can generate thumbnails in there.

I uploaded the plugin to 1.2.1.
From this version, plugin set default link-type to media-file.
It is good for prevent careless miss.

Thank you.

I’m grad you get it.

I may have to change the default setting of the plugin. Because, generally, we don’t need an attachment page link when insert a pdf thumbnail.

Thank you.

Hi Socke.

Is the thumbnail generated and does it replace the default icon?
Did you try different files or diffrent filenames?

If you mean the link is to the attachment page ( ex:https://example.com/?attachment_id=1024) not to the pdf file itself, the problems may be a conflict with another plugin or your custom functions.

Could you tell me [a] and [img] tags that are put out by the editor.

Hi.

I think it’s a possible and useful update.
I’ll incorporate your idea into the future update.

Thank you.

Hi whoaloic.

pigen_change_icon() replaces a mime icon to a thumbnail in media uploader like below.

I guess you mean that pdf icons doesn’t show in the static media library page.
So, I disabled pigen_change_icon only in the library page.

Thanks for good feedback.
Please update the plugin.

Hi stephenpasquini.
Can you give me the fatal error details?
Thanks.

Hi HerveSLT.

I update the plugin to 1.1.5. And it allows you to insert [caption] shortcode into the post content area.

If you want display attachment data with a thumbnail, use img_caption_shortcode filter in your functions.php.
Here’s an example code. Customize it to your needs

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. '<br/>' . // title
'caption : ' .$attr['caption']. '<br/>' .// caption
'size : ' .$bytes. '<br/>' . // file size
'filetype : ' .get_post_mime_type ( $attachment_id ). '<br/>' . // file type
'description : ' .$attachment->post_content. '<br/>'; // 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);

Thanks for offering donation. But not now maybe some another time.
Just because I don’t prepare for it.

Anyway, I’m motivated enough by your words.
Thanks you!
