This plugin lets you use images to replace the titles of your posts, thus circumventing the problem of guessing what fonts your end-users might have installed.
This is primarily a reworking of the Image Headlines plugin by Brian "ColdForged" Dupuis, so that it would work in WordPress 2.3. Of course, THAT was a reworking of another plugin by Joel Bennett. Anyway, this plugin lets you replace text on your site (titles specifically, but you can actually replace just about anything) with atttractively rendered TrueType Fonts images.
The README file included in the zip archive explains some details of installation, such as permissions for the fonts and cache directories.
If you use this, I'd love to hear about. If you have problems, I'd love to hear those two. Feel free to leave comments here in either case.
Admin Interface
You get a new tab under Presentation called 'TTF Titles.' This has three subtabs: 'Styles,' 'Cache,' and 'Fonts.'
In the 'Styles' tab, you can define different text styles. A style includes the font, size, color, shadow, spacing, etc. The styles you define here will be used in template tags in your theme files.
In the 'Cache' tab, you can set a few particulars about the image cache, basically where it is and how long images last before they expire.
In the 'Fonts' tab, you can install fonts, view those already installed, and delete ones you no longer need.
Template Tags
There are two template tags you can use to actually make the text images show up:
<?php the_ttftitle(before, after, display, style, overrides); ?>
<?php the_ttftext(text, style, overrides); ?>
The tag 'the_ttftitle' can be used to replace 'the_title.' The first three arguments for the_ttftitle are the same as for the_title. The tag 'the_ttftext' can be used to turn any chunk of text into an image.
The 'style' argument should be the name of a style defined in the 'Styles' tab. You can use 'null' for this argument to use the default style.
The 'overrides' argument can be used to override any of the parts of the style. It should look like: name1=val1&name2=val2… The variables you can override are:
| Variable | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| font_name | the name of the font | Warp 1 |
| font_size | the font size to use | 24 |
| font_color | the color of the text | #FF0000 |
| bg_color | the background color | #FFFFFF |
| bg_transparent | make the background transparent? | true |
| bg_image | an image to put in the background | null or a filename |
| indent | indent of the first line | 5 |
| maxwidth | how wide a line can be… 0 for no limit | 500 |
| subindent | indent for subsequent lines | 20 |
| leading | space between lines | 10 |
| effect_type | what kind of shadows? | none, hard_shadow, or soft_shadow |
| soft_shadow_color | the color of the soft shadow | #000000 |
| soft_shadow_spread | how fuzzy the shadow is | 5 |
| soft_shadow_x_offset | horizontal offset of the shadow | 3 |
| soft_shadow_y_offset | vertical offset of the shadow | 3 |
| hard_shadow_color_1 | hard shadow inside color | #FFFFFF |
| hard_shadow_color_2 | hard shadow outside color | #000000 |
| hard_shadow_offset | hard shadow offset | 2 |
Styling the Images
Beyond the 'styles' used by TTF Titles, you might also want to apply some CSS properties to the resulting images. To make this easier, the images are marked as belonging to the class 'ttf'. This was added in 0.1.5, when I realized I wanted to style just the text images and couldn't.
Updates
- 10/18 - 10:04 - Version 0.1.1 released. Added error suppression for when then font does not contain all the characters you need. Also updated README to be clearer when it comes to permissions.
- 10/18 - 10:13 - Version 0.1.2 released. Got rid of some pesky control-Ls in the code. My bad.
- 10/18 - 10:58 - Version 0.1.3 released. Removed call to str_split that was causing problems for some people.
- 10/18 - 17:20 - Version 0.1.4 released. Minor cosmetic change that should make things clearer when defining a new style.
- 10/23 - 19:31 - Version 0.1.5 released. Removed the 'border=0' from the img tags and added style="ttf". Who am I to say they shouldn't have borders? Also, this makes them easier to style in general.
- 10/25 - 17:27 - Version 0.1.6 released. Small change to provide compatibility back to WP 1.5.2.
- 11/13 - 12:01 - Version 0.2 released. Added a 'Usage' tab and the letter_case style feature.
- 11/13 - 07:10 - Version 0.2.1 released. Fixed a really really sloppy bug. My bad!
- 11/13 - 07:58 - Version 0.2.2 released. Fixed an even dumber bug.
- 12/10 - 16:35 - Version 0.4.1 released. Should have been 0.4.0, but I messed up with svn check in. Added contextual help. Fixes a few bugs.
- 12/11 - 07:02 - Version 0.4.2 released. Fixed incompatibility with older PHPs

Hello!
Desperately wanting this to work, since I can't even get the original Headlines plugin to show up, even with the -image error.
When I activated it, I got a bunch of "Warning: Unexpected character input on line…" errors. I deactivated it, and now I'm sad again. I don't understand "chmod a+w". I understand file permissions, "777", etc, but "chmod a+w" has me stumped.
I'd appreciate any help can offer!
October 18th, 2007 at 9:48 am [quote ]
Ah. The 'Unexpected character" warning usually comes when the font you use does not include a character you need. Really annoying, actually. I suppose I should guard the imagettftext calls with '@'.
My personal old habits showed up in the permissions stuff. 777 is what you want. Sorry about that. I'll update the code and readme and have 0.1.1 out in a few.

Actually, it turns out the unexpected character was because (old bad habit from C) I separated code sections with page breaks (control-l). Fixed now.

A suggested fix:
When you go in the admin panel, to change the display characteristics of your chosen font, you have to reload all the info, because it stays at "Warp 1", even if you're not using that font.
I uploaded my own font, and when I click on "edit" the default info that was there is not there. I have to start from scratch.
October 18th, 2007 at 2:39 pm [quote ]
Ah, the problem is that you have to change the name of new styles from '**NEW**' to pretty much anything else. This is clearer in the admin interface now.

This is a wonderful update of Image Headlines. Great job
October 23rd, 2007 at 3:19 am [quote ]
Is it possible to remove the border around the letters. If I choose pink there will be a black border around.?
October 24th, 2007 at 1:28 pm [quote ]
Here's the problem with the border. GIF images only have two levels of transparency (1 bit). Things are either transparent or opaque. PNG images can do up to 256 levels of transparency, which makes it a great solution. The problem with PNG is our old friend Microsoft. Until version 7, Internet Explorer didn't handle PNG transparency correctly and instead put a grungy gray background in place. Ick.
The solution Brian used when he wrote Image Headlines was to have a background color for blending purposes, but allow the option to make the background color itself transparent. Since I was working from is code, I stuck with it.
I'll see if there is a better solution that I could add into the code.
In the meantime, set the ttftitles background color to something close to your site's background and it should look better.

Okay, fair question. I really need to toss together a cookbook for this sort of thing.
In your header.php, there is probably a line something like this:
<h1><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?> rel="nofollow">/"><?php get_bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>You can simply wrap the call to get_bloginfo with a call to the_ttftext like so:
<h1><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ? rel="nofollow">/"><?php the_ttftext(get_bloginfo('name')); ?></a></h1>Additional arguments can be added before the final close parenthesis. For example, if you created a style called 'blogname' just for your "I Shout Love", you could change the line to this:
<h1><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ? rel="nofollow">/"><?php the_ttftext(get_bloginfo('name'), 'blogname'); ?><a></h1>You will probably want to style that image as having no border, since it is inside an anchor tag, btw. I hope this helps.

@ jrrl
Though before the update there was no border at all. Why is it there now?
October 30th, 2007 at 4:47 pm [quote ]
Oh well, okay. So I set this thing to white background to get rid of the borders, and at first it looks alright. But when I check back minutes later the borders are there again. It looks pretty messed up with borders. How do I add the border=0 to the script again. It was better before.
October 30th, 2007 at 4:50 pm [quote ]
BGH Quiz wrote:
Yeah. That'll happen. Here's why:
In the first few releases, the img tag it spits out includes "border=0". As of 0.1.5, I got rid of that and instead marked them as 'class="ttf"'. This way, you can style these images with CSS however you wish, with or without border, etc.
The downside is that you kind of HAVE to style it, since titles are typically inside of anchor tags. I suppose the RIGHT thing to do would have been to have an option for whether to include border=0 and include it by default. Maybe in 0.1.7.
In the meantime, add something like this to your style.css:
img.ttf { border:0;}
Hope this helps!

Just add the following to your style.css:

Do you know of a way to get this to work with widget titles???

jerrydrussell wrote:
Unfortunately, widgets are still new enough that the code isn't peppered with action and filter points like the rest of the code. What that means is that it is hard to have plugins really change them much.
That said… here's what you can do.
The file that contains all the default widget code is BASE/wp-includes/widgets.php. In each widget's code, the title is produced by an expression like this:
$before_title . $title . $after_titleYou can give them prettified titles by changing these to look like this:
$before_title . the_ttftext($title, false) . $after_titleI haven't looked at a lot of third party widgets, so I can't guarantee that the expression will look the same, but it should be pretty similar.
In the future (and I'll propose this officially if I can figure out who to send the proposal to), I'd love to see all of the widgets make some call like
the_widget_titlewhich would then have a filter hook for plugins like this one.Let me know how it works out.
November 1st, 2007 at 8:12 pm [quote ]
If you wanted to use this inline with a post/page you'd have to have a PHP plugin and then call the_ttftext function. It would be better to have a command like [ttf=Convert this Text&style=Style Name] or however that would work. I have a YouTube plugin that works the same way.

Sigh. Not entirely sure. I should be, but I let my Yahoo hosting account expire, so I can't test.
I have two ideas for you. First, if there is already a writable directory, you could use that (or a subdirectory, since you don't want the cache expiration deleting other files). I know there is a tmp directory with Yahoo hosting, but I can't remember if that is visible by URL.
The other idea is to see if you can change the cache directory to be owned by the same user that runs the web server. For example, on my site the web server (and therefore PHP) is run by user 'apache' in the 'apache' group. If you can chown the directory to be owned by that user, then you could get away with a chmod 755.
I'll see what else I can find out. I really should have kept that account up to date.

Hey Jrrl,
I'm mixvio from the Wordpress support forum; I was the one that posted the quick hack to get Image Headlines to work in the latest Wordpress.
I'm trying to switch over to your version and I can't get it to work at all. I'm not sure what to do, but in my site when I try to use this I just get blanks, no title whatsoever.
Is there a "default" piece of code anywhere or not? I can't seem to find anything explaining what I need to paste where the titles go to get it to render properly.
Any help would be appreciated; if possible can you shoot me a message back via email, since I don't know if I'll get an alert when you reply here. Thanks so much!

Easily done, actually, although weird to explain. Basically, you just have to wrap the_date with the_ttftext. So your call that looks like the_date(…) becomes the_ttftext(the_date(…)).
The weirdness comes in that you have to tell the_date not to actually echo the date to your document, but rather just return it to the_ttftext. The fourth argument to the_date does exactly this. If it is false, the value will just be returned. However, since this is the fourth argument, you need to include dummy values for the first three. So, if you just had the_date(), you need to have the_date("","","",false).
Does this help?

You added an "echo=true/false" parameter to the_ttftext but forgot to use it yourself in the "show_fonts_page" functions. That's why BGH is having the problem above.
I added "false" to the commands and voila, it all worked. The same for my own use of that command.

Just looked at new v0.2.1 and you've put "true" instead of "false" in the line above that I mention…that's not right, is it?
Surely you just want to return the text for the existing echo to display. With true, it'll display it instead and the original echo will be pointless.
Also, there's a line further down in the next function with the same glitch. Don't know if its used at all though.

Hey Jrrl,
Another functionality suggestion; is it possible to implement something that lets you change the text alignment in the titles? This was something that was missing from ColdForged's original plugin and something I always wanted.
Like all titles are output left-align. Is there any way to choose right, centered or justified to the user-defined maximum width? (justification would be AWESOME)
Thanks!

Thank you very much for updating the plugin that fast. I know, GIF-transparency sometimes looks bad, and I also prefer PNGs, though some older versions of IE can't handle PNGs. Instead of transparency you get a white background with some IE-versions. But I'll use PNGs now, and my readers should check out Firefox finally. LOL

If there is not a directory there call cache, you could create one. In either case, you need to make it so that web server can write to it, which usually means 'chmod 777' as you say.

I checked the TTF Title interface and it still shows all my custom styles in the control panel. I even tried opening each one and saving, thinking that might "reset" something, but… no go.
I'm not sure why it's reverting everything to the default. I've done nothing but upgrade.
Thanks!

I bet you're using the_ttftext, right? I did a big no-no and changed the arguments, adding a new one in the middle. Mea cupla. I won't do it again. I almost didn't do it this time, but I really wanted the function to mirror the_title.
See the new 'usage' tab. Sorry!

Thanks for responding.
I did read that, but to be honest, I'm not sure what that means for me. What am I supposed to change? lol I'm not much of a php chick.

i found it doesn't support asian fonts.
for me when a font name is korean, the_ttftitle shows error message, "Font "BROKEN-FONT-NAME" was not found."

Hrm. I know a few sites are successfully using it with Asian fonts. Without more information, though, I'm not sure how to help you. You might try a different font to see if it is a problem specific to that font. I'd be interested in hearing more in any case to see if I can make it work.

Great plugin! I've gotten it working perfectly for titles, but am having problems applying to my sidebar. I'm using the widgets and can't figure out where to iinclude the the__ttf tag (specifically, I'm trying to apply it to the category heading, tag title, etc). Not really a problem with the widget, but if you have suggestions they'd be appreciated

v1.0 will/should provide a way to use it in a page/post easily. Just not ready yet.
Also, planning a 'cookbook' page that will give usage examples.

Widgets are a problem, I'm afraid. See comment #34 for some notes on this. I hope to come up with a solution at some point.

Hi, I think this is a great idea and I've downloaded, and uploaded, but I can't seem to get my own fonts on. I;ve uploaded them and it says they have been added to the font directory but they don't show anywhere. I have chmod'ed all the directories etc and it still won't show up. I've checked in file manager and they are in the right folders, but nada? help please. I really wanna use this cool tool. thanks
