Contributors: LeoGermani, PedroGermani

Add a nice looking animated highlights box to you theme, and lets you highlight your posts

Installation

. Download the package
. Extract it to the “plugins” folder of your wordpress
. In the Admin Panes go to “Plugins” and activate it

Usage

Place the following code where you want the highlights to appear on your theme:

<?php if(function_exists(“insert_post_highlights”)) insert_post_highlights(); ?>

To highlight a post go to Manage > Posts and check the checkbox under the Highlight column

Go to Settings > Post Highlights to change some options, such as delay time and the button color.

Post Highlights comes with 7 pre-defined sizes. You can easily create a new one from the .FLA file available at the plugin’s home page.

1. Download the source file here
2. Read and follow the instructions inside the .FLA
3. create a new swf and name it with the width and height (eg: posthighlights300×300.swf)
4. Save the swf in the plugin folder and it will be available as an option in the Settings page.
