Usage: Put the image you where you want the effect between the polaroid tag. The default tag is {polaroid}, but this can be adjusted in the backend. The path is the relative path from the images folder.
Example: {polaroid param="value"}stories/logo.jpg{/polaroid}.
Supported parameters are: alt, title, width, height, rotation, bordercolor, borderwidth, shadowcolor and shadowopacity.
Backend parameters: Tag: The tag you use for images where you want the effect (default=polaroid).
This plugin is excellent. With very little effort you can create beautiful polaroid effects. Installing is a breeze: install it, and activate it. Takes less than 2 minutes.
I rate this extension 4 stars, for one simple reason: we site builders tinker a lot with code. The ordinary users as littles as possible.
If the developer can add 2 features, I would rate it as perfect:
1- add a radio button to align the polaroid left or right of the text. I can solve it by placing the whole content in a 2 cell table, or add a . But that makes it more difficult to use for somebody who hates any form of coding.
2- The parameters could work the same way. Most are pretty straight forward. All the user has to do is fill in the desired parameter.
Those are just suggestions from me. Apart from that, this plug in is really good. My compliments to the developer!

I love Ulti Polaroid, but i wish to put a link in a photo yo show it in a lightbox, can i do that?
Owner's reply
Yes, I think it should be possible to create a link. If you want it in a lightbox, then you'll need second extension to do that. This might make it a little tricky. BTW. it's better to ask support questions on the support forum of the owner's website ;-)
Nice extension.. the plugin is very easy to install and has good parameters which can be plugged straight into the article with Syntax.. the feedback below is not fair.. this extension does exactly what it is suppose to..
I've been trying to using this for a while, at overall it was good but unfortunately I noticed Ultipolaroid is incompatible with Opera :(
well, just hope the author willing to fix it on the next release.

The latest version is compatible with Opera. If you still notice problems with Opera, please let know through our contact page of forum which Opera version gives problems
It's very useful and nice! It works fine out of the box. I really miss only two features:
1) A parameter to align the image (float left or right from the text)
2) A button below the WYSIWYG editor to easy include the image (like the one used by joomla, "image button")
Other than this, it's a really good plugin!
