Wordpress Automatic Post Image

November 28th, 2009

I’m looking for a fast and talented coder who can create an Wordpress plugin capable of automatically adding/inserting images to a Wordpress post the moment it is created. This includes all the posts created through Wordpress editor or those published through xmlrpc

The plugin would have to sit there as a guardian, and whenever a new post is added, it would use the post’s title to search and retrieve an image from the following sources:
1) Flickr.
2) Google Images.
3) Random image from a predetermined folder on local disk.
4) A random image from Flickr: Creative Commons with “Attribution License”.

It would then retrieve and copy the image to Wordpress’ upload folder and add the corresponding thumbnail to the post.

Special precautions should be taken so images are not added twice to a post in case it is edited in the future or it has a publishing date set in the future.

The plugin should be something similar (an improved version) of this freely available plugin:
Autoflickr
