Add credit to the thumbnail

Add the credit to the image from thumbnail (the featured image) that reappears at the top of the actual post.

Hi, we'd like to automatically show the image credit on (or just below) the post's featured image, just as here: http://prntscr.com/a759en or here: http://prntscr.com/a6ma3l how can we accomplish that?

I can look into this.

A few questions: should the credit be just the Author/Owner field on the image or a combination of the fields, like: author/owner, source, publisher?

From the screenshot it looks like maybe just the author and the publisher?

Additionally, does this feature need to have an option to choose above/below the photo for this information? If we go down that path, we'd probably need to add a color setting so that if it's over the photo the text is visible, if it's light or dark.

Let me know about the question above and I can modify to pull in the other data, if needed.

Hi @Jaace - thank you for your support & contribution.
We need to use Copyright format while rendering image caption texts on the websites. As the Copyright format is defined by user, he is free to choose any of available placeholders (e.g. %author%, %license%, %ident_nr%, etc.).

Absolutely, I can look into that this weekend!

@r-brown I've pushed up changes to address the use of the copyright format field. The PR has been updated here: #27

Thanks!

Additional fine-tunings:

• move logic to the credit-tracker-shortcodes.php
• add the switch to allow enable disable thumbnail credit rendering (default: true)
• fix error due to the missing thumbnail image
