How to use the [dco_ca] shortcode?

Without attributes specified, the [dco_ca] shortcode will display all attachments attached to current post.

You can filter attachments using the type attribute. By default it is all. Also supported: image, video, audio and misc.
You can specify one value [dco_ca type="image"] or multiple values, separated by commas [dco_ca type="video,audio"].

You can also display attachments from the comments of another post using the post_id attribute.
For example, [dco_ca post_id="45"], where 45 is the ID of the specific post.

You can also combine these attributes. For example, [dco_ca post_id="45" type="image"] will display all images attached to comments to the post with ID 45.

This is an awesome plugin. I’ve been looking for something like this a long time. I hope the author Denis will keep update this plugin and won’t abandon like others after a while. Just wondering, for some reason I have to disable your plugin, all the Youtube links and image attachements will be turned off too?

Excelente plugin, lo he encontrado demasiado últil

Muy útil el plugin, esperemos que no abandonen el proyecto. Salvo el detalle de los links de twitter y Facebook que no se incrustan, lo demás funciona perfecto.
