Maybe also interesting for other readers:</p> <p>1) I've installed a newer plugin "Category Icons Lite"</p> <p>2) Put the code explained on this page (<a href="http://www.category-icons.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.category-icons.com</a>) in the "class-framework-widgets.php"<br /> =&gt; and replaced the echo $image with that line of code</p> <p>Working perfect until now!</p> <p>Greets,<br /> Vanwero </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/brightbox-latest-news-widget-show-other-images-in-thumbnails-then-post-image#post-31616 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 07:50:37 +0000 Dude 31616@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,<br /> if you just replace<br /> <pre><code>echo $image;</code></pre> <p>with your custom icon code I see no reason why this doesn't work - there's no if statement, etc. which can hide the image. The only reason I can think of is that the icon code doesn't work correct or that css code hides the icon. Maybe modify the widget code an post a link here so that we can investigate the output. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/brightbox-latest-news-widget-show-other-images-in-thumbnails-then-post-image#post-31610 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 06:53:43 +0000 wenv 31610@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Maybe... I have to ask another question (because the solution above is a kind of "work-around":</p> <p>When I work with the Brightbox Theme and with the "Category-icons"-plugin, this plugin is working well and gets the selected icon for the posts...</p> <p>But the "Brightbox Latest News"-widget isn't picking the icons up when no image attached to the post...<br /> And I really want to use this latest news plugin because it's look is the most complete for me...</p> <p>Thanks for your reply already!</p> <p>Greets,<br /> Vanwero </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/brightbox-latest-news-widget-show-other-images-in-thumbnails-then-post-image#post-31580 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 23:20:47 +0000 wenv 31580@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi all,</p> <p>I'm using the "Brightbox Latest News"-widget in my sidebar. So far, so good...<br /> But: In the tumbnail-area this widget is showing the image used in the posts. (And if no image is used in the post, the tumbnail is blanc)</p> <p>What I would like to do is the following:</p> <p>Refer to another image to show in this tumbnail-area.<br /> =&gt; Now I'v hard coded it, but this is not the way I like to work.</p> <p>I found the php-file where I need to change this:</p> <p>=&gt; .../Brightbox/framework/php/class-framework-widgets.php</p> <p>=&gt; I've changed: </p> <p>echo title='".get_the_title()."' href='".get_permalink().;<br /> echo "&lt;span class='news-thumb'&gt;";<br /> echo $image;</p> <p>And replaced "the echo $image;" By:</p> <p>echo "Hardcode path of image";</p> <p>This works fine but a few questions about this:</p> <p>A) how can I refer to an image without have to hardcode it? (for example when I use the "Default Post Thumbnail" - Plugin? Can I get this selected picture here with a function?)</p> <p>B) I am using the 'category-icons' - plugin. Is it possible to put here a function to get the icon linked to this post's category? (This would be my ultimate solution!!!!!;-))</p> <p>C) My steps above (hardcoded) are working, but the image is not shown IN the tumbnail border, but right from it. Any ideas how i can put it in the border?</p> <p>Thanks in advance already for your answers!<br /> Vanwero </p>
