Instead of a hardcoded string you can then set the output as $preview_image. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-default-featured-image-and-post-thumbnail-migration#post-23901 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 10:04:46 +0000 mpforce 23901@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi Dude, thanks for the snippet. </p> <p>I haven't tested your alteration yet, just to be clear - it would help with the default image, but how is it going to populate the thumb on the index page from an image from the post?</p> <p>Sample:</p> <p>I create a post, add title, in the content text + 2 images. The first image to be visible instead of the post thumb (not to populate two fields).</p> <p>I suppose I could write an action on addition or filter on preview, it would probably be easier? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-default-featured-image-and-post-thumbnail-migration#post-23889 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 05:54:28 +0000 Dude 23889@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,<br /> I'd replace following code in index.php:<br /> <pre><code>$preview_image = kriesi_post_thumb($post-&gt;ID, array(&#39;size&#39;=&gt; array($kimg[&#39;shortcut&#39;],$kimg[&#39;overwrite&#39;]), &#39;display_link&#39; =&gt; array(&#39;none&#39;), &#39;wh&#39; =&gt; $k_option[&#39;custom&#39;][&#39;imgSize&#39;][$kimg[&#39;shortcut&#39;]] ));</code></pre> <p>with:<br /> <pre><code>$preview_image = kriesi_post_thumb($post-&gt;ID, array(&#39;size&#39;=&gt; array($kimg[&#39;shortcut&#39;],$kimg[&#39;overwrite&#39;]), &#39;display_link&#39; =&gt; array(&#39;none&#39;), &#39;wh&#39; =&gt; $k_option[&#39;custom&#39;][&#39;imgSize&#39;][$kimg[&#39;shortcut&#39;]] )); if(empty($preview_image)) { $preview_image = &#39;&lt;img src=&quot;http://your.image&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;700&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&#39;; }</code></pre> <p>and instead of <a href="http://your.image" rel="nofollow">http://your.image</a> fill in your fallback image. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-default-featured-image-and-post-thumbnail-migration#post-23873 Sun, 31 Jul 2011 15:52:44 +0000 mpforce 23873@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>OK I figured the featured question as I could feature only a given category. But the question for listing blogs without the images inside stays active.</p> <p>Any tips for that? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-default-featured-image-and-post-thumbnail-migration#post-23872 Sun, 31 Jul 2011 15:45:12 +0000 mpforce 23872@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi there, </p> <p>A client of mine owns a website with 1300 posts and we bought Newscast for him and installed as well. However his out layout had post thumbnails on the home page listed from the first image added in the post. Now, in order for him to work OK, he has to:</p> <p>1) Create a post<br /> 2) Add images to a post<br /> 3) Add featured image for the slider to work<br /> 4) Add post thumbnail for the images to be visible on home page</p> <p>Is there any easy way adding a post to populate header slider + index home page? Also this preloader when image is not available would rather be default image, it's annoying when it is animated gif or something.</p> <p>Also, as this is an old blog, is there a way (script) to drive all the 1300 posts through that process and assign the images in the post as post thumbnails and featured posts? </p>
