You have to add the following code to the functions.php file to make use of WordPress thumbnail images. <pre><code>/* Activate native WordPress Post Thumbnails */ if ( function_exists( 'add_theme_support' ) ) { add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' ); }</code></pre> Dude on "Latest Posts In Specific Category" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/latest-posts-in-specific-category#post-35668 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 16:49:22 +0000 Dude 35668@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Glad that Chris could help you :) ptvguy on "Latest Posts In Specific Category" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/latest-posts-in-specific-category#post-35622 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 05:19:25 +0000 ptvguy 35622@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Thanks, I always forget about backticks.

Thanks for sharing, I'll tell Kriesi about this :) ptvguy on "Latest Posts In Specific Category" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/latest-posts-in-specific-category#post-35468 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 02:11:26 +0000 ptvguy 35468@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Apparently, that code just won't display here. I've uploaded it to <a href="http://wwwtest.soptv.org/code.txt">here</a>. Maybe some admin can get it to post correctly. ptvguy on "Latest Posts In Specific Category" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/latest-posts-in-specific-category#post-35466 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 01:38:38 +0000 ptvguy 35466@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ For some reason, part of the code was stripped from that comment. I'll try it again. <code> <?php global $post; $args = array( 'numberposts' => 1, 'offset' => 0, 'category' => 4 ); $myposts = get_posts( $args ); foreach( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata($post); ?> [box type="alert"]<a>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>[/box] <?php if ( has_post_thumbnail()) : ?> <a>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>" > <?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail', array('class' => 'alignleft')); ?> </a> <?php endif; ?> <?php the_excerpt(); ?> <?php endforeach; ?> </code> ptvguy on "Latest Posts In Specific Category" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/latest-posts-in-specific-category#post-35464 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 01:32:48 +0000 ptvguy 35464@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ I'm using the following code to pull the latest posts from the "Announcements" category into a slider on <a href="http://wwwtest.soptv.org/">the homepage I'm setting up</a>. A zero offset gets the latest post and a one gets the second latest and so on. <code> <?php global $post; $args = array( 'numberposts' => 1, 'offset' => 0, 'category' => 4 ); $myposts = get_posts( $args ); foreach( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata($post); ?> <h3><a>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3> <?php if ( has_post_thumbnail()) : ?> <a>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>" > <?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail', array('class' => 'alignleft')); ?> </a> <?php endif; ?> <?php the_excerpt(); ?> <?php endforeach; ?> </code> The problem is that doing it this way requires the EXEC-PHP plugin. It seems to me that something this basic would make a great shortcode to add to the Avia Framework. Just a thought.
