Pinterest button vs. Avia Framework?

Apologizes if my understanding of the theme is way off but I *think* I had a small problem getting piece of code for a Pinterest.com button to work because the theme doesn't use traditional WP "featured images".

The slice of code in question is:
<?php $pinterestimage = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'full' ); ?>

But it never pulls anything. Is it because of the theme-specific (or is it the Avia framework-specific?) way the post images are handled? I think it is looking for a call the theme never populates.

What (if any) would be the Flashlight version of that piece of code?

Thanks!

Hey,
you can use the code I posted in this thread: http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/make-images-of-galleries-appear-in-rss-readers#post-32903 - in this case it would look like:

global $post;
$id = avia_post_meta($post->post_id, 'gallery_image');
$size = "full";
$returnvalue = 'url';
global $avia_config;

		if(!$id)
		{
			$attachment_holder = avia_get_post_by_title( "avia_smart-default-gallery");
		}
		else
		{
			$attachment_holder = avia_get_post_by_title( "avia_smart-gallery-of-post-".$id);
		}

			if(empty($attachment_holder['ID'])) return;

		$attachments = get_children(array('post_parent' => $attachment_holder['ID'],
                        'post_status' => 'inherit',
                        'post_type' => 'attachment',
                        'post_mime_type' => 'image',
                        'order' => 'ASC',
                        'orderby' => 'menu_order ID'));

        if (!empty($attachments)){
			foreach($attachments as $key => $attachment)
			{
				$image_url_array[] = avia_image_by_id($attachment->ID, $avia_config['imgSize'][$size], $returnvalue);
			}
		}

	    $postimage = "";

         if (!empty($image_url_array)){
		foreach($image_url_array as $url)
		{
			$postimage .= "<img src='$url' alt='feed image' title='feed image' />";
		}
         }

		$pinterestimage = $postimage;

Wow, that's a lot of code to replace one line! :)

I could not get it to work however. I'm putting it in the "if is single" portion of my loop-index but the results are the same, the media parameter is still empty.

This is the pinterest code in full:

<?php $pinterestimage = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'full' ); ?> <X href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=<?php echo urlencode(get_permalink($post->ID)); ?>&media=<?php echo $pinterestimage[0]; ?>&description=<?php the_title(); ?>" class="pin-it-button" count-layout="vertical">Pin It</X>

Again, the URL and Description are working but the media isn't. Any ideas?

Since the theme doesn't have a featured image in posts, I'd be happy to just grab the first for this.

Edit: Turned A tag to X because the forums were rendering it as link.

I think the problem is the post id then - do you get any output if you use following code:
```
global $post;
echo $post->post_id;
```

Do you mean adding "echo $post->post_id;" below the first line of your original code block? (If so, no difference)

Ok, use the code I posted above an then try to replace:
```
global $post;
$id = avia_post_meta($post->post_id, 'gallery_image');
```
with:
```
$id = avia_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'gallery_image');
```
This should return the current post/page id.
