thumbnails in recent posts
I'm over my head. Using latest Atahualpa and WordPress. What's the easiest way to get thumbnails to appear under or beside headlines in a "recent posts" column? I need also to control that "recent posts" would begin after 6 or 7 full posts in the main column. I've messed around / messed up with various plugins already:
Here's what I'm working on: http://www.squaredealdesign.com/wordpress/ So far I'm left with an image title below posts with images, but no image. It's the closest I've gotten! This is with thumbnails-for-excerpts, and recent-posts plugins. I suspect I'm messing up the configurations, but for the life of me I'm stumped! already tried: wp-post-thumbnail, wp-choose-thumb, visual-recent-posts, too.... Newsflash: there seems to be some directory issues with the thumbnails-- I get this message in "Excerpt View:" Warning: imagecreatefromjpeg(/home/content/j/i/m/jimkend/html/wordpress/wp-admin/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/sanford.jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/j/i/m/jimkend/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/thumbnail-for-excerpts/thumbnailforexcerpts.php on line 129 Anyone know how to solve this?

wordpress/wp-admin/wp-content
It's looking into a wrong, non-existant directory for the image, because wp-admin/ is being added to the image file path. |
thanks for your reply!
I finally found a solution myself, though: in the "Recent Posts" plugin controls under settings>recent posts>output template> type in: <li>{image:0:260:?}{link}</li> "260"px is my column width, and "?" just makes the height scale to whatever. Who knows why the "0" is there, but it works. Now I just have to find a way for the center column to stop after 7 or so articles. Jim |
