How Do You Do This With Wordpress???

Hello DP,

Does anyone know how to insert thumbnail pics into your category pages? The page that I am working on looks like this with no pics:

http://watchbunch.com/category/brand/bulova/

but I'd like it to have thumbnails of the images used on the actual post in front of each entry. Right now I am using flickr to host the pics. Any help would be great. Thanks.

I am sure that there is a plug in for that, but you will have to search.
You can also thumbnail each post, with a different plug in.

 

The new Revolution themes have this built-in. I'm not entirely sure how he did it, but you enter the path to the thumbnail of each post via the "custom fields" at the bottom of the screen.

this is the code involved on the theme:

				<div class="thumbleft">
					<img src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "Thumbnail", true); ?>" alt="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "Theme Name", true); ?> Thumbnail" />
				</div>

Code (markup):

and the CSS:

.thumbleft {
	float: left;
	width: 70px;
	margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
	padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
	border: medium rgb(207,207,207);
	}

Code (markup):

Of course, I'm guessing something else is present to make this all work, so this wont work if you simply paste it into your site (?)

 

Yeah, the theme I am using also has that built into it, as well as gravitar support for comments, and featured article photos with excerpts.
You can find plug ins for all of that, but it is seamless when it is built into the template.

 

Are there any existing themes with these features built in?

 

I don't know about category images, but many of the Magazine Style, paid themes, have post images, featured images, and Gravatar support built in. Just search Word Press, Magazine Themes.

 

There is a plugin; I did the translation to dutch for it. I'm using it on my Office, XP and Vista Tips and Tricks Blog. I'm sure you'll like it
