I did have a question though. I’m using the Arras Theme. I’ve been successful at making a post and having a thumbnail of that post show up on the main page in the galleries.

But what i can figure out is how to make it so that the thumbnail Only shows up in the main page, but not show up in the individual post?

Please help.

Thanks!

function showThumb() {
global $post, $posts;
$idPost = $post->ID;
ob_start();
ob_end_clean();
//$images = get_children(‘numberposts=1&post_parent=’.$idPost.’&post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=image’);

$images = get_children( array(
‘post_parent’ => $idPost,
‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’,
‘post_mime_type’ => ‘image’,
‘orderby’ => ‘menu_order ASC, ID’,
‘order’ => ‘ASC’)
);

if ($images) {
$images_data = array_keys($images);
$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src($images_data[0], ‘thumbnail’);
$thumb = $image[0];
} else {
$thumb = bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’).”/images/thumb_default.jpg”;
}
return $thumb;
}

Ir works like this: First creates an array with all the attachments of your posts, orders it by position and retrieves de first one, so the first image in your post (your can set up the position when you add the picture, like when you create a galley) Now, if there are no attachments, then it returns the default thumb’s url.
The only thing you got to do now is place inside The Loop, and it will retrieve the thumbnail url. So you dont need to set up custom fields or anything like that.

But anyway, wordpress should really work something about this in some upcoming release.
