I have lost just a day with that :)) Next time I should pay more attention to simple things, like setting the image as featured. Thank you again for your support. I wish you a great day! helgatheviking on "Add Thumbnail to Shortened Post" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/add-thumbnail-to-shortened-post#post-26151 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 04:14:06 +0000 helgatheviking 26151@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ that all looks good. props for searching the forum to find the appropriate answers. assuming that you have selected a featured image, thematic's default mode is to display a thumbnail anywhere there is an excerpt. this behavior can be disabled by targeting the following filter: <code>apply_filters( 'thematic_post_thumbs', TRUE)</code> you can see it is TRUE by default. possible reasons you might not be seeing a thumbnail include filter thematic_post_thumbs to FALSE, not having a featured image set, hiding the featured image with CSS for some reason, or a plugin could be interfering (a bit of a long shot there, but who knows) bogh on "Add Thumbnail to Shortened Post" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/add-thumbnail-to-shortened-post#post-26145 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 12:14:23 +0000 bogh 26145@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Hi, please help me with this one. I have found the following code to shorten the excerpts on home page; but if a post has a thumb, the thumb does not show up on home page excerpts. Please someone tell me how I can make the thumbs show up on the following code. What code should I add, and where? <pre><code>//Shorten the Posts on Home Page and ADD Read More Link function childtheme_content($content) { if (is_home() || is_front_page()) { $content= 'excerpt'; } return $content; } add_filter('thematic_content', 'childtheme_content'); function excerpt_ellipse($text) { return str_replace('[...]', ' <a href="'.get_permalink().'">Read more</a>', $text); } add_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'excerpt_ellipse'); function new_excerpt_length($length) { return 20; } add_filter('excerpt_length', 'new_excerpt_length');</code></pre> Thank you a lot. bogh on "Shorten Post Title" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/shorten-post-title#post-25902 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 09:50:07 +0000 bogh 25902@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Thank you, I have override the thematic_postheader_posttitle() with childtheme_override_postheader_posttitle() and it worked. So in case someone needs that I have added the code below. <pre><code>//Shorten Post Titles on Home Page function ShortenPostTitle($text) { // Function name ShortenText $chars_limit = 50; // Character length $chars_text = strlen($text); $text = $text." "; $text = substr($text,0,$chars_limit); $text = substr($text,0,strrpos($text,' ')); if ($chars_text > $chars_limit) { $text = $text."..."; } // Ellipsis return $text; } function childtheme_override_postheader_posttitle() { if (is_single() || is_page(home)) { $posttitle = '<h1 class="entry-title">' . get_the_title() . "</h1>\n"; } elseif (is_404()) { $posttitle = '<h1 class="entry-title">' . __('Not Found', 'thematic') . "</h1>\n"; } else { $posttitle = '<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="'; $posttitle .= apply_filters('the_permalink', get_permalink()); $posttitle .= '" title="'; $posttitle .= __('Permalink to ', 'thematic') . the_title_attribute('echo=0'); $posttitle .= '" rel="bookmark">'; $posttitle .= ShortenPostTitle(get_the_title()); $posttitle .= "</a></h2>\n"; } return apply_filters('childtheme_override_postheader_posttitle',$posttitle); }</code></pre> helgatheviking on "Shorten Post Title" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/shorten-post-title#post-25893 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 16:11:01 +0000 helgatheviking 25893@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ either override or filter thematic_postheader_posttitle() bogh on "Shorten Post Title" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/shorten-post-title#post-25888 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 08:55:22 +0000 bogh 25888@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Hi, I need to shorten the post titles on home page. Is there an easy way to do it in a Thematic Child Theme? I have found this tutorial: <a href="http://www.doc4design.com/articles/wordpress-5ways-shorten-titles/" rel="nofollow">http://www.doc4design.com/articles/wordpress-5ways-shorten-titles/</a> but I don't know how to use it in Thematic Child Themes. Thank you!
