I'm trying to pull the most recent post title and post image thumb from 5 categories (out of ~20) in a specific order. This list is in addition to another loop on the page (the main loop), or the single post/page.
I need to pull the image thumbnail from that post, but NOT using any special fields (ala get-the-image plugin).
Here is what I have so far (starting with 4):
// Cat 1307
echo '<li id="hcol4" class="header-post">';
$posts_hcol4 = get_posts( "category=1307&numberposts=1" );
if( $posts_hcol4 ) {
foreach( $posts_hcol4 as $post_n4 ) {
setup_postdata( $post_n4 );
echo '<a href="';
echo (get_permalink($post_n4->ID));
echo '" title="Permanent Link to ';
echo (get_the_title($post_n4->ID));
echo '">' ;
echo (get_the_title($post_n4->ID));
echo '';
}
}
echo '';
// Cat 1303
echo '<li id="hcol5" class="header-post">';
$posts_hcol5 = get_posts( "category=1303&numberposts=1" );
if( $posts_hcol5 ) {
foreach( $posts_hcol5 as $post_n5 ) {
setup_postdata( $post_n5 );
/*print get_the_image(array('custom_key' => array('post_image_value'), 'default_size' => 'thumbnail', 'image_scan' => true, 'default_image' => get_bloginfo( 'template_url' ) . '/files/2009/11/sample.jpg', 'width' => '120', 'height' => '100', 'post_id' => $post_n5->ID));*/
echo '<a href="';
echo (get_permalink($post_n5->ID));
echo '" title="Permanent Link to ';
echo (get_the_title($post_n5->ID));
echo '">' ;
echo (get_the_title($post_n5->ID));
echo '';
}
}
echo '';
Unfortunately the image is using the Global post variable. If I set the variable (post_id) only the first set works, all others use that same variable. It also seems like I should be able to do this with one query...
I'm using the most recent version of thematic and a variation of thematicfeaturesite.
Any ideas?
