[Plugin: WP Photo Album Plus] get cover images for 8 latest albums

There is no fuction reference, but i am very willing to help you.

try this:

global $wpdb, $wppa;
$cover_image_urls = false;
if (is_array($wppa)) { // wppa active
 $albums = $wpdb->get_results($wpdb->prepare("SELECT * FROM ".WPPA_ALBUMS." ORDER BY timestamp DESC LIMIT 8"));
 if ($albums) { // Yes found some
  foreach ($albums as $album) {
   $cover_image_urls[] = wppa_get_thumb_url_by_id(wppa_get_coverphoto_id($album['id']));
}}}

Now you have an array $cover_image_urls with the urls to the thumbnails of the most recently added albums.
If you want the fullsize images, filter the urls with: str_replace('/thumb/', '/', $url) where $url is an url from the array.

Sorry, made an error in the code above.

$albums = $wpdb->get_results($wpdb->prepare("SELECT * FROM ".WPPA_ALBUMS." ORDER BY timestamp DESC LIMIT 8"));

should read:

$albums = $wpdb->get_results($wpdb->prepare("SELECT * FROM ".WPPA_ALBUMS." ORDER BY timestamp DESC LIMIT 8"), 'ARRAY_A');

forgot the , ARRAY_A’

thanks ??
