Thumbnail question display category

evdz, unfortunately, there isn’t a quick solution to either questions. Both would require big changes to the code.

1. For this edit top-10.php to use get_the_category function to pull the category.
Alternatively use the $categories variable that has been set.
Lines 247-268 would be where you modify the code.

2. Line 639 would be where you can edit this to amend the line:
$postimage = get_post_meta($result->ID, $thumb_meta, true);

to something like:

$postimage = 'https://www.whateveryoulike.com/'.get_post_meta($result->ID, $thumb_meta, true).'.jpg';

Thanks Ajay,

Too bad I had to go into the actual plugin to hardcode my changes.. I wont be able to update the plugin that easily anymore with future upgrades..

However I did manage to get it working (about) the way I wanted using your suggestions!

The result: https://www.judovision.org/weekly-top-10

Thanks again for your help!

evdz, do you want to shoot the code across to me? Am at me AT ajaydsouza DOT com

In the next version, I plan on creating a function that just returns the top posts in an array of post IDs.

After that you can use this function to do whatever you want in your template. It’s a feature for power users who want to totally customise the display and are familiar with PHP and WordPress files.
