How to get two thumbnails sizes in a custom loop ?

You should be able to use the wp_query global within the post loop, so in-turn you can check the current_post property against the post_count. Therefore if current_post == post_count, you’re on the last post.

Thank you very much, it works !
Unfortunately, I just notice <?php $postclass = (‘regular’); ?> removes the category class for each post… There is no more category because the post class is like “regular” or “featured”.
And I used category classes to get style with CSS for each kind of post. (.category-news, videos, etc).
PHP will kill me.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your time & help !

I use this to create different image sizes for use on my site:

functions.php usage:
add_image_size('small-thumb', 100, 100, true);

theme usage:

post_thumbnail('small-thumb');
post_thumbnail('large-thumb');

Hi,

Thank you for your answer.
In fact, I already have a function for 3 thumbnail sizes in the function.php file.
But I don’t know how to use them in the loop, to get the first one bigger than the other.

Thanks a lot for your help,

Ben

<?php the_post_thumbnail('small-thumb'); ?>

First make the size in functions. Then, whatever you named the size, use that in your theme. Then reupload the images, cause wp creates the additional sizes upon upload i believe so earlier images don’t count.

It’s OK for the thumbnail sizes, but how to create two differents sizes of posts ?
For information, I have no problem with CSS, I am just lost in the PHP ??

I guess I have to create 2 sorts of posts in my loop. I just want to create a very simple grid like that, for example : :
The first one 100% wide, then 2 posts, then one, then 2, etc.

Here is my basic loop :

<?php if (have_posts()): while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

	<!-- article -->
	<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>

		<!-- post thumbnail -->
		<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail()) : // Check if thumbnail exists ?>
			<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
				<?php the_post_thumbnail(array(120,120)); // Declare pixel size you need inside the array ?>
			</a>
		<?php endif; ?>
		<!-- /post thumbnail -->

		<!-- post title -->
		<h2>
			<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
		</h2>
		<!-- /post title -->

		<!-- post details -->
		<span class="date"><?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?> <?php the_time('g:i a'); ?></span>
		<span class="author"><?php _e( 'Published by', 'html5blank' ); ?> <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?></span>
		<span class="comments"><?php if (comments_open( get_the_ID() ) ) comments_popup_link( __( 'Leave your thoughts', 'html5blank' ), __( '1 Comment', 'html5blank' ), __( '% Comments', 'html5blank' )); ?></span>
		<!-- /post details -->

		<?php html5wp_excerpt('html5wp_index'); // Build your custom callback length in functions.php ?>

		<?php edit_post_link(); ?>

	</article>
	<!-- /article -->

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php else: ?>

	<!-- article -->
	<article>
		<h2><?php _e( 'Sorry, nothing to display.', 'html5blank' ); ?></h2>
	</article>
	<!-- /article -->

<?php endif; ?>

And I don’t understand how to write a loop getting two sizes of posts, like the example below !

Thanks a lot for your help, my PHP comprehension is getting better thanks to you.
