Featured image

The featured image needs to be manually selected right now.

Hi Greg

Could I desperately request this be added?! Have a featured image automatically set based on the first image uploaded/shown in the slider on the ad.

I’ve discovered the excellent Essential Grids plugin and would love to build a grid for my homepage showing the most recent ads. It can pull in the custom post type of classified and even lets me choose the advert categories I want pumped in to the grid. The trouble is the grid looks rubbish as it has no images, as the plugin looks for the featured image and failing that the first image in the post it can find. It is not able to find any image at present.

Please can you add this?!

Regards

Robin

PS Thanks for the update, the recently posted ad widget is great. No chance of a small photo being added to that widget for each ad displayed?

Hi, i am afraid i am not really planning to create such add-on all users need to select manually n image they would like to use as featured, otherwise this would cause some unpredictable behavior.

That being said, when i will get back from trip i will see if i can create some code snippet that would select featured image (i will update this thread if i will be able to develop it).

The miniature images will be added to the widget in one of next widget iterations.

Thanks Greg. Ill keep a hopeful eye on this thread.

Hi Greg, just bumping this to see if you think you’ll be able to find the time for that code snippet?

Many thanks
