News Ticker Post Image

Hi, you are free to modify the plugin as you like, but I can’t support you with it.

If you want to add a thumbnail to the marquee, I would suggest you edit the file pj-news-ticker.php, look for the the code where it renders the title and the link, and add your thumbnail there. Probably use the function get_the_post_thumbnail($post).

Good luck.

Hey thanks for your fast response. I did not have much skills so i cannot do this ?? can you please help me?

Hi,

Go to your website, look in the folder: wp-content/plugins/pj-news-ticker and edit the file pj-news-ticker.php

At around line 170 you can add this code to include the post thumbnail:

if (has_post_thumbnail($post)) {
	$content .= '<img width="100" src="'.get_the_post_thumbnail_url($post).'">';
}

You can change width=’100″ to whatever size you like.

The whole block should look something like this:

$content .= '<span class="pjnt-item">';
$content .= '<a target="'.$options['target'].'" href="'.get_permalink($post).'">'.get_the_title($post);
if (has_post_thumbnail($post)) {
	$content .= '<img width="100" src="'.get_the_post_thumbnail_url($post).'">';
}
if ($options['show_excerpt'] == 'true') {
	$content .= ' - '.get_the_excerpt($post);
}
$content .= '</a>';
$content .= '</span>';

This is not something I want to include officially, as I don’t think it looks good. I think the marquee should be text only. But you are free to modify your own copy as you like. This should get you what you want.

Good luck.

Cheers,
Paul
