[Plugin: Multiple Post Thumbnails] Get the caption of the secondary thumbnail

I’d also like to know how to do this, It’s a vital feature for me. I can’t find any reference to it in the readme or plugin page.

OK I found a way of doing this here:

<?
$second_thumbnail_id = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), "work_second-image_thumbnail_id", false);
$second_id = $second_thumbnail_id[0];

// The thumbnail caption:
echo get_post($second_id)->post_excerpt;
?>

I just had to change Change “page_second-image_thumbnail_id” to “work_second-image_thumbnail_id” which is the name of my post_type.

I hope this helps people out.

On another note it would be great if there was a way of making WordPress convert line breaks entered into the caption into
tags, instead of manually adding
tags at the end of each line in the caption. I guess that’s another topic though.
