yeah i knew it would need tinkering with i was just expecting it to be a little bit easier than this as it sounds like a relatively simple thing to do!

at the moment i am using the following code:

<?php if(have_posts()) : ?>
      	<?php $odd_or_even = 'odd'; ?>
      	<?php
	$recentPosts = new WP_Query();
	$recentPosts->query('cat=3&showposts=5');
	$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; query_posts("cat=3&paged=$paged");
				/*query_posts(array('post__in'=>get_option('sticky_posts')));*/
	 while (have_posts()) : the_post();
	?>

<?php $odd_or_even = ('odd'==$odd_or_even) ? 'even' : 'odd'; ?>
rest of loop

so i am not sure how i could integrate you’re code into that.. it seems i am going to need a loop to display only sticky posts then a loop to display no sticky posts all the while keeping the even and odd switch working??

love the use of the word automagically, not sure if it was a typo but it works!

i’ll give it a whirl and let you know how i get on with it!

my fault.. i hadnt realised i had spelt the case of thumbnail wrong.. for anybody else wishing to solve it

add_filter("manage_edit-product_columns", "prod_edit_columns");
	add_action("manage_posts_custom_column",  "prod_custom_columns");

	function prod_edit_columns($columns){
			$columns = array(
				"cb" => "<input type=\"checkbox\" />",
				"title" => "Product Title",
				"description" => "Description",
				"thumbnail" => "Thumbnail",
			);

			return $columns;
	}

	function prod_custom_columns($column){
			global $post;
			switch ($column)
			{
				case "description":
					the_excerpt();
					break;

				case "thumbnail":
				echo the_post_thumbnail('small-post-thumbnail');
				break;

			}
	}

i have declared small-post-thumbnail with a width and height in earlier code.

i think that could have been perfect except i’m not using the widget sidebar i am building it through php.

still not managed to sort this one out.

if anybody can help me would be much appreciated

thanks

sorry, yes the image is in the post, so i presume it is in the content.

my site this is what i am currently working on so you can have a better idea.

thanks

i managed to sort it, it was a basic problem in a seperate page to what i was looking, the link you gave me helped me solve it.
thanks a lot

this is the second time ive done it as i suspected something like that may have happened. and I am using ASCII.

i sorted it, for anybody that is trying to do something similar
i used the following code:

<?php $posts = get_posts( "tag=inspired&numberposts=1" ); ?> <?php if( $posts ) : ?> <?php foreach( $posts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
<?php images('1', '170', '', '', true); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?> <?php endif; ?>

with this plugin https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/simple-image-grabber/

that seems fine, and i will probably do that method, just wondering if there is a way for a menu item to show when the client logs in, similar to a my account sort of page?

dan

ok, is there a redirect module to use with that, so i could have a menu link with Client Page, and then give them a code, which re-directs them to the password protected page?
