Ooh! I didn’t know codex covered that. As reference for anyone trying to use a variable with your meta this works,

query_posts('meta_value=' . $some_variable);

Esmi that theory totally works! Thanks!

Sorry, the site isn’t published yet. I’ll post a link soon.

Thanks!

@govpatel, thanks! That’s the best solution! ??

@t-p, that’s also good to know! Although it would take long to check the URL for each DB.

I found a workaround by editing media.php from wp-includes but does anyone know an easier way to achieve this? I wish the new wp version would have options for crop positions.

Trepmal you’re awesome! post-thumbnail works ?? I’ll add the code to my functions, it’s very useful ??

Still generates the full size URL

https://www.website.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/AX0480GR2.jpg

this is weird. Using the_post_thumbnail(), the URL path is the thumbnail’s but I’m not sure how that’s generated.

Thanks trepmal!

I did try that code, it works but it gets the full size image url. For example,

https://www.website.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/AX0480GR2.jpg

the url for the thumbnail would be

https://www.website.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/AX0480GR2-300x298.jpg

I can’t find any documentation on how to get the exact URL for the generated thumbnail.. ??

aah thanks that’s neat!

ok I tried removing <?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?> from<form action="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/sendmail.php" method="post"> and now I just get page not found. but in browser its shows /sendmail.php after the website address.

ok I figured it out ?? I had to put the enwdhile and eddif in the li tags

Thank you for the suggestion. I had tried that too but I get the same message

Call to undefined function get_header()

the form itself is in a custom page template named Contact but the page with the code that emails the form is separate.

the code I’m using on it is

<?php
//create short variable names
$name = trim($_POST['name']);
$email = trim($_POST['email']);
$email2 = trim($_POST['email2']);
$phone = trim($_POST['phone']);
$comment = trim($_POST['comment']);

if($name !=='' && $email2 !=='' && $comment !=='' && filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)!==false) {

//set up some static information
$toaddress = "[email protected]";

$subject = "New Message";

$mailcontent = "Customer name: ".$name."\n".
	       "Customer email: ".$email."\n".
	       "Customer phone: ".$phone."\n".
               "Customer comments:\n".$comment."\n";

$fromaddress = 'From: '. $_POST['name'].' <'.$_POST['email'].'>'. "\r\n";

//invoke mail() function to send mail
mail($toaddress, $subject, $mailcontent, $fromaddress);

}else{
	 die("Please fill all fields and enter a valid email address.");
}

?>

<h1>Thank you <?php echo $name; ?>!</h1>
<p>Your message has been sent. We'll get back to you shortly!</p>

and for some reason I can’t include the header or any other function I think.

Ooh I’m so sorry!! I forgot to mention that the code is in a loop

the whole code is..

<div id="post" class="clearfix">
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<ul class="blog_post">
<li>
<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<?php echo substr(get_the_excerpt(), 0,250); ?>
<br />
<div class="more"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"> More info ?</a></div>
</li>
</ul>

 <?php endwhile; else: ?>
  Not Found, Error 404
 <?php endif; ?>

Now that generates more li and interprets each one as first-child

hmm makes sense but the php generates more li in html no? First-child works whenever I list navigation links. I don’t understand ??
