Just looked at the code again and it seems return $img.$excerpt; only returns the excerpt text. $img doesnt do anything and is never initialised. If you want the image below the excerpt you have to echo $excerpt at the top of the function and then let the function output the image as normal. $img does nothing.

Is it possible to display the thumbnail image below the excerpt text? In the plugin code I changed
return $img.$excerpt;
to
return $excerpt.$img;
but it makes no difference.

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Avinash,

Great plugin, thanks very much. I am having one problem: if my thumbnail size is set in the admin area to something of unequal dimensions – like 200 x 100 – then the excerpts don’t generate correctly. The image width is set correctly, but not the height.

I did reset TFE_SIZE to 0 but this doesn’t seem to help. Any ideas? Hope it’s not something I’m doing wrong!

Cheers though!

Solved my orn problem by reading the readme – and learning how to create a new class in the CSS

for anyone as noob as me – just create something like this in your css file

.imgtfe {
background:url(images/content.png) top left repeat;
margin: 0px 8px 0px 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #E6E6E6;
}

then edit at will
- that code gives the image a background (change link to suit),
- it sets the text 8px to the right of the thumbnail
- gives 5px of padding around the
- 1px border

You wont want all of that, or you might, but its better to have more and takeaway than be stuck with nothing.

Hope it helps someone and thanks again for the post and plugin!

@Tom : You can try to set the “TFE_SPACE” value in the plugin file which is the HSPACE parameter for the image.

Hi there, thank you very much for this post – very useful.

One question, How might i add padding to the thumbnail image in the excerpt version of the post? It is aligned left but the post text is touching the edge of the image and i want a nice gap between the two – this is blatantly a n00b question but i would love some help regardless

Many thanks
