Hi John,

Here is some documentation that is part of the original theme:


<blockquote>/*******************************************************************************************/

/* To make it easier for you to create your functions.php file, we will list the functions */
/* here as we allow you to override them. */

// get the date/time ad was posted
function appthemes_date_posted($m_time)

// display all the custom fields on the single ad page
function cp_get_ad_details($postid, $catid)

// get the first medium image associated to the ad
// used on the home page, search, category, etc
<strong>function cp_get_image</strong>($post_id = '', $size = 'medium', $num = 1)

This is a snippet that references the cp_get_image_url() part;

// get the main image associated to the ad used on the single page
if (!function_exists('cp_get_image_url')) {
function cp_get_image_url() {
global $post, $wpdb;

// go see if any images are associated with the ad
$images = get_children( array('post_parent' => $post->ID, 'post_status' => 'inherit', 'numberposts' => 1, 'post_type' => 'attachment', 'post_mime_type' => 'image', 'order' => 'ASC', 'orderby' => 'ID') );

if ($images) {

// move over bacon
$image = array_shift($images);

// see if this v3.0.5+ image size exists
//$adthumbarray = wp_get_attachment_image($image->ID, 'medium');
$adthumbarray = wp_get_attachment_image_src($image->ID, 'medium');
$img_medium_url_raw = $adthumbarray[0];

// grab the large image for onhover preview
$adlargearray = wp_get_attachment_image_src($image->ID, 'large');
$img_large_url_raw = $adlargearray[0];

// must be a v3.0.5+ created ad
if($adthumbarray)
echo '<a href="'. $img_large_url_raw .'" class="img-main" rel="colorbox"><img src="'. $img_medium_url_raw .'" title="'. the_title_attribute('echo=0') .'" alt="'. the_title_attribute('echo=0') .'" /></a>';


// wow, must be really old v2.9.3 or earlier
} elseif(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'images', true)) {

cp_single_image_legacy($post->ID, get_option('medium_size_w'), get_option('medium_size_h'));

// no image so return the placeholder thumbnail
} else {
echo '<img class="attachment-medium" alt="" title="" src="'. get_bloginfo('template_url') .'/images/no-thumb.jpg" />';
}

}
}

Let me know if this helps?

Which image do you want? The featured image? Or just the first attached image?

Also, why isn't the image in the upload directory?

Edwin comments:

The featured image, the images in the RSS feed are the same as used on the home page thumbnails. So the featured image would be great.

<blockquote>Also, why isn't the image in the upload directory?</blockquote>

The current RSS feed images reference the uploads directory, I haven't made any alterations to the theme for image upload destinations, the above code is original theme code.

</blockquote>

In which case, this will do it:

add_filter('the_excerpt_rss','insert_custom_image');
function insert_custom_image($output) {
global $post;

$image = get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, 'thumbnail');

// Very simplistic - you could preg_replace if you want it somewhere else
$output = $image . $output;

return $output;
}
