Post format on front page WordPress

Nicole_Nia comments:

this is the bit of the code that when i change the permalink it changes the links, but for all the images
<?php if ($instance['posttype'] == "testi") {
$custom = get_post_custom($post->ID);
$testiname = $custom["my_testi_caption"][0];
$testiurl = $custom["my_testi_url"][0];
$testiinfo = $custom["my_testi_info"][0];
}
$thumb = get_post_thumbnail_id();
$img_url = wp_get_attachment_url( $thumb,'full'); //get img URL
$image = aq_resize( $img_url, $instance['thumb_w'], $instance['thumb_h'], true ); //resize & crop img
?>
<li class="cat_post_item-<?php echo $posts_counter; ?> clearfix">
<?php if ($instance["thumb"]) : ?>
<figure class="featured-thumbnail">
<?php if ( $instance['thumb_as_link'] ) : ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if($instance['thumb_w']!=="" || $instance['thumb_h']!==""){ ?>
<img src="<?php echo $image; ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" />
<?php }else{?>
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
<?php }?>
<?php if ( $instance['thumb_as_link'] ) : ?>
</a>
<?php endif; ?>
</figure>
<?php endif; ?>

Sorry forgot to mention, my posts come in a widget called "My - Advanced Cycle" and the code above is from "my-post-type-widge.php"
this is my first wp site as you can probably tell, i didn't know how much of the code to paste, if you need any more info please let me know, ty for looking at my question

you can provide link to the image using custom field for this page , see here for more information about the custom fields


http://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Fields


so you have to change following line

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">

to something like this

<a href="<?php echo get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'YOUR_CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME',true); ?>">

so for example you have named your custom field as "post_link_url" then you can write is as

<a href="<?php echo get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'post_link_url',true) ;?>">

let me know if you have understood what i want to say..
