I see! That field (featured image) had eluded me entirely, as we use the thumbnail image field!

Thank you!

I have made a very basic testsite with the version (3.16) of Dante we are running as theme (I hope this is okay).
No plugins are installed and the ‘sf recent posts’ widget shows blank images!

See my test at:

Hi,
it is displayed under the content aware sidebars plugin.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/content-aware-sidebars/
Could this be the cause?

How should i give a WP login? I can’t write it here for obvious reasons, and what priviledges would be needed?

On the right sidebar the widget shows the default images
http://schillerinstitut.dk/si/category/alle-kategorier/strategi/ny-renaessance/

From the widget-posts.php:
$thumb_image = get_post_thumbnail_id();
$thumb_img_url = wp_get_attachment_url( $thumb_image, ‘widget-image’ );
$image = sf_aq_resize( $thumb_img_url, 94, 75, true, false);
if $thumb_image is nul i think, the next two lines set $image to be the default image.

Well that is not from a widget, but from some other parts of the code.

I am referring specifically to the code here..
dante/swift-framework/widgets/widget-posts.php

It is activated by going to the widget section for example adding a ‘recent posts’ widget in a sidebar through..
wp-admin/widgets.php

I see.. that is a good page for reference. Overlooked i guess. 🙂

[schillerinstitut]

Yes, that is exactly what it was. 🙂

Not so easy to figure out what a ‘category slug’ is…
Seems like a bit ambiguous name to me, but my changes works now.
Thanks.

Hi,
I am as of now using the ‘recent posts’ entity with only one category. I see that what i am doing does not really make sense in the case of selecting multiple categories.

Anyway i now only need to get hold of the category Id from the selected category. Unfortunately $category_array[0] which coincides with $category does not contain the category ‘name’ field but something else that i am trying to find out how it can give me the category id, so that i can use get_category_link( id ) and i am done.

Hi,
i am managing my customization and it is going well. Not so difficult. I just miss one information now…

is the $category variable in recent-posts.php a structure and is there somewhere i can find that structure?

If you can inform me on this it would be a help, otherwise i am about to find out on my own.

I tried to do the changes i mentioned first and it worked fine, only the link was not really correct.

Now I am just asking for an overall opinion on the SPBMap change i suggest.

I need this other param, but i am unsure because it makes changes towards the database and i don’t know how that works really yet.

[schillerinstitut]

Do you have any idea if it is dangerous to add to the params list in…
SPBMap::map( ‘recent_posts’, array(
..

“params” => array(
..

?

[schillerinstitut]

So after this line (line 219)..
$output .= “\n\t\t\t\t”.$items;
in the file i should put in my ‘more’ html in the same manner.

And then i just need the variable for the link and to check the variable $item_count if it is not zero?

[schillerinstitut]

Thanks, that is what i needed. 🙂

Hi,
i am afraid that there is some options there, but not of use to me in this respect. I have 5 entries on this page..

Default Show Page Heading
Default Page Heading Background
Default Sidebar Config
Default Left Sidebar
Default Right Sidebar
