[Plugin: Calendar Archives] Modified: using Post-Thumbnail first if it exists.

Hi there,

Because I use WordPress’ post-thumbnails feature I’ve already chosen the image that I would like to represent a given post. Because of that, I made a modification to your code to first check if there is a post-thumbnail, and if not, to then choose an image from the post. It’d be great to have something along these lines in a future release.

// Check if there is a post-thumbnail
                $postthumbnail = get_the_post_thumbnail( $posts[$index]->ID );
                if($postthumbnail){
	                // use the post-thumbnail
	                preg_match_all('/<\s*img [^\>]*src\s*=\s*[\""\']?([^\""\'>]*)/i', $postthumbnail, $matches);
                }else{
	                // Get all images from post's body
	                preg_match_all('/<\s*img [^\>]*src\s*=\s*[\""\']?([^\""\'>]*)/i', $posts[$index]->post_content, $matches);
                }

Thanks for writing this, exactly what I was looking for.
