I'm having a heck of a time in adding a class to the get_the_post_thumbnail() function. As you can see, in the codex page on it, I *should* be able to define an array and add a new class, but not only is it not working, but when I add it, it removes the output completely.
I have an if/then statement - so "if" something is one way, I need a particular class added, "else" if it's another way, I need a different class added. I've tried several methods to do it, but nothing is working. (I even tried writing my own function to add_filter to it - but no go.)
My current code is like so:
// images
$images = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'images', true);
$image = $images['imgrep'];
$title = $images['title'];
$featured = get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, 'medium');
// title representation for top left side of posts
if(!empty($title)) {
$title = '<img class="titlerep wp-post-image" src="' . $title . '" alt="" />' . "\n";
$inuse == 'no';
} else if(!empty($featured)) { // if no title rep set, use the featured image
$title = $featured;
$inuse == 'yes';
} else { // if no title rep set, and no featured image, use the post title text
$title = '<h2>' . get_the_title() . '</h2>' . "\n";
$inuse == 'no';
}
// image representation for right side
if(!empty($image)) {
$image = '<img class="imgrep wp-post-image" src="' . $image . '" alt="" />' . "\n";
} else if(!empty($featured) && $inuse == 'no') { // if no title rep set, use the featured image
$image = $featured;
}So I've been trying to simply change the $featured variable at the top, and instead of leaving it there, pulling it into the conditionals and adding the class. ($title should have 'titlerep' added, and $image should have 'imagerep' added). I've tried just adding "'class=titlerep'" to the end, writing an array of values where "'class' => 'titleprep'" is in there and added to the end,even tried popping in a small function for the apply_filter thing - and like I said, nothing is working. Anyone have any ideas on how to do this?
Thanks!
