Hi,
I'm trying to add a function where the 'full' thumbnail from the thumbnail function in WP 2.9+ is returned, but I only want the location of the thumbnail. Ergo, just http://mysiteisco.ol/thumbnail.jpg
I've tried
if ( function_exists('has_post_thumbnail') && has_post_thumbnail($id) ) {
$thumbnail = get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, 'full' );But that returns something which doesn't work. Can anybody tell me what to use instead of get_the_post_thumbnail?

Take a look at.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_attachment_image_src
It's how wp_get_attachment_image gets the path, which in turn is what's used by the post thumbnail functions.
I'm not sure if I understand this right, I changed it into but now there's no output at all.
if ( function_exists('has_post_thumbnail') && has_post_thumbnail($id) ) {
$thumbnail = wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, 'full' ));
if (!$image_src[0]) return false;
else return $image_src[0];I changed it into
if ( function_exists('has_post_thumbnail') && has_post_thumbnail($post->ID) ) {
$thumbnail = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'full' );
if (!$thumbnail[0]) return false;
else return $thumbnail[0];But it still doesn't do what I want. Hm...

You only need to provide an ID to that function, see the return values shown.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_attachment_image_src#Return_Values
The return value of get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, 'full' ) will not be a numeric value (an ID), therefore it's invalid to place it inside the function call to wp_get_attachment_image_src.
Print your variables out, it'll make more sense when you know what's in them.
I've tried a couple of things and I can't get this one right.
And I did it... Man, thanks t31os_, you lead me into the right direction.
The end result. This gave me the thumbnail I wanted. But I wanted to put this into TimThumb. So I exchanged the last part after else return to that 'function'. Great.
if ( function_exists('has_post_thumbnail') && has_post_thumbnail($post->ID) ) {
$thumbnail = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), full );
if (!$thumbnail[0]) return false;
else return $thumbnail[0];

I could of fixed it for you, but then you'd not feel the same sense of accomplishment as you do right now.. ;)
Happy to hear you got it working... :) I knew you would .. ;)
I was really getting annoyed because it didn't work the way I wanted it. It did not give me the picture to throw in timthumb, it showed me the picture.
I was standing under the shower and then I finally realised what went wrong, I never said the $thumbnail had to go to Timthumb. After that it was a walk in the park.
For completeness, this is the complete end result.

Thanks for sharing your code, i'm sure other users looking for something similar will find it very useful... :)

Is this the simple way?
<?php
while ( $posts->have_posts() ) : $posts->the_post();
$src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), full );
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { ?>
<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/inc/timthumb.php?src=<?php echo $src[0]; ?>&h=348&w=600&zc=1" />
<?php } else { ?>
<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/inc/timthumb.php?src=<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/default.png&h=348&w=600&zc=1" />
<?php }
endwhile; ?>Not in this theme no :)

I wrote a little helper function:
function get_the_post_thumbnail_data($intID = 0) {
if($intID == 0) {
return $intID;
}
$objDom = new SimpleXMLElement(get_the_post_thumbnail($intID));
$arrDom = (array)$objDom;
return (array)$arrDom['@attributes'];
}$arrImage = get_the_post_thumbnail_data($wp_query->post->ID);
$strStyle = ' style="width: 760px; height: ' . $arrImage['height'] . 'px; background: transparent url(' . $arrImage['src'] . ') scroll no-repeat 0 0;"';

I wrote a quick little helper function too:
function get_the_post_thumbnail_src($img)
{
return (preg_match('~\bsrc="([^"]++)"~', $img, $matches)) ? $matches[1] : '';
}Example usage:
<?php $image_url = get_the_post_thumbnail_src(get_the_post_thumbnail()) ?>

There is already a built-in function to do what you want. No need for regexp and other dirty solutions.
$thumbnail_id = get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID);
$thumbnail_object = get_post($thumbail_id);
After that you can just call things like $thumbnail_object->guid (this is the src to the image) and $thumbnail_object->post_title. Try running an print_r($thumbnail_object) and you'll see what other goodies are stored there :)

$thumbail_id in row 2 is obviously a misprint btw :P
