next article thumbnail

Is there a way to show my next article’s thumbnail, instead of just the next article title? Thanks for any help.

Re: next article thumbnail

Is this a dumb question? I’ll assume it can’t be done, I couldn’t find any plugins/information on this.

Do you need any restrictions on how the next article is selected — like matching section / category etc.?

Re: next article thumbnail

Ok, without narrowing anything down by section or category, the following should show the next article’s “article image” (I’m assuming that’s what you mean when you say ‘thumbnail’ in your post).

Put this in the article form you are using to display your articles.

<txp:php>
global $next_id;
if( !empty( $next_id ) )
	{
	$next_id = (int)$next_id;
	article_push();
	$rs = safe_row("*, unix_timestamp(Posted) as uPosted", "textpattern", 'ID='.$next_id." limit 1;");
	if ($rs) 
		{
		extract($rs);
		populateArticleData($rs);
		$atts = array();
		echo article_image( $atts );
		}
	article_pop();
	}
</txp:php>

Re: next article thumbnail

i have to do the same thing except for the fact that i need to restrict it to the current section and category and that the article list is sorted by title. anyone? :)

edit: guess my problem is a bit more complicated /different, so i’ve started a separate thread
