I want to put Amazon image links in a grid

I do not use the Suffusion theme, but it seems that this may be an option under Admin->Suffusion->Blog Features->Layout: Excerpt / List / Tile / Full ->Category Page Setting->Display Tiles.

thank you very much. it almost worked. the only thing that is missing is the amazon iframe image. The grid only shows the title of the post. almost there. Any suggestions?

thanks for your help

Sorry, I can’t find any info on displaying iframes in an excerpt. You might want to start a new thread with that in the title. Maybe someone else can give you an answer.

@jillg, how do you put the Amazon links in the posts? Is it done with a plugin or shortcodes, or do you just hand enter the link info?

@jillg, make a backup copy of themes/suffusion/layouts/layout-tiles.php. Then, just before this code (line 94),

if (($suf_tile_images_enabled == 'show') || ($suf_tile_images_enabled == 'hide-empty' && $image_link != '')) {
				$ret .= "\t\t<div class='suf-tile-image'>".$image_link."</div>\n";
			}

add the code below so it looks like this:

$content = apply_filters('the_content',get_the_content());
         if (strpos($content,'rcm.amazon.com')) {
           if (preg_match('#(<iframe .+</iframe>)#',$content,$matches)) {
             $image_link = $matches[1];
           } else {
             $image_link = '';
           }
         } else {
           $image_link = '';
         }			if (($suf_tile_images_enabled == 'show') || ($suf_tile_images_enabled == 'hide-empty' && $image_link != '')) {
				$ret .= "\t\t<div class='suf-tile-image'>".$image_link."</div>\n";
			}

You also need to set the ‘Thumbnail container height for excerpts’ under Admin->Suffusion->Blog Features. A value of 250 will probably be OK.

wow – thank you very much.

I insert the amazon links in the html tab of the posting.

I have a very kluge workaround so I’ll try what you’re suggesting.
