Feature request – default images by category

  • Just started to use this plugin. It would be great if you could have different default images for different categories.

    So:
    image 1 for category A
    image 2 for category B
    image 3 for multiple categories or no category selected

    A small drop down to select each category and then a chooser for the image and a static chooser (as it is now) for the default and multiple categories

    What do you think?

    Hello Londonnet,

    The plugin does not do this out of the box but I did leave an opening for it. I don’t support it because how should I handle multi categories, sub categories and all other variations.
    The way you suggest can work but someone else might need something completely else.

    To make this you do need to know a bit of code. An example to get you started.

    function dfi_category ( $dfi_id, $post_id ) {
  // all which have 'animals' as a category
  if ( has_category( 'animals', $post_id ) ) {

    //sub category
    if ( has_category( 'cats', $post_id ) ) {
      return 7; // cats img id
    } else if has_category( 'dogs', $post_id ) {
      return 8; // dogs img id
    }

    return 6; // default animals img id
  }
  return $dfi_id; // the original featured image id
}
add_filter( 'dfi_thumbnail_id', 'dfi_category', 10, 2 );

    Thanks!
