[Plugin: Related Posts Thumbnails] Setting different amount of posts for two get_related_posts_thumb

Hey, a little late, but as I needed the same today, I modified the plugin a bit and will probably serve for someone in the future:

Edit related-posts-thumbnails.php file

Search for global $wpdb; (around line #90), and before that line add:

if (!empty($this->options)) {
	foreach ($this->options as $option => $value) {
		$$option = $value;
	}
}

Then, search for function get_related_posts_thumbnails() (around line 830) and modify it to look like this:

function get_related_posts_thumbnails( $options = false )

And two lines below (right after global $related_posts_thumbnails;), add this:

if (!empty($options)) {
	$related_posts_thumbnails->options = $options;
}

And that’s it!

Now, you can overwrite any admin option on the call:

Want to show 5 related posts?

<?php get_related_posts_thumbnails(array('posts_number' => 5 )); ?>

Again, I can send diff files to the developer or anyone who ask for them.

Have a great day!
