thumnails then large photo in post

  • So i searched around and couldnt find this, but im sure someone has wanted to do this…

    on my homepage I have a list of the post with the title and data and catagory, I want to add small thumnails to these and once you click on that photo or title it brings up the full post with same photo as the thumbnail but it is the full size.

    Is there a plugin or anyone seen this before, I dont need anyking of uploading or thumnail maker. Idealy It would automaticall take a jpg with the same number as the post and use the second photo like 13_s.jpg for the thumbnail.

    So I have an idea and need some input,

    Is there any way to remove whatever is before the more command on the main post.

    for instance I put a thumnail photo in the post then the more command and then the larger photo and post content.

    The cat list and homepage would include the small photo then when you clicked on it you would see the full post but without the part before the more which is the small photo

    Below the post editor is an Excerpt field. If your theme supports it, it’ll put whatever is in the excerpt field on the main page, but the actual post on the single post view.

    The wrinkle there is that the_excerpt strips out all formatting and images… However: The the_excerpt_reloaded plugin fixes that.

    So where am I going with all this?

    I’d suggest modifying your theme’s index to replace the_content tag with the_index_reloaded. For your posts, put what you want on the main page in the excerpt field.

    Hopefully that makes some sort of sense. Holler back if not.
