Using custom image sizes for thumbnail inside posts

    I’m trying to use the thumbnail code, but use a different sized image, which I’ve defined in my functions.php file (called featured-image). I’ve tried this:

    ><img alt=" " border="0" class="story-image" height="175" src="[newsman post='featured-image' placeholder='200x144.gif']" width="253" /

    but it only seems to work when I use post=’thumbnail’. Unfortunately my images don’t crop well into a square. Has anyone else had this problem and found a work-around?

    I’m so sorry, this was a stupid question.

    The ‘thumbnail’ refers to a WP newsman variable, not the image name. To solve it, I’ve regenerated all the site thumbnails (under Settings > Media, then using Regenerate Thumbnails plugin) to get them the right size, so when I embed them, they’ll appear properly.

    Don’t you love it when you can answer your own question 5 minutes later?

    Hello,
    I added a “size” parameter to the [newsman post=’thumbnail’] shortcode. So, in the next version you’ll be able to use one of the sizes defined by your theme, for ex. [newsman post=’thumbnail’ size=’medium’].

    Wow thanks Neocoder, that’s awesome! Will keep an eye out for this in the new version.
