need to apply an if/else statement to Tim Thumb script

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Not sure how to work this. I essentially want to call a variety of image sizes based on which stylesheet a user chooses from the administration backend of a wordpress theme. The sizes of the images would be different depending on which stylesheet is selected. My idea is to write an if/else statement to accomplish this, but don't know how.

The script looks like this:

Code: <?php // This will show the image and link the image to the post. Alter the width and height (in both places) to your needs. ?>
<?php if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'thumb', true) ) { ?>
<div class="postthumb">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">
<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/scripts/timthumb.php?src=<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "thumb", $single = true); ?>&h=180&w=200&zc=1" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" width="200" height="180" /></a>
</div>
<?php } ?>

If the user selects a layout utilizing a 200px wide image this script would work, but if they choose a layout using a 300px width image the Tim Thumb script would have to be obviously different.

Basically, I would like to offer a different Tim Thumb script based on whatever layout/stylesheet the user selects. And I think the best way is to offer an if/else statement, but I don't know how to do this...

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks!
