Add additional meta boxes to Hybrid Theme
At the time of writing this post I have Theme Hybrid as my parent theme, and am using a custom version of Hybrid News that Justin Tadlock offers to the public.
Well I want to tell you how you can add additional custom meta boxes to your child theme’s running the Hybrid Theme.
In your child function.php
file just add the following to create a new post meta box:
/** * Add additional post meta boxes * * by WPCult */ function wpcult_post_meta_boxes($meta_boxes) { $meta_boxes['image'] = array( 'name' => 'image', 'default' => '', 'title' => __('Image:'), 'type' => 'text', 'show_description' => false, 'description' => __('Please use a full size image, larger than 500px (this photo will dynamically re-size itself!'), ); return $meta_boxes; } add_filter('hybrid_post_meta_boxes', 'wpcult_post_meta_boxes');
This will create a custom meta box called Image, and will create a custom field with the id of image.
Additionally you can create this on pages as well by copy/paste and replacing “post_meta_box” with “page_meta_box” every where inside the function.

Jon Asked: How to add thumbnails above post on the THiCK theme
I was asked by a reader:
I’m using the THiCK theme for my new design blog. I noticed you were able to add thumbnail images above your blog posts on the home page. What would I need to do to enable this on my blog?
Well Jon, this can be done very simple, since the theme is already using the Tim Thumb script.
What you will need to do is find in your index.php
file, the second loop. Which you can find on line 40
.
<?php query_posts('offset=1&showposts=' . get_option('woo_other_entries') . '&cat=-' . $GLOBALS['ex_asides'] ); ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <div class="post"> <h2><a title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2> <div class="post-meta"><?php the_time('j/m/y'); ?> <span>|</span> <?php comments_popup_link('0 Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?></div> <?php the_excerpt(); ?> </div> <?php endwhile; ?>
Now we are going to add in the code. At line 43
we are going to add:
<?php if (get_option('woo_resize')) { // Check if we should use the image resizer ?> <a title="Continue reading this entry..." href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><img src="<?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/thumb.php?src=<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "image", $single = true); ?>&h=80&w=280&zc=1&q=90" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /></a> <?php } else { ?> <a title="Continue reading this entry..." href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><img src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "image", $single = true); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /></a> <?php } ?>
That’s it, just make sure that in the THiCK options panel you choose the “resize” option, or the image might break the layout. Or you may change the this code: $post->ID, "image",
to: $post->ID, "image_thumb",
and use a separate image for the lower blog.
