Combining Two Functions - WP-PostRatings Plugin

Hello WP Geniuses!
I am working on a site that uses the WP-PostRatings Plugin. I need to merge 2 different functions here to display some images attached to the post.

The code below will output the post content when %POST_THUMB% is placed in the template area in the admin.





if (strpos($template, '%POST_THUMB%') !== false) {

	if ($post->ID != $post_id) {

		$post = &get_post($post_id);

	}

	$value = str_replace("%POST_THUMB%", get_the_content(), $value);

}

However, I don't need the content of the post. I have a custom "query" that is bringing in my attachment images or video code. That code is as follows:





<?php if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'video', true) ) { ?>

	<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "video", $single = true); ?>

<?php } else { ?>



<?php

$attargs = array(

'post_type' => 'attachment',

'post_mime_type' => 'image',

'post_parent' => $post->ID);



$attachments = get_children($attargs);

if ($attachments) {

	foreach ($attachments as $post) {

		?>

		<img style="max-width:630px; width:100%;" src="<?php echo wp_get_attachment_url($post->ID); ?>" alt="<?php the_excerpt(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" class="staff-img" />

		<?php

		break; //only display first image

	}

}

?>



<?php } ?>

So essentially, what I need is to to put put the second block of code into the first block of code so that I can call %POST_THUMB% and get those attached images (or video). I'm guessing the "get_the_content()" function is where it needs to happen, I just don't have the smarts to do it!

Sure hope someone can help me out!

Thanks guys!
Mike

replace this
```
$value = str_replace("%POST_THUMB%", get_the_content(), $value);
```
by this
```
$value = str_replace("%POST_THUMB%", get_post_meta($post->ID, "video", true), $value);
```
this will effect it only if you have the post_meta field video.

	<?php } ?>

	<?php



	$output = ob_get_contents();

	ob_end_clean();



	$value = str_replace("%POST_THUMB%", $output, $value);

}

Andrzej,
You've done it! That worked perfectly, first time around. You are the winner!

Thanks to the others who also posted, all very close! I can't believe how fast the responses were, I'll be back here often with my Wordpress issues, you can guarantee that.
