How to Grab Next Images

[Guest]

Hi guys!

I really enjoy this wonderful plugin for my Wordpress powered blog. Now, I've been struggling how to set up the plugin so it grabs the next image(s) rather than the first image because all of the first images I use are a graphic banner to stylize my blog posts. I'd like it to grab the next image rather than this graphic banner which is above the second image. I tried to follow the instructions at http://www.featurific.com/ffw#customfields but it doesn't work. I tried to modify the template.xml where it says %image_1% to %image_2% but it's not working.

How do I exactly ask it to grab the next, not first, image from each blog post? It's only thing I desire because this plugin is perfect for what I need.

Thanks!

I have figured it out. All I had to do is type in and add the custom field image_1 and then put in the image url in the value. It works!

Hi there, Guest!

I'm glad you figured it out! You've got it - this is the right way to do things. Note that you also could have used %image_2% in your XML and also defined the 'image_2' custom field. This would allow you to use both the default image and your own custom image at the same time. However, for your particular needs, it sounds like you didn't want to use the default image at all (you only wanted to use your custom image), so this works great!

Happy to hear that you've figured it out. Have a wonderful day, and happy blogging!
