I’ve no idea. Taking a look at the code might help. The image is added in tim-widget.php, line 58.

Hello,

The widget is nice, but i don’t see a thumb in the widget.
When i look at the source code i don’t see a source at the image tag.
I don’t know why, can someone help?

Thanks

Well, I’m glad it finally worked out for you

We haven’t thought about the option of removing the excerpt completely, and if we were to release a new version, we’d probably include this option, but since the new WordPress thumbnail feature (in 2.9), TimThumb is no longer really necessary, so developing plugins that use it doesn’t make much sense…

Cheers!

Meanwhile. I was able to look into the plugin’s code and just delete the excerpt display manually. It’s not idea, because now there is no opportunity to show any excerpt, which might come into play if I wanted to use this widget in another instance, but it’s a pretty good, easy fix for now.

Oh but what a world it would be if I had any understanding of how to modify the code (I am still, slowly, understanding this).

Meanwhile, now I’ve found that this widget is pretty perfect for a new site I’m developing for my company.

The only problem: When I have the excerpt set to ‘0′ it ends up showing all the text of the post. If I set it to, say, 1, then it just shows the 1 word. I’d really like to have no text at all under the thumbnail if possible.

Hey George!

You need to edit the tim-widget.php file.

Just look for the line where it says

echo ' . the_img($instance['width'],$instance['height']) . '" />';

and change it to

echo '. get_permalink() . '" rel="nofollow"> . the_img($instance['width'],$instance['height']) . '" />';

Gabriel, enjoying the plugin! Just one thing maybe you can help me with….
How can I make the thumbnail a button link as well as the title text?
