You can use MultiPostThumbnails::get_the_post_thumbnail() and pass in the same arguments you would to MultiPostThumbnails::the_post_thumbnail(). That won’t echo it so you can assign it to a variable.
Hi Chris,
The plugin is awesome, but when I use get_the_post_thumbnail() I still get all of the associated “img” tag, where all I am looking for is the URL to the image… Is this what should be happening? Surely I can parse it, but wanted to make you aware.
WP 3.0.1
Thanks,

Sorry, this should work:
$post_thumbnail_id = MultiPostThumbnails::get_post_thumbnail_id($post_type, $thumb_id, $post_id);
wp_get_attachment_url($post_thumbnail_id);
where the args to get_post_thumbnail_id are the same you’d pass into MultiPostThumbnails::the_post_thumbnail()
Chirs, I really need your help! 🙂 Ive been pulling my hair out all evening 🙁 its 2am and still no solution
I’ve NO idea how to implement the code you provided.
I use the following code to check if theres a thumbnail called four-image, if there is, it shows the thumbnail…
<?php if (class_exists('MultiPostThumbnails') && MultiPostThumbnails::has_post_thumbnail('post', 'four-image')) { ?>
<a href="#?color=Orange" onclick="switchImg('#')"><?php MultiPostThumbnails::the_post_thumbnail('post', 'four-image', NULL, 'four-image-thumnail'); ?></a>
<?php } ?>
But I also need to be able to call the url of the thumb and insert that into the (‘#’). The reason for this is so when the user clicks the link it changes the main image on my page. http://www.wrapsodyscarves.com.php5-18.websitetestlink.com/pashmina/fuax-fur-stole/
Please help
Chris,
This plugin seems really great, but after following the instructions posted in the Installation and FAQ section of the plugin page on WordPress.com, it’s still not working. I am using the code exactly as it is written in those instances; also, I’ve reviewed the other support topics related to this plugin and have found no success. Is there something that I’m missing?
Thanks,
JC
