Try it like this:

<?php
	if ( has_post_thumbnail() )
		the_post_thumbnail( 'single-post-thumbnail' );
	else
		echo '<img src="' . get_bloginfo( 'stylesheet_directory' ) . '/default_thumb.jpg" alt="title" title="title" />';
?>

you might need to adjust the url to “default_thumb”. The example assumes that it is in the same directory as your themes main stylesheet.

Joe,
You can give this code a try. I know there’s a lot but I just had cup of coffee and can’t stop typing 🙂 Should work in any template file you place it in. The best part is you can replace the first argument passed to get_terms() to any taxonomy you wish displayed ie. ‘post-tags’, ‘categories’ or ‘my-custom-taxonomy’.

Best wishes,
-Mike

$category_links = array();
$categories = get_terms( 'category' );
if( !is_wp_error( $categories ) ) {
	foreach( $categories as $order => $category ) {
		$url = esc_url( get_category_link( $category->term_id ) );
		$title = esc_attr( $category->name );
		$text = esc_html( $category->name );
		$category_links[] = "\n" . '<a href="' . $url . '" title="' . $title . '" >' . $text . '</a>';
	}
}
$category_links_count = count( $category_links );
if( $category_links_count > 1 )
	print 'Categories: ' . implode( ', ', $category_links );
else if( $category_links_count === 1 )
	print 'Category: ' . $category_links_count[0];

I would recommend that you check out the Custom Post Template plugin.

Thanks for the plugin, it was exactly what I was looking for !

No Problem! I really wanted it for my site too! Glad you like it.

I’d like to show the image within single.php. I guess I should also be able to choose which taxonomy is involved…

If you are using version 0.3 you should be able to use the get_image_html() method to display images in single views. It takes two arguments: the first is the size of the image and the second is the term_taxonomy_id of the image. Please bear in mind that this is different than the term_id.

To return the image link:

$my_var = $taxonomy_images_plugin->get_image_html( 'detail', $c->term_taxonomy_id );

To print the image link:

$taxonomy_images_plugin->print_image_html( 'detail', $c->term_taxonomy_id );

Hope this helps,
-Mike

kahi,
I was able to find a work around to a couple of bugs that I discovered in the Reveal IDs for WP Admin plugin. Thanks for the tip! It was a super easy fix.

Please note that this plugin stores an array that use the $term->term_taxonomy_id as the key and the $post->ID of the attachment as it’s value. Although $term->term_id will work in some cases, it can return a false positive where multiple taxonomies share the same name.

I added a argument to get_image_html() and print_image_html() which will allow you to pass the term_taxonomy_id to specify which image you would like returned. You second example would look something like this:

$cats = get_categories();
foreach ( $cats as $c ) {
	$url = get_category_link( $c->term_id );
	$img = $taxonomy_images_plugin->get_image_html( 'medium', $c->term_taxonomy_id );
	if( !empty( $img ) )
		print '<a href="' . $url . '">' . $img . '</a>';
}

Before you upgrade to 0.3, MAKE SURE TO DELETE LINE 75:
<?php do_action( 'taxonomy_image_plugin_print_image_html', 'detail' ); ?>

Very strange. Are you sure that you are adding the code to page.php and not index.php? Also does your theme have a home.php file? If so, try to temporarily rename it to __home.php. That file is sneaky and can sometimes cause unintended headaches. Best of luck.

Totally agree with alchymyth – that’s the part that confused my server as well.
