I’m trying to solve the same problem, but “…usually the archive.php file of your WP theme)….” is not on this archive…. where can I found?

I would like to list all my products on one page only, with a custom page template.

I’m trying to modify the thumbnail section a little bit to save some space in the design.
I only want to show the first attached image of the 3 as a link. The link then opens up a modal box with all the images in a bigger format. With Next and Prev navigation of course.

I’m using the Lightbox Plus plugin and it works, but it shows all the 3 thumbnails on the product page of course.

Any way to get it to only show the first attached image from the array?

I like to include the WP gallery into my page, so I think I should be able to use this too.

In my page template I call the gallery shortcode (which needs the post ID), but it doesn’t work if I do:

// Get the post ID (http://wpml.org/2009/09/creating-a-multilingual-product-catalog/)
$o_ID = icl_object_id($post->ID, 'page', false, 'en');

echo do_shortcode('[gallery id="' . intval( $o_ID->post_parent ) . '", columns="3", size="thumbnail", orderby="menu_order ASC", link="file"]');

Anyone knows how to accomplish this correctly?

even if a think wpml is a great plugin, it lacks of a few features like an ability to copy content from other languages by default.

I have tried the technique to display french (default language) from a specific french category but the wp_query returns nothing in other languages

$daily = new WP_Query();
$daily->query('cat=' . icl_object_id(array(3),'category',true, 'fr') . "&suppress_filters=1" );

the following works in the default language but not in aother languages


$daily->have_posts())


is there anything I miss ?

thanks

I was looking for a way to use the same “Featured image” from WordPress 3.0 across all translations of a page or posts. This seems to work. All I have to do is select a featured image in my original post (English).

In case anyone else is trying to achieve the same result, here is the code I used to display the featured image in the header:


$o_ID = icl_object_id($post->ID, 'post', false, 'en');
$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $o_ID ), 'post-thumbnail');
list($src, $width, $height) = $image;
if ( is_singular() && has_post_thumbnail( $o_ID ) && $width >= HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH ) :
echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $o_ID, 'post-thumbnail' );
else : ?>

In case anyone else is trying to achieve the same result, here is the code I used to display the featured image in the header:


ID, 'post', false, 'en');
$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $o_ID ), 'post-thumbnail');
list($src, $width, $height) = $image;
if ( is_singular() && has_post_thumbnail( $o_ID ) && $width >= HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH ) :
echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $o_ID, 'post-thumbnail' );
else : ?>
<img class="wp-post-image" src="" width="" height="" alt="" />
?>
