I tried to do something very similiar and got stuck on how to show the thumbnail of the child page. get_the_post_thumbnail($page->ID, array(150,100)) works perfectly now! thank you so much ..

]]> Comment on Creating a thumbnail index page from child pages by Brendan http://www.elshaddai-edwards.com/2010/03/thumbnail-index-page/comment-page-1/#comment-795 Brendan Thu, 05 Aug 2010 21:56:31 +0000 http://www.elshaddai-edwards.com/?p=1244#comment-795 Thank you very much for you post. I searched around for this for ages. At least it feels like that. I do have a question. You use your thumbnail images as a link to a child page. Would it be possible to link each thumbnail directly to a post? What I want to achieve is this. Within my Thematic child theme I have made a template page called project. On this page I want to display thumbnails. Each thumbnail will link to its own post. It feels as if I am really close to getting there. I just don't know how to. I am still rather new to PHP. If you could and want to give me some advise I would be very happy and thankful. Thank you very much for you post. I searched around for this for ages. At least it feels like that.

'thematic_postheader_posttitle' works. But thematic's css is set to clear all on headers tags in the parent CSS. So I added this to my child css and your code worked! The thumbnail is to the left of the post excerpt! Thank you. h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 { clear:none; } Figure it out. ‘thematic_postheader_posttitle’ works.

Only problem is that floating the thumbnail left doesn't work for me with thematic_postheader_posttitle http://img293.imageshack.us/i/thematicpostheaderpostt.jpg/ But I know float is successfully applied to the image because it works with get_the_excerpt. http://img835.imageshack.us/i/gettheexcerptwithfloatl.jpg/ Any ideas? I'm trying hard to get the title and excerpt next to the thumbnail. And I know css well, but float isn't work with thematic_postheader_posttitle for some reason. Great tip!

I've explored having everything created on the fly, but you end up doing a lot of work repositioning groups of links -- or I should say trying to reposition them, since not all groups are going to be the same length/height. As long as you set up your subpages in a logical manner with appropriate parent pages, the editing is fairly straightforward.

Would I be right in thinking you still need to hard-code the sub menus? Is there any way to have the main nav, and submenus created on the fly? Looks great.
