Add min-height to thumbnails for category view
Not sure this is needed, but if someone were to not have an image in the post, it wouldn't throw off the layout.
Looked at this for a bit and I don't think it's a style issue. In functions.php the get_thumb function assigns a thumbnail from what's in the gallery if a featured image wasn't chosen, but it doesn't do anything if there are no images in the post. Seems like you'd need to have another function that assigns a ready-made thumbnail to posts without images, then change the thumbnail conditional in category.php. Does that make sense? Something along the lines of:
in functions.php:
function make_thumb() {
$thumb = 'images/default-thumb.png';
}
and in category.php:
if (post_has_images) {
if (has_post_thumbnail()){
the_post_thumbnail();
} else {
echo get_thumb(...);
}
} else {
make_thumb();
}
Ah, smart!
what about: ...(snip)... } else { ?> <?php }
Check my markup, but basically if there's no image, then throw in a css span that we can create a min-height on.
The image could work, but it feels too much like a spacer.gif to me. Plus the min-height might be easier to change if people want larger thumbnails, which should be coming in the future.
