Make thumbnail for related posts

You may know the code for related posts which I showed in previous post in Simplex Design blog. In this post ,I want to show you the code for adding thumbnail to related posts . This code is based on related posts code before but add some lines for thumbnail . I myself don't create this code ,I found it in Bloggerpluggins blog,and introduce it here ,I hope it helpful for you all .



You can take a look on related post with thumbnails at live demo

 






Here is steps for doing this hack :

1,Go to Dashboard ,continue to Layout --> Edit HTML .Checked on Expand Widgets template .


2,Look for  </head>

and replace it with :



<!--Related Posts with thumbnails Scripts and Styles Start-->

<!-- remove --><b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>

<style type="text/css">

#related-posts {


float:center;

text-transform:none;

height:100%;

min-height:100%;

padding-top:5px;

padding-left:5px;

}



#related-posts h2{


font-size: 1.6em;

font-weight: bold;

color: black;

font-family: Georgia, &#8220;Times New Roman&#8221;, Times, serif;

margin-bottom: 0.75em;

margin-top: 0em;

padding-top: 0em;

}


#related-posts a{

color:black;

}

#related-posts a:hover{

color:black;

}



#related-posts  a:hover {


background-color:#d4eaf2;

}

</style>

<script type='text/javascript'>

var defaultnoimage="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju4PMfrz8SVz72CEf3iyqExNSX__huAamArNkbJVc3TxF1j5g6n9BqI4-Ipa8wBEi7VRSW1MpFuI8UAjVfH0WTbvCToAG1wDEWRXXt3c5Y0KpQ1VnB-QbWVQfVNEiA4QdTrpSvKoMSQFY/s400/noimage.png";

var maxresults=5;

var splittercolor="#d4eaf2";

var relatedpoststitle="Related Posts";

</script>


<script src='http://blogergadgets.googlecode.com/files/related-posts-with-thumbnails-for-blogger-pro.js' type='text/javascript'/>

<!-- remove --></b:if>

<!--Related Posts with thumbnails Scripts and Styles End-->

</head>

This is CSS for formatting related posts section .

3,Find <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'>

or <p class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'>


if you don't find any of two lines above in templates ( for example ,in template I designed ^^) you can find this <p><data:post.body/></p>

and add the code below after these line :

<!-- Related Posts with Thumbnails Code Start-->

<!-- remove --><b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>

<div id='related-posts'>

<b:loop values='data:post.labels' var='label'>


<b:if cond='data:label.isLast != &quot;true&quot;'>

</b:if>

<script expr:src='&quot;/feeds/posts/default/-/&quot; + data:label.name + &quot;?alt=json-in-script&amp;callback=related_results_labels_thumbs&amp;max-results=6&quot;' type='text/javascript'/></b:loop>

<script type='text/javascript'>


removeRelatedDuplicates_thumbs();

printRelatedLabels_thumbs(&quot;<data:post.url/>&quot;);

</script>

</div><div style='clear:both'/>

<!-- remove --></b:if>

<!-- Related Posts with Thumbnails Code End-->
