Hello,
I would like to be able to add the featured thumbnail of the post to the $post['post_content'] upon creation of the blog automatically, basically takes portion of post_content turns into excerpt and add featured thumbnail to left of it so it's inside the_excerpt. Is this do-able with filters or through the php addon section in your plugin?
Thanks

The featured image (post thumbnail) is a sort of attachment. Thus it is attached to a whole post record, but not to it content or description. The way the featured image gets displayed is fully defined by the WordPress theme.

Hello,
Yes we would actually just go about using the get_post_thumbnail and utilize it with our custom image sizes we have setup inside the wordpress theme.
One issue for us is though is when we make a post, it goes off to a number of web 2.0 properties based on the_excerpt. It simply uses regex to find the image tag and plugs it into the data to pushed to web 2.0 properties. With our get_post_thumbnail physically inside the template it doesn't recognize it in the_content or the_excerpt.
So we were wanting to setup a filter OR be able to customize the post_excerpt upon creation of the post itself within the PHP addon section in CyberSEO.
Is this do-able?
Thanks

I don't think it's possible to do with CyberSEO, because your code in "PHP code <?php .. ?>" executes before the new post gets created. That means the code can't know which exactly ID the assigned by WP to a newly created post.
Thus you need a simple code (as a plugin, or built right into your theme) which will automatically insert the appropriate post thumbnail into the excerpt of every post (see the_excerpt() and the_excerpt_rss() filter descriptions).
