How to make the Header Image editable without Themler

Hi,

There is no possibility to add the header image as the editable element in the Theme options. But you can add the widget area in that place and then the user will be able to edit the image as the widget content.

Add CMS Code control and this code. Make first own custom image size for headers and rebuild all images.
Let your Users manipulate header images via post/page featured image. Change image size name to your own when you prepare new image size.

This is all, dont expect more without a complex plugin.

<?php
                    // Check if this is a post or page, if it has a thumbnail, and if it's a big one
                    if ( is_singular() && current_theme_supports( 'post-thumbnails' ) &&
                            has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) &&
                            ( /* $src, $width, $height */ $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'post-thumbnail' ) ) &&
                            $image[1] >= HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH ) :
                        // Houston, we have a new header image!
                        echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID );
                    elseif ( get_header_image() ) : ?>
                        <img src="<?php header_image(); ?>" width="<?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH; ?>" height="<?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT; ?>" alt="" />
                    <?php endif; ?>

Awesome - Thanks!!

Man, I am testing all this **** on a regular theme. I doubt Themler remove all CSS and PHP code on block "delete".

This code doesn't seem to work.
Where should we be placing the code?

CMS control inside your header where you want image(s). Post/page view template.
Better not to use Themler header, add own row control.

I keep getting an error message. I must be missing something.

What is this error ? Copy and paste it here complete.

This code snippet above is very strange. Seems as formatting here on forum changed it by time. I am not sitting on computer where I have this snippet. Will check it under day and write back.

Here is better and improved snippet. Change image size name to your own. Manipulate image with CSS, you already have everything inside CMS Control - More styles - Images.

Impossible to put code here, formatting is a mess. And I have no time to figure out how to do it. It is support forum and code support has to be better.

<?php // Check if this is a post or page, if it has a thumbnail, and if it's a big one
if ( is_singular() && current_theme_supports( 'post-thumbnails' ) &&
has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) && ( /* $src, $width, $height */ $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'tc_rectangular_size' ) ) && $image[1] >= HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH ) :
// Houston, we have a new header image!
echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'tc_rectangular_size' );
elseif ( get_header_image() ) : ?> <img src="<?php header_image(); ?>" width="<?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH; ?>" height="<?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT; ?>" alt="" />
<?php endif; ?>
