2. Get Custom Field Value
This is very useful thing while you are dealing with thumbnails. You can use WordPress custom fields to get value transfered to your code from post. Many functions are used for same purpose, Best of them are illustrated below:
Function 1
$thumbnail = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'thumb', $single = true);
Now use the variable $thumbnail at any place to echo the value of custom field thumb, you can change the value of preview to your desired one!
Function 2
$image = get_post_custom_values('img');
Same like the above function but this function will return the value in $image array, so you will have to use something like below to get the custom field value:
echo $image[0];
