Is there a way to retrieve the image path for an entry using that entry’s slug or id? I’m getting entries from the database for a custom widget that I’m building, and I need to be able to grab the image for an entry using the information available in the wp_connections tables in the database.

Like this:

$entry = new cnEntry();

// `id` or `slug`
$entry->set( $slid );

// get image meta for the photo
$image_meta = $entry->getImageMeta();

// get image meta for logo
$logo_meta = $entry->getImageMeta( array( 'type' => 'logo' ) );

Both $image_meta and $logo_meta will be arrays. The URL in the url key of the array. The documentation of the getImageMeta() method can be found here. Using this method you can set options such as size, crop mode and quality too.

Hope that helps!
