txp:images confusion on article list

claywso · 2014-07-12 02:29:40

on a template for an article listing, i’m using an article form that contains a <txp:images /> tag. I’d like to have the listing page show multiple articles, and multiple article images for each article on that listing page..

so, for example, article 1 has article images 1,2,3 and article 2 has images 4,5,6. instead of each article only showing it’s own images, it’s showing images for ALL articles.

the page calls

<txp:article form="gallery" limit="99" />

here’s the article form:

  <div class="ef-post category-1 category-4">
   <div class="ef-post-inner">
    <div class="ef-proj-img">
     <ul class="ef-fadeshow" data-interval="3000">
      <txp:images auto_detect="article" break="li" thumbnail="1" form="gallery-images" />
     </ul>
	 <div class="ef-proj-desc">
	  <h4><txp:title /></h4>
	  <div class="ef-links-holder">
	   <txp:permlink class="ef-lnk icn-ef">Details</txp:permlink>
       <txp:images thumbnail="1" limit="1" form="gallery-enlarge" /><div style="display:none;"><txp:images offset="1" limit="2" form="gallery-enlarge-hidden" thumbnail="1" /></div>
	  </div>
	 </div>
    </div>
   </div>
  </div>

the gallery images form:

<img src="<txp:image_url thumbnail='1' />" />

Try to specify auto_detect=“article” in the three txp:images tags, you are only using it with the first one.

Hi claywso, Article images are what their name says that it is. One option would be to use a custom field and write the ids of the images you wish to show per article.

I suppose you’ve entered in each article_image field the image numbers, for example, for article 1 the numbers 1,2,3, for article two the numbers 4,5,6 etc. Yes or no?

@GugUser – you’re correct. that’s acceptable use, right?

@colak – what’s the difference? why would the article images be treated differently?

@milosevic – thanks, updated

however, i think that i narrowed down the problem to my jquery tool, not a textpattern issue. putting multiple image id’s in the article image field indeed works as it should. thank you!

It works with <txp:images />, with <txp:article_image /> it shows only one image.

Instead of using article_image which only should only show one image, you could use <txp:custom_field name="article_image"/>. Something like:

<txp:images id='<txp:custom_field name="article_image"/>' limit="3"><txp:image /></txp:images>

It is undocumented but it works:)
