title is not an attribute for article_image: www.textpattern.net/wiki/index.php?title=article_image.

You have either to enter the title in the caption field, or (little trick inside):

<img src="<txp:image_url id='<txp:custom_field name="article_image" />' />" title='<txp:title />'/>

I’m a little confused, perhaps I’ve misunderstood your intentions. What title do you want to assign to each article image? From your opening post, it seems you want to use the title of the article as the title for every article image. But from the subsequent post, it seems you don’t want to put image IDs into your article because it’s too complicated.

Firstly, there are plenty of plugins (such as abl_droploader or the one mrdale proposed) which will allow you to assign an image to an article using drag and drop, or ‘select from a list’.

Secondly, as CeBe says, if you want to assign a title to each image, the proper place to do it is in one of the Image fields. So you have a choice of Filename, Alt or Caption. Just pick one and use it consistently. Caption is probably the most “correct” field to use in this situation, but it’s entirely up to you.

Once you have captions in all your images, you can use txp: tags to display the information you want. <txp:article_image> is a little restrictive in its output, so if you want complete control over your layout, I suggest using txp:images as a container tag. It will automatically detect any article images you have assigned, so all you need in your default Form is something like:

<txp:if_article_image>
   <txp:images wraptag="ul" break="li">
      <txp:image />
      <txp:image_info type="caption" wraptag="span" class="img-caption" />
   </txp:images>
</txp:if_article_image>

That will display each assigned article image and its caption. If you have multiple (comma-separated) image IDs in your article image field, it will display them all.

In case it helps:

<txp:etc_query data='<txp:article_image />' replace='//img@@title=whatever you need' />

And this one will simply remove link titles:

<txp:etc_query data='<txp:smd_calendar />' replace="//a/@title" />

Not as propagandist, nobody seems to think of etc_query spontaneously, even for tasks it is designed for.

but the titles not coming complete !

They will be cut at ; (the default separator value). If this is the issue, just call etc_query with separator="something_else". Otherwise, please provide more details.
