<txp:image_info /> strange behavior or default behavior?
I’m using the following code on a textpattern form:
<a href="<txp:permlink/>" title="<txp:title/>">
<txp:images limit="1">
<txp:smd_thumbnail type="Padrao-Lista-de-Posts" id='<txp:image_info type='id'/>'/>
</txp:images>
</a>
However, if the article doesn’t have an image ID attached to it, it returns the image of ID 9 by default. First i tought it was a plugin related issue but then i’ve unistaled the smd plugin and tested with:
<a href="<txp:permlink/>" title="<txp:title/>">
<txp:images limit="1">
<txp:image_info type="id"/>
</txp:images>
</a>
And it returns “9” anyway… is it a common behavior? Shoudn’t return nothing? What i’m trying to acomplish it’s to check if the site admin forgot to attach an image to the article and the display a standard image if it’s the case.
Using textpattern 4.4.1 with a lot of plugins on and testing on a localhost XAMPP windows machine

<txp:image_info type=“id”/> will output the image id txp:image_info
I’m not sure why the id 9 comes up, I just used <txp:images limit="1"> <txp:image_info type="id"/> </txp:images> in a form and it output id 3 – there will be some logic somewhere
You can use the txp:if_article_image to test for an article image
<txp:if_article_image>
<a href="<txp:permlink/>" title="<txp:title/>"> <txp:images limit="1"> <txp:smd_thumbnail type="Padrao-Lista-de-Posts" id='<txp:image_info type='id'/>'/> </txp:images> </a>
<txp:else />
<a href="<txp:permlink />" title="<txp:title />"><txp:image id="2988" /></a>
</txp:if_article_image>Where id=“2988” is the image you would like to use.
Does that help?

If there is no article image, the tag just grabs the first one in the list. The default value for sort in <txp:images> is name asc, so I assume it’s the first one when ordered alphabetically.

Re: <txp:image_info /> strange behavior or default behavior?
Could it be related to nested tags/apostrophes? I mean shouldn’t this part
id='<txp:image_info type='id'/>'
actually be
id='<txp:image_info type="id"/>'
In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links

Nope. Changing that still displays the first id in the sort order. (Try adding sort="id desc" to the images tag for instance.)
