Re: can zem_article_image be used to make linked thumbs?
You want to do http://www…..com/index.php?id=3<strong>&</strong>p=4 There should only be one <strong>?</strong> in the url. If you know the site will be using messy mode you can pretty safely append it with just the &p=6 as long as you are linking to a page with a query string (it has a ? already)

Re: can zem_article_image be used to make linked thumbs?
I guess this is what I get for practicing in php without a license. Thanks for the tip. I have the links working (although the set upsis a bit sluggish).
Still, I can’t seem to figure out how either to:
1. pass a p parameter to the initial page (obviously <code><txp:display_image></code> doesn’t pick up article image like <code><txp:article_image></code> does, and having both on the page gives me two images when I go to select a detail) or
2: set up a link to the same page with <code><a href=”<txp:permlink />&p=<txp:custom_field name=“image_2_id” />”>2</a></code> that relodes the page with a different form (one that swaps out <code><txp:article_image></code> for <code><txp:display_image></code>).

Use <txp:hak_article_image /> with the urloverride attribute. It’s designed exactly for this. So just drop <txp:hak_article_image urloverride="1" /> in your article form. It will pull the image specified by p if it is present otherwise it will use the first article image.

Re: can zem_article_image be used to make linked thumbs?
I have gotten fairly far on this. I even hacked zem_article_image to output multiple images as a list linked to the appropriate <code>p</code> values (much better then using 8 custom fields).
The only issue. The page was running upm_img_popper which gave me captions. But now that it using <code><txp:hak_article_image urloverride=“1” /></code> captions don’t seem to work. I have tried using a bit of php to call up the caption but even though I have gotten zem_article_image to output captions with <code>$caption</code> in the past, getting the page to display the caption associated with <code><txp:hak_article_image urloverride=“1” /></code> seems a bit harder. Is there any way to interface hak_article_image urloverride=“1” with the caption feature of upm_img_popper? Or otherwise a pinch of Php that would output the proper caption value?

Okay, I figured this out. Basically gave up on urloverride in favor of a small content replacement javascript care of <a href=“http://www.alistapart.com/articles/imagegallery”>ala</a>. Re-hacked zem_article_image to output list in an appropriate way, and tada, it seems to work well (and much faster then reloading the page for each detail image).

Re: can zem_article_image be used to make linked thumbs?
Yeah the javascript method is much better I thought about adding that in but I was starting to think I was getting into rss_thumb_pop territory. I originally wrote the plugin just to give zem_article_image the ability to create popups from the thumbnails. Pretty much everything else was just added due to requests.
I’ll have to check about the caption though as that would make sense to make available.
