The best way to make an archive section only with thumbnails ... !?
Hello,
I’m working on a site that’s very simple … well, more or less > http://www.mariaberkhout.nl/txp/
Every article (no title) is a very large image … nothing more. Now I want on the archive page thumbnails of those very large images from left to right and from top to bottom … no whitespace. Every thumbnail is a permlink to the article itself. Can I do this with only txtpattern tags? Which ones? Or do I need a plugin … and which one will that be?
Thanks for giving me a little push … :)

You can do it in a myriad of ways. Even only with txp tags.
Sorry now I have no time to elaborate, but rest assured it’s doable

How about this (from the top of my head, so not tested)
Articleform:
<txp:permlink><txp:article_image thumbnail=“1” /></txp:permlink> <— I wonder if this is the correct way to display a thumbnail, so be careful!
Page form:
<txp:article limit=“40” />
CSS
container for images { width: xxx px; }
img { float: left; margin: 0; padding: 0; }

Taken from a live example. On the page I put:
<txp:if_article_list>
<txp:article listform="single_thumbnail" limit="99" sort="Posted asc" />
</txp:if_article_list>form “single_thumbnail” containing:
<txp:if_custom_field name="shown_in_gallery" val="no"> // In case there are articles belonging to no gallery. (Categories were occupied yet.)
<txp:else />
<a href="<txp:permlink />" title="Opens the full size version of «<txp:title" />»" class="orange"><txp:article_image class="thumb" thumbnail="1" /></a>
</txp:if_custom_field>Edit: typo.

OK, this is what I did. The site > http://www.mariaberkhout.nl/txp/
On section ‘large’:
<txp:article_custom form="notitle" limit="1" />
On section ‘small’:
<txp:article_custom section="large" listform="thumbs" limit="40" />
In listform ‘thumbs’:
<a href="<txp:permlink />" title="Opens the full size version!"><txp:article_image class="thumb" thumbnail="1" /></a>
Does it work? Allmost … :)( … because all images and thumbnails are on their landingpage … :) … but the permlink of each thumbnail goes to the same image … :( … even so the title and url are correct … !? What I’m doing wrong and don’t understand?

I think you need to use <txp:article /> instead of <txp:article_custom /> for section ‘large’.
Edit: for clarification: for individual article display always use txp:article, because it is context sensitive. article_custom will just give you the first article that satisfies the condition(s) given by it’s attributes.

Els, thanks!
Something else … on http://www.mariaberkhout.nl/txp/php?s=large I get a textpattern error:
TAG ERROR: <TXP:LINK_TO_NEXT SHOWALWAYS="1"> -> TEXTPATTERN NOTICE: ARTICLE TAGS CANNOT BE USED OUTSIDE AN ARTICLE CONTEXT ON LINE 1964
This tag (and the prev tag!) are used in the nav. Is there an alternative?

You can use them on the page, you just have to wrap them in <txp:if_individual_article> tags.
