Can I get image id number from a custom field?
Hello guys,
I’m trying to achieve to pull an image id from a custom field, but I don’t have much luck so far.
The code in my article type form:
<p><a href="<txp:permlink />"><txp:image id="<txp:custom_field name="main_page_image" />" /></a></p>Could it work at all?
If not, how can I implement displaying an image of the article on the home page of a website, but not using article image for this purpose?
Thanks in advance

that code won’t work on anything other than the development version. Is there any reason you can’t use the article image field under advanced options for that article instead — as that would avoid the need to resort to php in your form?
If you want to go with a the custom field you could try this (it’s a brain-dump — not tested)…
<p><a href="<txp:permlink />">
<txp:php>
$atts = array( 'id' => custom_field( array( 'name'=>'main_page_image' ) ) );
echo image( $atts );
</txp:php>
</a></p>…but I’ve probably overlooked something. Hope that helps.

Under TXP 4.0.6 and lower, tags-inside-tags don’t work too well (4.0.7 fixes that, yay!)
You will probably need to locate a copy of the plugin asy_wondertag and surround your tag-in-tag with that:
<a href="<txp:permlink />">
<txp:asy_wondertag>
<txp:image id="<txp:custom_field name="main_page_image" />" />
</txp:asy_wondertag>
</a>EDIT: or net-carver’s solution. Or try the upm_image plugin which might help you approach it from a nother angle (I don’t know, I’ve never used it but have heard great things about it)

Net-carver and Bloke: many many thanks guys, your recommendations work superb!
I didn’t realize that a tag in an attribute is not the same as giving custom field for html tags :P
Many thanks again, especially for the hyper-quick answers! :)))))

you’re welcome. Bloke’s suggestion about using the wondertag plugin is a better way to do it than the php.
Note to self — wondertag — wondertag — wondertag!
