Image in Link
Hi, I’m planning on using TXP’s link manager to create a list of games and a list of music!
How can I get an image inside a link?

Re: Image in Link
I think you mean attach an image of a product or music to your link? Some ideas:
- Use upm_textile to parse the link description and link to your image manually using textile in the description.
- place the ID-number of a previously-uploaded image in the link description and use one of the search and replace plugins like rah_replace or pax_grep to replace it with an image link.
- Abuse the sort-order field for storing the image-ID number to create a link as above (using wet_linkinfo).
- If you want to show the target website, you can use a service like snap shot.

Re: Image in Link
Just use any of link fields to store image id. After this you can get image with, for example, smd_gallery…

Re: Image in Link
Or just put the html tag for the image in the description field (<img src="blah" />) and use <txp:link_descripion escape="" /> to display it.

Okies so I’ve gone with Els one, because it seemed the most simple and powerful of the lot!
Here is my code for the actual link form:
<li><a title="<txp:link_name />" href=""><txp:link_description escape="" /></a></li>
How do I get it so that my images have a link on them, I don't want any titles appearing, just the image?~ Cameron

You could put the image id in description field or even the name field and then update your form with something like this.
<li><a title="<txp:link_name />" href="<txp:link_url />">
<txp:image id='<txp:link_description escape="" />'/>
</a></li>Or are you just missing <txp:link_url /> from your code?

Re: Image in Link
I come with this idea (not tested, may fail), that may look like a hack:
In in any link field:
For example, in the link title field:
Textpattern.com <txp:variable name="link_image" value="XX" /> where XX is a valid ID for an image upload on TXP interface.
Or in the link description field:
<txp:variable name="link_image" value="XX" /> <!-- where XX is a valid ID for an image upload on TXP interface -->
... and here you can put a description text + HTML...Then, if you used the txp:variable inside the title (aka link_name) in the linklist form (or inside a wrapping linklist):
<txp:link_name />
<a href="<txp:link_url />"><txp:image id='<txp:variable name="image_link" />' /></a>When txp:link_name is parsed, the variable should be created, and then used immediately right below, as an attribute for txp:image…
Can someone test this, please? Thanks.
Then, when you

This is the same as what Ghost or I suggested above, but sacrifices the ability to have a description.
Not tried maniqui’s solution. It will depend on whether the title/name is actually parsed.
