can I display all images in a category?

Hi there,

After several failed starts I’ve finally got my teeth into txp.

I’ve been following a number of tutorials and I’ve nearly achieved what I would like to. However…

What I am trying to produce is a series of case studies for my portfolio. (these would be articles).
Each article would be accessed by clicking on a corresponding thumbnail.

And that’s as far as I’ve got.

The final part is where I get stuck.
What I would like is a set images showing screenshots of the case study that I can then show/hide with css & JavaScript.

My problem is this: I can not find anywhere how to list all images in a category (NOT thumbnails the actual images)

I’ve been using this tutorial so far
An example of the effect I would like to achieve can be seen on kemie’s portfolio

Many thanks for any help you maybe able to give.

Alex

Take a peek at the image_index and image_display tags.

thanks Mary but those are the tags I’ve been trying all ready

However what I have found is that the image_index tag only returns a list of thumbnails and the image_display tag relies on the image_index tag to display an image. Or am I doing soming wrong?
What I think I need is a tag that will out put all full size images within an image category.

But if that’s not possible then I think I might try something using the wet_thumbfilter plugin and see if that gets the results I need.

cheers

If you don’t need thumbnails, an ugly workaround would be to upload the full images as thumbnails.

Or you can have a look at zem_article_image, but this would mean that you don’t use image categories but assign several images to an article. You could probably achieve what you want doing this.

thanks els,
The zem_artical_image might just be the solution I have to go with.
cheers

Oh thanks Kemie

Can I ask you one point about your site? How do you manage the show/hide of different screenshots through txp?

Many thanks
