Using a custom field as an attribute

Hi,

I am using the vdh_flickr plugin, which is fantastic, but I want to to be able to display thumbnails for an article simply by putting the set number into a custom field. Ideally like this…

<code> <txp:vdh_flickr_thumbnails nsid=“76871213@N00” set=”<txp:custom_field name=“flickrSet” />” open=“window” random=“3” /> </code>

Obvisouly, I can’t use a txp tag as an attribute, but I know this can be done with raw php. I wouldn’t have a clue where to start – could anyone help?

thanks

scott

Re: Using a custom field as an attribute

<txp:php>

echo vdh_flickr_thumbnails(array(
	'nsid'   => '76871213@N00',
	'open'   => 'window',
	'random' => 3,
	'set'    => custom_field(array('name' => 'flickrSet'))
));

</txp:php>

:)

Re: Using a custom field as an attribute

This seems to be a common request. I know I would love to be able to nest codes without touching PHP. Could this be handled by a plugin?
