Need to extract link to article & link to article's image
Hi,
i’m webmaster of a site under Txp : http://www.parkour-videos.com/
One video per page/article, with a description and a screenshot.
Links to the videos/articles are then often posted on forums, and sometimes on website.
What I would like is to incitate and make it easier to share the link by give them a permanent link to the article, the code to the article with a screenshot in HTML, and the code to the article with a screenshot in BBCode.
Let me show you an example :
http://www.koreus.com/media/tete-envers.html (click on “Ajouter à votre blog”)
Here is ~ what I would like :
<code>
Permanent link : http://www.parkour-videos.com/videos/excite-with-vigroux
HTML link + screenshot : <a href=“http://www.parkour-videos.com/videos/excite-with-vigroux” title=“Excite with Stephane Vigroux – Parkour-videos.com” target=”_blank”><img src=“http://www.parkour-videos.com/images/screenshots/excite-with-vigroux-TN-150-Parkour.NET.jpg” alt=“Screenshot Excite with Stephane Vigroux” /><br />Excite with Stephane Vigroux</a> – <a href=“http://www.parkour-videos.com” title=“Parkour-videos.com : Only GOOD Parkour videos” target=”_blank”>Parkour-videos.com</a>
BBCode link + screenshot : [.url. = http://www.parkour-videos.com/videos/excite-with-vigroux][img.]http://www.parkour-videos.com/images/screenshots/excite-with-vigroux-TN-150-Parkour.NET.jpg[/img]
Excite with Stephane Vigroux[/url] – [url.=http://www.parkour-videos.com/]Parkour-videos.com[/url]
</code>
- article’s title (ok : <code><txp:title /></code>)
- the link to the article (NOT ok. Only found that : <code><txp:permlink></code> but it generate the HTML code < a href = “… and with that… i don’t see how i could do)
- the link to the screenshot/picture associated with the article (NOT ok. Only found that : <code><txp:article_image /></code> which generate the complete code to display the picture : < img src = “… )
Any ideas ?!
Thanks by advance !

The permlink is output by <txp:permlink />. No clue about the article image.
Yes, I have tried turning it off and on.

Something like this?
<code>
<a href=”<txp:permlink />” title=”<txp:title /> – <txp:sitename />” target=”_blank”><txp:article_image /><br /><txp:title /></a></code>

Yes, sounds good/ok (thanks for it) but the problem will be for the BBCode. It’s why it would also be useful to be able to extract the link of the “article_image”.
If you have another idea…

Ah… you mean just the url… I suppose it can be done with php, but I don’t know how, sorry.

Re: Need to extract link to article & link to article's image
You might use upm_image to get the image URL with the help of a proper form:
Include this snippet into the article form:
<txp:upm_article_image form="any-name-here" />upm_article_image processes a user definable form with a choice of upm_image-specific tags, one of them being <txp:upm_img_full_url />. So, as a second step, define a misc form named according to the attribute’s value from the tag above (“any-name-here”) and with this content:
<txp:upm_img_full_url />Voilà!
