Hi sangalo.

You can try this:

in your frontpage (default) template:

<txp:article form="justtheimage" />

Create an article form named justtheimage with this:

<txp:article_image />

Also, check this:

i did that but no images showed up ….. What i want is to list the top 3 latest articles with the images on the front page and have them linked to the full article when user clicks on image they are taken to the article associated with the image….///

Am a new TXP user so bear with me….

Thanks !!

Hi!
I’ve used this trick in my webpage and it works fine but it seems to give some problems: I have 3 columns, the first one contains a menu with the pictures linking to the articles (as per above code), a central default page for my posts and a third column with a search box.
When I make a search using the search box, it returns correctly the results in the default section AND AT THE SAME TIME it replaces the above code, replacing the pictures with the results of my search… how come?
Thanks

You probably have two article tags (in the first two columns). You can change the one in the first column to something like this:

<txp:if_search>
<!-- nothing here, or something completely different -->
<txp:else />
<txp:article form="justtheimage" />
</txp:if_search>

that’s what I have written:

<txp:sitename /><br />
<a href=”<txp:link_to_home />” title=”<txp:sitename />”><txp:site_slogan /></a>
</div>

<txp:article form=“justtheimage”/>

<!— end #title —>

Normally it displays the article related image, but if I make a search, it displays only the results, while I want it to be a static menu…

The search uses the <txp:article /> tag, so if you have two of them, it will use both. You could replace the one you want to be static with <txp:article_custom />, you’d have to specify the section and category though (txp:article_custom)

I don’t really get it… How can I achieve something like this: www.nordljus.co.uk?

I’d like to create a side menu with the article related image, linking to the article itself. is there a plugin or a tag I must use to achieve such a result?

Thanks!

You can do this without plugin.

On your page, in the left column:

<ul>
<txp:article form="justtheimage" />
</ul>

Form ‘justtheimage’:

<li>
<txp:permlink><txp:article_image thumbnail="1" /></txp:permlink>
</li>

To prevent this list from changing when you’re displaying search results, you can have the search use it’s own section. You’ll find instructions on how to achieve this in this article by zem.

Thanks Els!
I’ve tried what you suggested but still when I click on the various categories on my menu, the result is the same: the gallery will be display only the images from that very same category…

Any other way to solve this problem?

Thanks!

Ah, I’m sorry, I didn’t understand you wanted it to be the same everywhere. The <txp:article /> tag is context sensitive, so it will display articles from the section/category currently viewed. Try changing to <txp:article_custom /> for your left column. If you only want to display article thumbnails from a certain section there, you’ll have to use the attribute section.
