txp:article_image as background
Hi there,
I’m trying to use the convenient article image tag to display it as a background.
Something like this:
<div style="background-image:url(<txp:article_image thumbnail="0"/>)">
Of course, it doesn’t work, since the output is something like:
<div style="background-image:url(<img src="image.gif" title="" alt="" height="" width="" />)">
How can I get rid of all the html tags and get only the image article url?
Thanks for help.

Re: txp:article_image as background
I think you have two options:
- Use upm_image (a more powerful image display that lets you use custom forms and I’m pretty sure that it lets you output just the URL of the image)
- Do it by using a custom field.

Re: txp:article_image as background
yes!
<txp:upm_article_image><txp:upm_img_full_url /></txp:upm_article_image> returns the article image url only. I always try to avoid plugins, but sometimes you have to!
