[solved] TXP and PHP questions

Hi,

Example code:

<txp:php>
global $thisarticle;
$article_image = $thisarticle[‘article_image’];
</txp:php>

Just curious how I would access the article image properties… for example, the above will return an ID, but what PHP can I use to get the URL or other values (caption, alt…) of that image ID?

Hmm, would I have to query the database with the image ID? If so, could someone post example code… or, even better, is there a good developer resource for looking these things up?

Related question: where can I look up TXP specific PHP functions and such… Is there a developer manual? How bout a plugin manual for developers?

Any help would be great!

Many thanks!
Cheers,
M

Dive into upm_image. It covers almost all aspects of accessing images and their properties in Textpattern.

Textpattern contains some libraries which might be helpful.

How bout a plugin manual for developers?

Start here. Don’t miss that.
