txp:thm_if_article tag not working consistantly

I’m trying to setup a 4 pseudo static pages in one section template.

Each Page needs a different header image.

I’m using thm_if_article plugin because it seems be the only conditional tag that enables me to link a block of code to an article ID. The problem is it’s only working for two of the four IDs?

<txp:thm_if_article article="78">
    <img src="<txp:output_form form="my_site_url" />img/header-image5.jpg" alt="Mum and son" width="650" height="171" />
</txp:thm_if_article>
<txp:thm_if_article article="79">
    <img src="<txp:output_form form="my_site_url" />img/header-image6.jpg" alt="Dad and daughter" width="650" height="171" />
</txp:thm_if_article>  
....  etc.

e.g. The first one fails and the second works fine???

This plugin is pretty old autum 2005 could that be it. Is there a better way to achieve this? I’m open to suggestions

edit: BTW the code is in the page template not in a form.

Hey Els, Ruhh,

I just wanted to thank you for your help and patience. It’s very embarrassing but i really did look??? but your link helped me to get things working.

For reference … for other noobs like me, I needed to place the conditional tag within the another conditional tag <txp:if_individual_article> because i was using them in the page template.

There also seems to be some ambiguity in textbook as to weather the id integer needs to be placed between quotation marks or not. I used quotation marks …. well cos it looks nicerer
