question about permlinks and forms

This is probably a simple problem but I’m a bit confused by it.

I have a gallery page for my portfolio site that uses the form “showcase” to display article images and articles.
Like this:
<txp:if_individual_article> <txp:article limit=“1” section=“showcase” />
<txp:else />
<txp:article limit=“1” form=“showcase” status=“sticky”/>
</txp:if_individual_article>

Within the same page there is another nav panel with the article image thumbs that allows you to view the different pieces/articles.
<txp:permlink>
<txp:article_image thumbnail=“1” wraptag=“li” />
</txp:permlink>

The problem is that when you use the thumbnail navigation it doesnt seem to use the showcase form to display the associated articles -even though its in the same section.

Do i need to add something to the thumbnail permlinks?

click on a thumb to the right to see an example:

Re: question about permlinks and forms

I think you need to replace the section attribute with form:

<txp:article limit="1" form="showcase" />

The section attribute can’t be used in the <txp:article /> tag, because the tag is context sensitive, and therefore will always display the article(s) from the current section.
