My guess is that the code on your page is not quite right, could you post that? The forms look OK to me.

(I can’t figure out how to turn on and off the code highlighting – sorry)

You can use bc. for a single code block (without blank lines). If you need to show blank lines in the code, like in your example, you can use bc.., but you need to escape that by starting a new paragraph with p.. Don’t add a new line after the ., just a space.

Edit: if you don’t need all the advantages that colak mentioned of having the images in the db, there is nothing wrong with doing it your way.

Here is my code for the Portfolio page template:

<div id="content">
		   <h3>Portfolio</h3>
		   <txp:article form="portfolio_single_article" limit="1" />
           </div>
           <div id="sidebar">
		   <h4>Recent Projects</h4>
			<txp:article_custom section="portfolio" form="portfolio_thumbs" />
	    </div>

Here is my portfolio_single_article form (type=article):

<txp:article_image />
<dl>
	<dt>CLIENT</dt>
	<dd><txp:custom_field name="client" /></dd>
	<dt>DETAILS</dt>
	<dd><txp:custom_field name="details" /></dd>
	<dt>ROLE</dt>
	<dd><txp:custom_field name="role" /></dd>
</dl>
<div class="link"><a class="button" href="<txp:custom_field name="url" />" target="_blank">VIEW SITE</a></div>

Here is the portfolio_thumbs form (type=article):

<txp:if_first_article><ul id="portfolio"></txp:if_first_article>
	<li><a class="opacity" href="<txp:permlink />"><txp:excerpt /></a></li>
<txp:if_last_article></ul></txp:if_last_article>

The portfolio page looks fine “www.helpshack.com/test/portfolio” but when I click on a thumbnail I lose the images. Maybe I’m doing something wrong on the article pages? On the articles I have the custom fields then under Article Image I am writing (exactly) images/roman_lg.jpg and under Excerpt (for thumbnails) <img src=“images/roman_thumb.gif”>. Am I calling them incorrectly?

Kind of jumping in here Christina. Be nice if we could see a site but for the image tags in the excerpt try using a full path which means it should work wherever you are in the site. Also, for validation, your image tags should have an “alt” attribute and also be “closed” so try something like:-

<img src="<txp:site_url />images/roman_thumb.gif" alt="" />

Change <img src="images/roman_thumb.gif"> to
<img src="<txp:site_url />images/roman_thumb.gif">

Right now it works on the Portfolio page but when I click one of the thumbnails the images aren’t there. I have tried changing my image tags to <img src="<txp:site_url />images/roman_thumb.gif"> but then they wouldn’t even show on the Portfolio page.

Note: I just previewed this message and when I clicked on my above link I could not see the images. However, when I view the page in Textpattern (View Site) they are there. I apologize if this is so hard to follow.

Yippeee! It is working now! I had to change <img src="<txp:site_url />images/roman_thumb.gif"> to <img src="http://www.helpshack.com/test/images/roman_thumb.gif"> and everything works great. Thank you for helping out so much.
