<txp:image category="x" limit="x" />
Hi, is there a way to achieve that? Seems like basic stuff that should be bult-in but I’ve been scratching my head for a good hour, looking at plugins & such, trying to find the simplest / leanest way to do it.
Any advice? Thanks in advance,
B.

Hi Benoit, I’m not sure as to what exactly you are trying to achieve.
Would the category tag help? <txp:category type="image" />. There is no limit attribute to it though. Alternatively you could use the excellent smd_gallery plugin which would provide you with all the options you need.

image_index, but it will give you only the thumbnails. Have a look at wet_for_each_image.

As colak, I would suggest you to use the superb smd_gallery. Any “built-in” method (if exists) is probably far less flexible than anything you could achieve with smd_gallery.

This tip may help, as it uses wet_for_each_image that Els alluded to and is category based. Although it uses Galleriffic, you could adapt it quite easily to your needs.

Thank you all for the replies! – will take a look at your suggestions.
Would the category tag help? <txp:category type=“image” />.
Thanks colak; looks like I’ve been thinking about it backwards ;-P
Too bad about the limit attribute not working, though.

Yay! Got it to work with wet_for_each_image:
<txp:wet_for_each_image category="<txp:custom_field name="img_category" />" limit="2" /><txp:image id="{id}" /></txp:wet_for_each_image>Thanks, everyone :-)
