multiple article images
I think I’m right in thinking that txp will only display the one image associated with an article.
I need to be able to enter a coma separated list of image ids in the “Article Image” field and then display all those images when the article is displayed front end.
Is there a recommended plugin that will do that?

You shouldn’t need a plugin for this. Try investigating the <txp:images /> tag

Found upm_image plugin which seems to be what I’m looking for.

I did look at that tag but it doesn’t seem to do what I want it to do. It doesn’t list images associated with an article, without the id attribute it just lists all images. There doesn’t seem to be an attribute that specifies wether to list article images

Should you convert to core tags: for keeping a predefined order in your image sequence note this post

Re: multiple article images
Believe me when I say that <txp:images /> does everything that the upm_images plugin does. It is a very nice plugin but it is now redundant as I think you will find Mary agrees.

Ah ok, didn’t realise the “Article Image” field could be referenced with <txp:custom_field name=“article_image” /> .
That works, thanks

An example of multiple images in an article image field, and the txp:image tag being used to show them.
edit: Oops – sorry. Looks like I was slow on the post and you figured it out :)
