<txp:images /> usage and such
Hello all,
i am hoping that someone could help me with a situation that I am having with a website that I am building. I am using the <txp:images /> tag to display a series of images on a slide show on my homepage.
here is what I have:
<div id=“featureMain”> <div class=“slides”> <txp:images sort=“id asc” form=“slides” limit=“7” category=“GamePicts” /> </div> <div class=“navSlides”></div> </div>
Now GamePicts will contain parent categories of a series of matches. I want to be able to display the 7 latest pictures. The parent categories will , most likely be the match date, is the a sub-level tag that I can adto this tag? or is there something that I am missing?
Please help
Thanks

Hi
There is no children atribute to txp:images tag, then a workarround would be using txp:category_list
<txp:images sort=“id asc” form=“slides” limit=“7” category='<txp:category_list parent="GamePicts" break=","><txp:category /></txp:category_list>' />Cheers

Did you make sure to use straight quotes, not the curly ones posted by Dragondz? I just fixed the post to swap the quotes out. Apologies if you tried that and it’s some other issue with the code itself — I haven’t tried it.

Re: <txp:images /> usage and such
Thanks Bloke and Dragondz, I now have a visual but for some odd reason, the image are lowering themselves in the display
see here: www.hubcitybrewers.com/home
in my slides form here is what I have:
<div class=“slide”>
<txp:image />
</div>
and the class:
.slide { width:688px; height:361px; float:left;}
which was never a problem before, please help

there is extra br between each image!!
add
break="" to txp:imagesLast edited by Dragondz (2011-06-22 14:44:51)

You have a <br /> tag after each div. This is probably caused by the txp:images tag itself — the default is break="br" so you will have to use break="" to remove them.
EDIT: Dragondz was the nimbler typist :-)

Re: <txp:images /> usage and such
I did not want to start a new thread for a question related to< txp:images> or, to be more exact, to a simple gallery with thumbnails, something like here I play with . The code is this
<txp:images>
<txp:thumbnail id="5" poplink="1" />
<txp:image_info />
</txp:images>
and we see a thumbnail and if we click on it the full size image will pop up. The question is how to get the image title instead of its name like on the pic below:
This same question bothered me when I used rss_thumbpop which is very similar.
