thumbnails filtered by a custom field

Hello,
On this page http://saperlotte.fr/bijoux/bague-blanche (under construction) i have a product display.
Price, reference, dimensions, motif etc are output from custom fields.

Now what I want :
In the red box on the right, i would have object’s thumbnails based on current “Motif” (see “Motif : fleurs noires” line)
I don’t know how to filter this mini gallery image based on custom field

Can anyone help me ?

(btw, i have another problem on this page i will fix later with some help :))

Can you perhaps do something like this, using tags-in-tags:

<txp:images category='<txp:custom_field name="motif" />'>
   <txp:thubnail />
</txp:images>

EDIT: You may have to wrap it in if_custom_field tags to be safe, in case the custom field is empty.

Re: thumbnails filtered by a custom field

I thought about a solution like this

<txp:images category='<txp:custom_field name="Motif" />'> <txp:permlink><txp:smd_thumbnail type="aside" /></txp:permlink> </txp:images>

don’t work because i guess <txp:custom_field name="Motif" /> is not a category. I got no txp tag trace :(

Re: thumbnails filtered by a custom field

Some progress :

Defined somewhere in my module <txp:variable name="my_motif" value='<txp:custom_field name="Motif" />' />

Used it to display the “motif” in the product description with <dd>Motif : <txp:variable name="my_motif" /></dd>

And use of :

<aside>
    <txp:if_variable name="my_motif">
        <txp:images break=""><txp:permlink><txp:smd_thumbnail type="aside" /></txp:permlink></txp:images>
    </txp:if_variable>
</aside>

in the red box. A problem persists, i know i have two products with this motif but i get only one (the current displayed)

Any help ?

Re: thumbnails filtered by a custom field

tried

<txp:article_custom customfieldname='<txp:variable name="my_motif" />'>
    <txp:images break="" auto_detect=""><txp:permlink><txp:smd_thumbnail type="aside" /></txp:permlink</txp:images>
</txp:article_custom>

But no luck. Throw an error

<txp:article_custom customfieldname=’<txp:variable name=“my_motif” />’> -> Textpattern Notice: Attribut de balise inconnu : customfieldname on line 758

Re: thumbnails filtered by a custom field

You have to replace “customfieldname” with the name of your custom field.

You’re so *right*… I read documentation too fast

<txp:article_custom Motif='<txp:variable name="my_motif" />'>
    <txp:images break=""><txp:permlink><txp:smd_thumbnail type="aside" /></txp:permlink></txp:images>
</txp:article_custom>

Works perfectly. Today I learned txp:variable and reading slower. Thanks lazyadmin
