Using an articles images name instead of id

On the write tab where you enter the article image is it possible to use an images name as defined in the images tab?

I’m trying to move away from using IDs and using the images ID as its filename for article images. e.g images/23.jpg

Yes, once way to do it is to change the way you pull in the contents of the article_image field:

<txp:if_article_image>
   <txp:images name='<txp:custom_field name="article_image"/>' />
</txp:if_article_image>

You can list names too using that code in your article form.

Excellent that’s just what I needed to know, thanks Stef. Now I just need to figure out a way to implement it without breaking backwards compatibility for all the article images I’ve used with IDs.

Adi_matrix might be of help to change those entries.

For future forum researches:
Linking to a topic in that several posters improved means of embedding images with their original file names for SEO reasons.
