I need to use <txp:thumbnail /> whithout having to assign an id=""
I, I’m using <txp:article form=“default” listform=“excerpt” />, because it is a newspaper. So at the front-page list I want to apear only the “excerpt” form. whereas at the article form=“default” one gets the full article with the “normal size” image.
The problem is that I want to have a default “excerpt” form with <txp:thumbnail />, so it can show the specific thumbnail of that specific article image.
I just cant do it. It needs me to put an <thumbnail id=“number of the article image”/>.
But that way I cannot have a form to work with any article. I have always to put the specific image id on it!
Is there anyway of puting the <txp:thumbnail /> automaticaly getting, by default, the specific thumbnail of the image shown at the “default” form of a specific article?
Or, if not, is there any plugin? Does bau_article_thumb do it?
Thanks

Try wet_article_thumb.
Wrap your code in < code > < /code > tags to display it on this forum (without the spaces).

Ok, this is my “Headlines” form code. It is suposed to show a supertitle, title, a brief description of the article, and a small thumbnail of the article photo. When one clicks the title, the page will be redirected to the complete article page.
<code>
<STYLE type=“text/css”>
.abovetitle { color: red; font-size: 70%; font-weight: bold; }
.title a { color: #0066CC; font:arial ; font-size: 100%; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; }
.superlead { color: black; font-size: 100%; }
</STYLE>
<p></p>
<p><SPAN class=“abovetitle “><txp:custom_field name=“custom1” /></span></p>
<p><SPAN class=“title a”> <txp:permlink> <txp:title /> </txp:permlink> </span></p>
<p><SPAN class=“superlead”> <txp:custom_field name=“custom2” /> </span> </p>
<txp:thumbnail id=“5” />
</code>
As you can see, i have to assign a specific image number to the thumbnail, otherwise, it won’t show any image at all ! The problem is that this way I cannot have a default form for all articles. I have allways to assign a specific thumbnail id for every diferent article !

<txp:thumbnail /> is no good for this. Install the plugin wet_article_thumb and use the tag that goes with it.

Ok, I’ve installed wet_article_thumb, and used the <txp:wet_article_thumb/>.
But it still does not show any image when on a article list.
This is the form of the article when it appears on a list:
<code>
<STYLE type=“text/css”>
.abovetitle { color: red; font-size: 70%; font-weight: bold; }
.title a { color: #0066CC; font:arial ; font-size: 100%; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; }
.superlead { color: black; font-size: 100%; }
</STYLE>
<p></p>
<p><SPAN class=“abovetitle “><txp:custom_field name=“custom1” /></span></p>
<p><SPAN class=“title a”> <txp:permlink> <txp:title /> </txp:permlink> </span></p>
<p><SPAN class=“superlead”> <txp:custom_field name=“custom2” /> </span> </p>
<txp:wet_article_thumb/>
<code/>
Do you think anything is missing on my form code. Or should I put any info about the thumb on the page?
Thanks for helping

Are you sure that
- you have a space before the closing slash in
<txp:wet_article_thumb />? - you assigned the article image in the right way? In the article image field should be either the id (5) or the image name (image.jpg).
- you activated the plugin?
- you are pointing to the right form in your article tag?
If you can’t find anything else you overlooked, then you’d better ask in the plugin thread.

Hi,
Thanks again. Your very kind!
Its done !!!
I was not assigning the image on the article image field the way I should.
It was a simple and acurate suggestion! I was putting /images/5.jpg. The image appeared on the estended article but the thumb did not apear on the listed articles!
Thanks
