Hi all,

I've run into what may be an undocumented feature, but wanted to ask about
it anyway.

I'm on 2.2.2 (expecting to upgrade to 2.3.0 any minute now) and want to
display the image from an article. The image field is called
'teaser_image'.

The template looks like this:

The output, however, includes an entire table for the image:

alt="RDFW bunker" BORDER=0 HSPACE=5 VSPACE=5>

RDFW bunker

Seeing as I'm trying to avoid tables at all costs, I want to suppress all
this junk. But how?

Don't display images from article fields, instead use template language:

Actually, I'm trying to follow the manual in Section 3.5.3 "Including
Images in the Section Listing," where it advises:

As seen above, the sectiontemplate.tpl will always pull information out of
the database and display it in a list format. If we have images included
in the article, they will appear on the article page, but how can we
display an individual, small image for one article in the section listing?
The answer is quite simple. Create a body field in your Article Type that
will only contain the image that goes into the section listing. Let's say
we call this variable 'sectionimage'. Then all you need to add in the
section listing to display the image is:

This will then generate the HTML code as saved in the database. And in our
case that means it will create the image tag including the image. You
could even generate a little subtitle for the image in this field when
entering the article text and images.

What I want to do is display the article's image on the front page - not
its text - if the 'display on front page' checkbox is ticked. So I presume
the template language statement would include first an If statement for
whether the article is on the front page, but how do I tell the parser the
number of the photo, when this will be changing?

Yes, this is an old example but it's not the only way and maybe not the best
way.

Now, you'll have to come up with a convention like: "all images that are to be
displayed on the front page will have the number 100".

The image number is like a label, it's just that you can't name them with words
but you have to use numbers. Think of it this way: number 1 is for displaying
together with article short intro on the front page, number 10 is thumbnail for
headlines (when you display a list of article headlines in a RSS feed), 20 and
up are for use in article body fields.

Thanks Mugur,

I'll try something like this, and will keep you posted. I've also added
your response to Campsite's DocMint documentation for 3.5.3. The DocMint
site is quite nice, by the way, and other Campsite users would be well
advised to check it out.
