Displaying specific images Can't Post
Hi Guys,

By default, LM names images as $listing_num$_1.jpg / _2.jpg etc.

However, clients tend to add photos, change them, delete them etc, so you have the ability through the admin to say which one you want a "Preview", as "Image #1, Image #2" etc

Is there anyway I can refer to these specific images?

In a printed page, I refer directly to $listing_num$_1.jpg, $listing_num$_2.jpg, $listing_num$_3.jpg, $listing_num$_4.jpg.

However, I need to show $listing_num$_"Image #1.jpg, $listing_num$_"Image #2.jpg etc.


ie.
http://www.sydneyresidential.com.au/listman/listings/l0001.html has a bunch of images, however the print friendly page doesn't http://www.sydneyresidential.com.au/listman/exec/search.cgi?view=1&template=_search_results_window4.html

Hi Tim,

The only way to display the images in the order that they're set in the admin side of the software is to use the "image" template cell on your templates. There isn't a way to refer to these image slots specifically on your template files.

Let us know if you have any other questions. Smile

Re: [Jake] Displaying specific images [In reply to] Can't Post
OK - how about this then...

I am trying to get a single large image in one row, then three smaller images in the following row.

I can get the 3 small images using the "display in columns" tutorial, however;

1. Can I format the first image to have a different container than the following images (ie. <td colspan=3>), and
2. Can I get the template to stop displaying images after 4 images.

I think it would be something like the below - but I've got no idea on authoring this kind of thing;

<script>

if (count % 1 == 2) {
document.write("first image"), else
document.write("2nd, 3rd or 4th image")

if (count % 4 == 0) {
document.write("STOP THE PROCESS");
}
count++;

</script>

Can anyone help?

Hi Toledoh,

Would something like this work for you?

The end result of this tutorial looks like this:

I got it...

Code
<!-- templatecell : image --> 
 
 
<script>   
  
if (count > 0 && count < 4) {   
   document.write("<td><img src='$listing_url$/images/$thumbnail$'  width=230 height=173 border=0></td>");   
}  
count++;  
  
</script> 
 
<!-- /templatecell : image -->

Basically, this says to display the image if it's image number 2, 3 or 4. Prior to this image cell, I've the "hero" image number 1, then underneath it a table and row.... works a treat so far
