How can one template display different pictures on different pages?

Hello,

I am trying to build MODx Evolution as a backend behind this www.soepeldoordebocht.nl website for a client. Ik want to use the same template for the whole site, but as you can see, this website uses different pictures in the sidebar on every page. Is it possible to achieve this with the same template? Or should I create a different template for every page? It doesn’t seem logic to me to create about 7 different templates for such a small website.

Thanx in advance!

Yea, just use a TV (Template Variable) for the sidebar image and you can change it per page.

You can simply use a template variable to hold the image for each document.
Then in your template you just note [tt][*mySideBarImage*][/tt] or whatever you named you TV.

EDIT: sorry, AMDbuilder was quicker

Thanx guys, going to have a look at this stuff

I have just created a Template Variable for the use of pictures in the sidebar and I’ve put the correct placeholder in the template’s code. Now I want to insert the pictures through the TV, each image linked to the correct page.

I just found this http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/Template_Variable_Holds_an_Image help page in the MODx Wiki, which suggests that I should link my pictures right from the TV manager with an insert button.

But I can’t find this button in my TV manager (using MODx Evolution 1.0). Is there any other way to link my pictures to my newly created TV?

Make sure that you’ve choosen the template in the TV settings (tick it) to enable the TV for that template.
If so, in any document you’re editing using the template, you should see the TV as a field giving you the option to insert an image via the Filebrowser of MODx.
You can also upload an image at this point.
