I can't work how to include a template variable.

I’m not a Modx guru, so I am struggling with some work I’m undertaking on a Modx site.

I am creating a new webpage template and I want to include a placeholder for a variable picture -
i.e. for each new page that I create I want to display a different picture in the placeholder.

I think I need to include a template variable to do this. But, I can’t work out how it all fits together.
And, I can’t find any documentation that tells me what I want (It’s been a long day...)

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Cheers!

You creata a template, and then you create a TV (in your case a TV with image input type),
then you HAVE to attach the TV to the template.

Now when you create a document/resource, you choose your template and the TV appears in
the TV tab for you or your client to fill...

If you need more basic info & tutorials, feel free to go to the website in my signature.

Elements -> Template variables -> Choose the image input type. Like said (^), make sure to tick the right template you want the TV to show up on.

Then edit your template, and where you want the image to show up, use the TV value in your <img> tag.


or in Evolution

Mark H. and Charliez, many thanks for your replys.

I’ve been away for a week, but had the chance to look at this again today. With your guidance, I have now set up the appropriate TV

Charliez, I’ve bookmarked your website for future reference.
