Preview image - BLOG

Hi all,

I'm currently designing a website for a clothing lable named "mostly official". It's an collective of artists and Dj's.

For the "mosly movement" page, I'm planning to use a blog.
Is there a way to preview images on the page where the posts are listed? Look at the example for a better idea.

Thanks in advance!
I'm sorry for my bad English but my native language is Dutch.
Kind regards
Simon

This can be achieved with template variables, and getResources.

http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/getResources

Steps would be:

• Create template variable of image type, give it access to the template used for the resource.
• Pop into resource and select image that is required for this resource.
• Go to parent container, and put in geResources call, specifying the relevant information for it to function (parent, limit, includeTVs, template chunk name e.t.c)
• Create template chunk and included reference to TV.

I do a similar thing on my portfolio

Great!
this is exactly what I was looking for. To bad there isn't a detailed tutorial to achieve what I want.
As alot of the users of modx, I'm a designer, not a programmer, so it's a bit hard to understand what you're talking about. A bit help would be appreciated.

Anyway! Thanks a lot! Beautiful website Greame!
I'll try my best with the info you gave!

Well, if you ever get stuck, drop me an email, always willing to help out others, and I have pretty quick turnaround times!

Glad you like the site, my new one is going live in a week or two, much "fresher"

P.S Maybe I could do a screen cast of making this solution perhaps...

Yeah you could, but make sure you have enough time for your assignments first.
Work comes first.

I'll drop you an e-mail if I get stuck (wich will be the case).

Fresh sounds good. Your current site is fresh aswell but a bit dark.

Can't wait till the result! Keep me posted!
