What I mean is, to set up your ViewTemplate, e.g. <div macro='tiddler GetThumb'></div>
...wherever you want the image. Then some GetThumb would identify what tiddler we are in... var tid = story.findContainingTiddler( place ); tid = tid ? tid.getAttribute( 'tiddler' ) : ''; ...and see if it either had a field or hidden slice called *image-thumb* or *image-full *and render it at the appropriate place, if it is set. That content actually could be more than just an image. Here's how the script would read it from a slice: var img = store.getTiddlerText(tid + '::myImgSlice'); or getting from a field... var img = store.getValue( tid ,'fieldname'); ...eventually doing something like... if(img) wikify( img , place); The entire script should look somewhat like this... *[[GetThumb]]* var tid = story.findContainingTiddler( place ); tid = tid ? tid.getAttribute( 'tiddler' ) : ''; var img = store.getTiddlerText(tid + '##THUMB'); if(img) wikify( img , place); If you call *GetThumb* from your ViewTemplate or a conditional ViewTemplate (TaggedTemplateTweak) it should render the contents whenever a tiddler had a hidden *thumb* section: /% !THUMB *[img[path/to/my/thumb.jpg]]* !END%/ * * Cheers, Tobias.
