Hi Tim,

You are looking for %asset_thumbnail_v_<variety_name>%. More of the keywords can be found here.

If you were using an asset listing with an Image type format you would use:


    %image_v__url%

That is straight from the manuals. How are you trying to use this?

What Nic said. And also the keyword for the url is : %image_v_<variety_name>_url%. Is any other keyword for the image variety working for you from the manuals page?

Hi Ash

I'm using it within an asset listing to show the variety image of the thumnail for a news item. I wanted to align the variety image to the right by something like this: <img src="%image_v<variety_name>url%" align="right" />

But the only way I can get the image to display is using this keyword %asset_thumbnail_v<variety_name>% - but then I can't add the align code.

So to do it I ended up creating a new class in the css.



I suspect the reason it's not working is because when I went from %asset_thumbnail_v_<variety_name>% to %image_v_<variety_name>url% the reference to the thumbnail is lost so matrix doesn't know to look at the thumbnail of the asset. I could see this keyword %image_v<variety_name>url% working if I was just printing a list images, but because the images that I want to print are connected to assets as thumbnails - then this keyword %image_v<variety_name>url% isn't working.



So what I'm after is something like: %asset_thumbnail_v<variety_name>_url%. I tried a few different combos but nothing worked



Thanks anyway

Yeah, there isn't a %asset_thumbnail_v<variety_name>_url% keyword unfortunately. If I were you, I would always have the image as a child of the news item, then you can use list_current_asset_id for a great amount of flexibility that you are needing here.

Yeah? I was basing my comment off of the manuals (http://manuals.matrix.squizsuite.net/keyword-replacements/chapters/image/), don't think I tested it myself.
