HI everyone, i have a problem that i need to reach the thumbnail that was uploaded with the article, ot print it in a specific palce in the page according to my design.I used the code "{$thing:item|attribute(show)}" to knwo the object's attributes and found somethign called thumbnail as an attribute, but i couldn't print it out using "{$thing:item.thumbnail}", and the debug told me that there is nothing named thumbnail as an attribute of the object.
Do any body have any idea of hwo to know the attribute name and how print it out?Sincerely

With Thumbnail you mean an image? Right? You know it might also be an image size. Well if it is an image then use this to display it.
{* Check to see if there is an actual image *} {section show=$node.data_map.thumbnail.content.is_valid} {* There is an image display it *} {attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.thumbnail image_class=small}{/section}
OR alternatively you could use {section show=$node.data_map.thumbnail.content.is_valid} <img src={$node.data_map.thumbnail.content.small.url|ezroot} />{/section}
Note: "small" is an image filter used to resize the image to size small, i.e. image_class=small and content.SMALL.url, could very well be content.large.url depending upon your filters defined in override/image.ini.append

Hi Tore please let me thank you it took a day long from me searching this. it worked and in a great manner but heythat will lead me to ask you about something else which is :- how to devide up the rest of attributes, and how to get the list of diff attributes and know how to extract them from the database

Hi
You're welcome, sound like you should read some docs thought. Check out the good EZ tutorial at: http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/toc/(from)/36647. If only something like that had been available when I started.
In order to show attributes the function attributte_view_gui is very nice, simply in your node templates do: {attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.ATTRIBUTENAME}. Alternatively you can access the "direct" content with: {$node.data_map.ATTRIBUTENAME.content}.
