Well igot your question now actually i was running into it 2 times before
so here you are
You can do that in 2 ways
First if the image is uploaded with an article or an infopage:-
1-Fetch the node that represents the infopage or article
2- type in the following code

{* Check to see if there is an actual image *}
{section show=$news.item.data_map.thumbnail.content.is_valid}
{* There is an image display it *}
{attribute_view_gui attribute=$news.item.data_map.thumbnail image_class=large}
{/section}
{*class = large /medium/small that is the size of the generated output*}

or also you can use

{section show=$node.data_map.thumbnail.content.is_valid}
<img src={$node.data_map.thumbnail.content.small.url|ezroot} />
{/section}

Second way can be used if you don't need an article, or info page there is an object named image to be used , and use the previos stpes therei gues sit should work

let me know if that helped
BEst regards

Sim, the code does need to be placed in your template. Adding an image is actually really easy, as all you have to do is click the browse button when entering a new Article, Infopage etc. The first bit of code that John provided will check to see if there is an image associated with the object, if so it will display it in the way laid out in your template, thus ensuring consistency for all of your articles. One note, you may need to change <i>thumbnail</i> to the attribute identifier associated with the image in that class. I believe the default name for this attribute in an Infopage is <i>image</i>.

If you want to add an image in the middle of your text you will need to use the Related Objects box to the right of the text input area. If the image already exists in the Media area you can click on the magnifying glass icon to locate the one you want. If the image is not on the site click on the <i>New</i> button and upload the image. When you have finished one of those steps copy and past the object tag that is in that box (it should look a lot like the one in your original post).

So, with all of that said, you mentioned that the <i>object id</i> is that of the home page. Had you followed one of the two steps I noted above? If so, did you check to make sure that you selected the radio button next to the image you wanted? It may be that the default radio button is the home page which could cause the confusion. It may be best to go through the process again to make sure the right object is selected.

I just noticed a typo on my part in my earlier posting. It should read <i>the code does <b>not</b> need to be placed in your template</i> I am really sorry about that. I'm not sure where else you can look for an object ID if the code provided in the <i>Related Objects</i> box on the right side of the page provides the wrong ID. Hopefully someone else can chime in and help out?
