Sorry stupid question!

I've created my first field an image field called Main image which will live above the headline. I managed to create the field and add the field to the template. But nothing is showing?

What have I done wrong?

Hi sa_designer and welcome to the forums!

Images (and files) are little bit different from text-based fields. Here is topic which helps you forward: http://processwire.com/talk/index.php/topic,16.0.html and even more information from here: http://processwire.com/api/fieldtypes/images/

Also one way to show images are when using TinyMCE field - just click image field and choose the image. But best use is usually in templates.

Thanks, this doesn't really help me.

Welcome to the forums

Can you show us the code you're using in your front-end template file? Then we might be able to see what the issue is and point you in the right direction.

Welcome to forums, SA_DESIGNER

You should write  a couple of lines of code in your template to output your image.

Your code should go something like this:

 if (count($page->images)){
    foreach ($page->images as $image) {
        
        echo "<img src='{$image->url}' alt='{$image->description}'</img>";
        
    }    
}

Replace images with the name of your image field.

See site/templates/basic-page.php and head.inc for an example with thumbs.

Cheers.
