[ic] Image detail page

[interchange-users@icdevgroup.org (Ian C. Melville)]

Thanks Ron & Jeff for your generous assistance!

Ron: you seem to know interchange as well as the back of your hand ;-)
Thank you ever so much. Knowing what is wrong and what needs to be done
is one thing but knowing *how* to do it is entirely another. I knew only
the first part ;-)

Need I say the changes you suggested worked like a charm. The only other
item missing is a title for below the image and its already in the
table. Do I call the title using the same 'scratch code' variable?

Cheers!

Call your page like this:

[area href=prodview arg='[item-code]']

And then on your prodview page use this code to return the image name:

[tmp code][data session arg][/tmp]

<img src="[data table=products field=image_large key='[scratch code]']">

The reason your other code was not working was because prodview is not a
"flypage" like your other page so it does not know what "[item-field]"
is.  So we pass the [item-code] as an argument and than use the data tag
to look up the image_large value for that item.

Good luck,
