Hi friends!

Imagine that I have a page that is a storage of images. Let's say, with animals photos.
Then, in my articles about animals, I want to display the correspondent image to the animal in the page title.
So I thought in using a variable (like %%title%%) in the link of the image required, and include that link in a template… something like this:

[[image storage_page/%%title%%.jpg]]

or

[[image http://www.url.com/%%title%%.jpg]]

If so, automatically the images with a name similar than the page title are displayed. If the title of the page is Lion, then a photo named lion.jpg would be displayed.

Do you think that is possible?

Sure, you can do that, by tucking that [[image]] code into a _template for the page category. It means you'll have to provide an appropriately named image for every new page. You could load each image into the page itself, or you could put them all in a single page.

I'd suggest using %%name%% instead of %%title%%. That way if anyone renames a page, it won't affect your image URL.

Have a look at this old page: pictures
