I have a macro that lists news items (as shown on umbraco.tv) - the problem is, that I need the user to be able to associate an image with the news article, which then displays inside the macro that lists all the news items - so you have a small image for every article.
The output should look like this:
[code]
News Headline
Teaser goes here
News Headline 2
Teaser goes here
[/code]
Does anyone know how to pass the parameter for the mediaCurrent back into the news list macro that lists all of the articles?
thanks for the reply but I don't think this will work, as I am inserting the code into an XSLT file that lists news items and not inserting a macro into a template - here is my code if it makes it any clearer:

Hi tommy,

I have simply tried to use
and this gives the ID of my image node - not sure if this can be fixed to grab the image or not?
EDIT:
Sorry I accidentally said "and inserting a macro into a template" above instead of "and NOT inserting a macro..." sorry about that!
To access media nodes you would probably want to use something like this (gets the filename):

Cheers Tommy, do you have any idea how you can embed this into html:
![]()
XSLT obviously throws an error if you try to do an
Thanks for getting me this far anyway,
Garry.
If you save the image url to a variable like
![]()
like so
[code]
[/code]
then you can stick it in the

Excellent, thanks very much guys much appreciated.
