This is the code of the function I use to display the hot tunes matrix.

1. // This function is used to return the thumbnail picture attached to an article within textpattern.
2. // This is how I use it : <txp:permlink><txp:imagematrix /></txp:permlink>

6. global $thisarticle,$img_dir;
7. extract(lAtts(array(
8. 'style' => '',
9. 'align' => '',
10. 'alttxt' =>''
11. ),$atts));

13. $theimage = ($thisarticle['article_image']) ? $thisarticle['article_image'] : '';
14. $alttxt = $thisarticle['title'];
15.  
16. if ($theimage) {
17.  
18. if (is_numeric($theimage)) {
19. $rs = safe_row("*",'txp_image',"id='$theimage'");
20. if ($rs) {
21. extract($rs);
