What I eventually want to do is to get x number of pictures to show on the link details page
Then you'd save yourself a ton of time and make it more powerful by using the default file upload options instead of adding custom fields. Is there some other reason you have for adding fields?
I can assure you that I have read through the manual, but of course it is possible that I did not understand it, which is why I have posted in the forum that is what the forum is for - too help each other out if we can
In fact I have even tried getting it to work as you can see by the original posting
Having read this bit in the manual - see below, I thought I needed to create custom fields, and would need to create custom fields for each picture to be uploaded thus giving me 5 browse buttons
"By using custom file fields, you can have you visitors upload several files at once for a single object. For links and comments this isn't so important since you can already let people upload any number of files, but you can also add file uploads to categories and members using custom file fields.
In order to get started on creating a custom file field, visit customizations -> 'add fields' in your admin panel. Any field which you give a name that includes 'attach' in it will automatically become a custom file field, but if you do not wish to worry about this just select 'file' from the type options and it will automatically append 'attach' to the name you give it. Once you click 'add field' you will be told what template changes you need to make to your submission and editing tempalates, or if templates are chmoded the changes will be made for you. "
All I want to do is let a poster upload 5 pictures which will be displayed on the their link detail page
I would understand your comment if I had not bothered to try anything but the posting and my attempts to get it to work prove that, and I also continue to do so with a customization you are working on for me - I spent 2 hours the other day trawling through a forum trying to find ideas why we are having a problem on the mod
I have no doubt that this script is both good but sometimes instruction manuals are not always written with the end user in mind but written more on a technical level which would be fine if we were all experts on php the use of templates and the the like but some of us are not
I have expertise in other things in life like getting high generic rankings in google and managing adwords accounts so that clients do not loose their shirt when their monthly bill comes in but that does not mean that they would understand my technobable, not because they are stupid but because they are not an expert in that field
I have managed to get picture showing as thumbnail which appears to be downloadable and will show the full size when clicked on
But what I want to do is get the pictures to show full size without having to click on them
I have tried every way suggested in the manual but cannot get the pictures to show full size on the detail page - below is the present coding that I am using - which is the standardd default set up in the template
Having messed around with this now for several hours, it makes me think that there were several reasons why I thought the custom field way was the way to go for me
1. I want to be able to have 5 browse buttons on the submit form - rather than just one attach button with an explanation that they can attach 5 items using the same button
2. I want to be able to choose a specific image lets say image 1 to also be a thumbnail against the listing in the category page

Thanks for the reply, had a quick look at the thread this morning, will look in more detail over the weekend and let you know how I get on, but it looks promising
Off on a 500 mile round trip business meeting this morning, so will not get a chance berfore the weekend :-( maybe I should buy my good clients a webcam for xmas :-)
For a category field, link to download.php?catid={CATID}&field=customattach For a member field, link to download.php?memid={MEMBERID}&field=customattach
Replace customattach with the name of your field in all cases, of course. You can resize image attachments by tacking on &width=800&height=600 (this would resize to 800x600).
It looks like I cut off the line on using it for links because I didn't imagine anyone would want to use the more antiquated custom attachments instead of the generalized attachments. I'll go edit it back in for links and comments. What you want to use is

Hi everyone,
Have a problem displaying picture on the link details page
The picture uploads ok
When looking at the link detail page in question I get this but no actual
picture
testpicture30040001d4.wsn[,]testpicture300400.jpg[,]0[,]300[,]400
the coding I am using to get this is below, which I have just dropped in under link descriptiopn - see code below
<div class="details"><span class="labels">Description:</span>
{LINKDESCRIPTION}</div>
{LINKPICTURE1ATTACH}
What I eventually want to do is to get x number of pictures to show on
the link details page
Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong
Thanks Mel

Read the manual entry: scripts.webmastersite.net/w...Attachment_Fields-161.html

From the manual:
For a category field, link to download.php?catid={CATID}&field=customattach
For a member field, link to download.php?memid={MEMBERID}&field=customattach
Replace customattach with the name of your field in all cases, of course. You can resize image attachments by tacking on &width=800&height=600 (this would resize to 800x600).
It looks like I cut off the line on using it for links because I didn't imagine anyone would want to use the more antiquated custom attachments instead of the generalized attachments. I'll go edit it back in for links and comments. What you want to use is
