Not sure if I can get away with this, but I am trying to create a house listing with a photo using CCK for the fields and trying to use the standard Image Attach function of the Image Module.

All I really want to do is display the image module generated "preview" and not the "thumbnail".

The problem is that I am not seeing the field for the attached image in the options that contemplate gives me.

As a stand-by I tried to find the code in the image.module file that mandates what version of the image is displayed and couldn't find where the "thumbnail" variable was bing added to the image ie:"files/images/312house.thumbnail.jpg"

Any ideas why the Image Attach code isn't showing up in the contemplate? Do I need to do this some other way? I thought of using views but I haven't figured out how to apply the view to the node type.

im not sure you can use image attach at all in contemplate. contemplate is for use with CCK, that being the case, you can use the imagefield module CCK addon which now makes these images available in contemplate. image cache and imagescaling could be used in tandem as well with CCK i believe

I was scared of imagecache and I have to say that contemplate took me a few minutes to get the grasp of, but it's all up and going now, many thanks to pointing me to finally trying it and to this HOW TO: Enable thumbnail on teaser, larger image on page using cck imagefield, imagecache and upload

In case anyone arrives at this page from Google like I did the solution is:

  foreach ($node->iids as $image) {
    $iid = node_load($image);
    print '<img src="' . check_url(base_path() . $iid->images["thumbnail"]) . '" alt="' . $iid->title . '" />';
  }
