Excuse my inexperience if this is a basic concept...

I've got the image module working - I would like to have the first (or maybe the first two?) images in the gallery show in my page.tpl.php template - either by using some php snippet in my page.tpl.php file - or by turning on a block and i can use the php code for 'right_block' to stick in my template layout..

Does that make sense? is this possible?

nobody?

i've been messing with the php, unfortunatly i don't know enough to really make it work... i found that by putting this into the page.tpl.php it returns the image gallery info, but i don't know how to edit it.. and strangely enough it also puts the "next" buttons for the main front page content below it - but doesnt' do that on the /image page- 

unset ($output);
$output=image_gallery_page_custom($type = NULL, $tid = 0);
print $output;

all i need is some code that displays the first image from a gallery..... please?

Why dont u use views module, create a block that returns the number of images u want, from the gallery/ies u want and then configure the block to be displayed in your homepage, it will be very straight forward.

manal is correct, views would be the best way to do this.

however, it shows the full size image - is there any way to show the thumbnail?
