Description
It's easy to build a view that extracts all the images associated with a node.
It's easy to build a view that extracts the first image associated with a node.
It's easy to build a view that extracts the 10th image associated with a node (or any other constant value).
But is it possible to build a view that extracts the Nth image associated with a node, where N is an argument to the views call? If so, how is it done?
Much obliged for any help that can be provided.
#1
Not sure. Checking with CCK folks -- I can't remember if there's a way to control which field(s) are extracted by delta or not.
#2
Try with latest dev snapshot. Multiple value fields expose the delta key to Views as field, filter, argument, ...

Thanks very much for the help. I managed to puzzle out how to do it once given the important clue.
Some notes for the next person trying to do this after adding a delta argument.
1) You must ensure that the Content: Image field has Group Multiple Values unchecked, otherwise you will get all the Images, not just the one you want.
2) If you set the Content: Image delta argument to allow multiple values, you can use arguments like 1+2+3, but you need to make sure that Items to Display is set to unlimited. Also, 1+2+3 and 3+2+1 both appear to display in order 1+2+3.
