I've set up a photo gallery style journal using blogstyles.com's tutorial. I'm now trying to find a way to get the latest 10 photos to display in the menu bar of my normal journal.

I've used the coding given at http://www.moonpost.com/jeremy/photolog5steps.html which worked great on my other journal, but not on this gallery setup.

In stead of the photos I am just getting a list of hyperlinks.

I've set up a new index template in my gallery journal:

CODE
<MTEntries lastn="10">
<a name="<$MTEntryID pad="1"$>"></a>
<span class="preview">
<a href="<$MTEntryLink$>"><$MTEntryMore$></a>
</span>
<br />
</MTEntries>


And have linked it into my journal, but it is just giving my heperlinks and I am not sure what I need to change to display the pictures in stead.

Can anyone give me any pointers?

Here's how I use the blogstyles photoblog pictures on my portal.

From the Blogstyles portal tutorial:
CODE
<MTEntries lastn="10">
<a href="<$MTEntryLink$>"><img src="<$MTEntryMore$>-thumb.jpg" width="100" height="66" alt="<$MTEntryTitle$>" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a><br />
<a href="<$MTEntryLink$>"><$MTEntryTitle$></a> | <$MTEntryDate format="%b %e %H:%M"$><br />
<$MTEntryExcerpt$></MTEntries>


You can see how that looks with a single entry on my portal page under snapshots. smile.gif
