It's an understatement to say that images are crucial to news organizations. Because of their central role, Newscoop has a powerful and user-friendly media archive for storing, retrieving and reusing images in the administration interface. Newscoop's template language can access images in a number of different ways, and the output can be sent to web pages, to Javascript slideshows or other channels. In this section, we'll look at how Newscoop templates work with images, image attributes and metadata.
In Newscoop, you can work with several kinds of image:
According to the Newscoop template reference, "The image object is usually initialized inside a list of article images or a list of images. It is not initialized at the beginning of the template and cannot be initialized by other Newscoop functions." In other words, images must be used through lists or through articles.
You can make use of images through the article object, like when the current article has one or more images attached. One more place where you can use an image object is with author objects. We'll go into these options in detail later. What you can't do at this point is use an image object as a single isolated element, because it has to be set first by any of the means mentioned above.
