Setting image source to uploaded asset

[pietro117]

Hi, I'm putting together a newsletter app that includes a photo selector page. I'm using a slider to allow the user to choose the photo from a number that I have uploaded. How can I change the image source to the correct asset file when the slider value changes? Many thanks Peter

I'd say the easiest way is to select the image component and change its 'src' attribute. To get the image component you can use:

code
Tiggr('id');
/code

you get jQuery element (http://help.gotiggr.com/documentation....

The only other thing, you do need to know the file names because when you upload an image, its name is changed to 'asset-xxxx'. We are planning to change that and keep the actual file name.

OK, many thanks for the reply.
I was setting the image source to the uploaded file name, rather than the asset file. Could you let me know if there's a quick way of getting the asset file names for each of my uploaded images?
Cheers

I think the easiest way would be to place all images on the page and get their names (asset-xxxx) from source. I know this is not the ideal solution, it will be simpler soon.
