This list is for questions regarding devleopment of Typo3 ...
So this is probably the wrong list ...

You should ask such things on the Typo3.english mailinglist or one for
your specific country  (if you read by newsreader you will notice the
news-folder t.ug. on the newsserver this contains the many local usergroups
for typo3)

But as we are no bad people here we will answer your question ...

Have a look at the "import" functionality of T3 menus ...
(see the TSRef for that on GMENU and GMENU Items ...)

do something like:

temp.customImageMenu = HMENU
temp.customImageMenu.1 = GMENU
temp.customImageMenu.1.NO {
   altImgResource.import = uploads/media/
   altImgResource.import.field = media
   altImgResource.import.listNum = 0
}


then you have to upload a image to each page.
for this go to one of the pages. edit tha page header. change the page
type to advanced. then you will see a field called media/files ... upload
your image there ...

listNum = 0

means it takes the first image ... if you would write listNum = 1 it would always take
the second image ...


greets,
Bernhard
