Displaying object-image attribute in a template

>>Situation:
I have an node_id for an (image) class object, and I want to display the image.

I am working in pagelayout.tpl

>>Question:
This seems like it should be a patheticly simple thing to do, but I just can't see it ! Any ideas or leads to useful documentation?

So far I can
- Display the name of the image object with {$display:item.name}
- Display the full/line object with {node_view_gui content_node=$Display:item}

However I can't get to the image attribute specifically...I've tried
{attribute_view_gui attribute=$display:item.object.data_map.image}

But I don't think I've got the syntax right.

Many Thanks

I assume that the attribute for the image is called "image"

{$display:item.data_map.image.content[large].full_path} will return the path to the image. Place this inside a <img> tag like this:

<img src={$display:item.data_map.image.content[large].full_path|ezroot} />

change large to medium, small or reference to get different sizes of the image.

BTW: I haven't checked this up, I'm writing just from my memory, but I'm almost 100% sure of the syntax. If this doesn't work let me know and I'll look it up (or use the |attribute(show) function to check how to get the path like this: {$display:item.data_map.image.content[large]|attribute(show)}
