memoirparts
How can I have both text and image on the part page? I have tried the solution with
\part{My part}[My long text below]
Like here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1872706/writing-text-on-latex-part-page and here: How to write text after \part.
But that cannot include images.
I have also tried to renew the command:
\renewcommand*{\afterpartskip}{}
But that doesn't work either. There's still a new page below the part title.
I use the memoir class.
Using the same technique as in this question Adding a figure to a Part Page it's much easier to do with memoir:
First we define a command to set the image name for each part. This command takes the same arguments as the \includegraphics command from the graphicx package. Then we add the image to the memoir class \printparttitle command. You can play with the \vfil commands to change the vertical spacing as you require it.
\documentclass{memoir}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\makeatletter
% define a user command to choose the image
% this command also creates an internal command to insert the image
\def\@partimage{}
\newcommand{\partimage}[2][]{\gdef\@partimage{\includegraphics[#1]{#2}}}
\renewcommand{\printparttitle}[1]{\parttitlefont #1\vfil\@partimage\vfil\gdef\@partimage{}}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\partimage{foo.png}
\part{A part}
\partimage[width=\textwidth]{bar.png}
\part{Another part}
\end{document}
\part forces a blank page but you can redefine it to add some text eg:
\documentclass[twoside,12pt,openright]{book}
\makeatletter
\def\@endpart{\vfil\newpage
\if@twoside
\if@openright
\null
\thispagestyle{empty}%
%<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
\vspace*{\fill}%
\begin{quote}%
\partnote
\end{quote}%
\vspace*{\fill}%
%<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
\newpage
\fi
\fi
\if@tempswa
\twocolumn
\fi}
\newcommand\partnote{}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\renewcommand\partnote{This part is about something}
\part{pone title}
bla bla bla
\end{document}
with titlesec the definition needs to be moved and adjusted a bit:
\documentclass[twoside,12pt,openright]{book}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\part}[frame]
{\bfseries\Huge}
{\filright\large\enspace{\partname}\enspace}
{40pt}
{\Large\filcenter\MakeUppercase}
\def\@endpart{\vfil\newpage
\if@twoside
\if@openright
\null
\thispagestyle{empty}%
%<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
\vspace*{\fill}%
\begin{quote}%
\partnote
\end{quote}%
\vspace*{\fill}%
%<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
\newpage
\fi
\fi
\if@tempswa
\twocolumn
\fi}
\newcommand\partnote{}
\begin{document}
\makeatletter
\def\ttl@page@ii#1#2#3#4#5#6#7{%
\ttl@assign\@tempskipa#3\relax\beforetitleunit
\if@openright
\cleardoublepage
\else
\clearpage
\fi
\@ifundefined{ttl@ps@#6}%
{\thispagestyle{plain}}%
{\thispagestyle{\@nameuse{ttl@ps@#6}}}%
\if@twocolumn
\onecolumn
\@tempswatrue
\else
\@tempswafalse
\fi
\vspace*{\@tempskipa}%
\@afterindenttrue
\ifcase#5 \@afterindentfalse\fi
\ttl@assign\@tempskipb#4\relax\aftertitleunit
\ttl@select{#6}{#1}{#2}{#7}%
\ttl@finmarks
\@ifundefined{ttlp@#6}{}{\ttlp@write{#6}}%
\vspace{\@tempskipb}%
\newpage
\if@twoside
\if@openright
\null
\@ifundefined{ttl@ps@#6}%
{\thispagestyle{empty}}%
{\thispagestyle{\@nameuse{ttl@ps@#6}}}%
%<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
\vspace*{\fill}%
\begin{quote}%
\partnote
\end{quote}%
\vspace*{\fill}%
%<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
\newpage
\fi
\fi
\if@tempswa
\twocolumn
\fi
\ignorespaces}%
\makeatother
\renewcommand\partnote{This part is about something}
\part{pone title}
bla bla bla
\end{document}

The
memoirmanual talks about this, but perhaps not as clearly as it might do. Basically\part{Title}sets the part title and then calls\partpageendto finish off. By default it finishes the part title page immediately after setting the title. So, a simple example of what you want is:
