Remove anchor / link from surrounding image

Hey guys.

i was wondering if theres a straight forward way to echo an image in the item template without an anchor around it? I'm hopeing to do this so that i can create a set of thumbnails that can be used as gallery navigation; to do this i need them to be clean images with no surrounding tags.

I saw this bit of code in the category_items template and tried to get it to work in the item view (i'm probably compeltely misunderstanding it but it literally says what i wanted to accomplish 'extractimagesrc').

Is this a function i can use to do what i need to? I'm clearly using it wrong if it is..

I'm aware that i can disable the popup in the backend field options but i'd just need to rebuild the links for the final lightbox when you click on the main gallery image and overall i'm hoping for better control over the image output format would allow for much quicker customization of templates/gallery layouts.

Thanks for your time - Ant

I guess you speak of the image field plugin, so i edited the title of this thread.

I looked at the code and i can see in a glance that if you disable
-- legend
-- link to url
-- and popup

then you will have a plain image as output

Following that you can make the changes you need in the FLEXIcontent template file "category_items.php"

PS: I ll be away from forum for a couple of days to try to finish up RC3 (final version) or at least make a nightly build with almost all bugs fixed and a couple of new features i have finished and never tested , and also finish up v2.0 stuff. I might respond to some bug reports.

Hey, thanks for the reply, i'm not looking for a way to display the image in the category view, its in the item view i need to pull thru the field, its the standard image fields, not the minigallery, and i want to retain the popup functionality for all image fields, but i want to duplicate their content to make thumbnail navigation that isnt surrounded by a link. basically my markup needs to look something like this -

So i would create the slideshow UL with the standard image fields creating sliding medium size images that are clickable to create a lightbox.

I'm having problems generating the buttons UL list... so i was hoping to use some sort of fitler to echo the field without an anchor surrounding it..

You will have then to duplicate the image field.

Just copy it (it is joomla plugin) and carefully change all filenames and class names to match the name of the new field.

Then edit your new field to customize it as needed.
