Image field above article header was created by collacocca

First thanx so much for this phantastic piece of software.

I have a little problem to place an image above the article header cause even the subtitle1 area is below buttons 'nd header.
The image has to be placed there to give printouts a CI conform layout.
And now after playing around for a while I seem to get lost…

:

Any help or idea?

TIA

Hi,

You can modify the item view of your template to add an area where you want.

To do this :

Edit the file : item.php of your template located in components/com_flexicontent/templates/template_name

And Add :

Code:

<!-- BOF your_position block -->
<?php if (isset($this->item->positions['your_position'])) : ?>
<div class="lineinfo your_position">
	<?php foreach ($this->item->positions['your_position'] as $field) : ?>
	<span class="element">
		<?php if ($field->label) : ?>
		<span class="label field_<?php echo $field->name; ?>"><?php echo $field->label; ?></span>
		<?php endif; ?>
		<span class="value field_<?php echo $field->name; ?>"><?php echo $field->display; ?></span>
	</span>
	<?php endforeach; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<!-- EOF your_position block -->

where you want.

And add in the file item.xml :

Code:

<group>your_position</group>

between

Code:

<fieldgroups>

and

Code:

</fieldgroups>

So, in the template manager, you will a new position where you can drag and drop your field.

I hope it will help you.

Regards

Sorry guys - been away from my desk a couple of days

Alright - how to make the dreams of the CI/CD dragon come true -

we found out that instead of the original image that we would like to include
as a header logo directly above the article we got the mid-sized preview image.
That's a result of the way stuff is handled in the function 'onDisplayFieldValue…'
in 'joomla/plugin/flexicontent_fields/image.php

As we needed the original image located in the uploads dir we added a new path (#176) -

Code:

$path_imgOrig = JURI::base().DS.'components/com_flexicontent/uploads'.DS;

added a new var for the image source (#183) -

Code:

$srco 	= $path_imgOrig . $value['originalname'];

and replaced #191 -

Code:

$src 	= ($view == 'category') ? $srcs : $srcm;

with -

Code:

switch($view){
	case 'category':
		$src = $srcs;
		break;
	case 'items':
		$src = $srco;
		break;
	default:
		$src = $srcm;
}

to be prepared for the wotd.
Now we can deal with the different image versions just by linking 'em to the current view.
Yes - it is definitly q&d - an image version selector in the article editor would be fine.

So have a nice day…
