[Answered] [Solved] how do read the image field slug? was created by kath

hi there!

i love flexicontent, just can't figute out how i can assemble the url for any of my image sizes?

i do see my printed_r $item with its fields, also it's easy to get my image field's ->display, but i want to get path and most important filename incl. prefix and filetype to build an <img /> tag.

anyone?
thanks a lot in advance guys!

I was actually looking into this the other day.

For some reason, instead of putting the lightbox in the article template its part of the image plugin, and the default flexicontent image plugin is a beast.

So let's look at:

Code:

plugins/flexicontent_fields/image.php

We are interested in the user output so lets look at the function: onDisplayFieldValue()

We are interested in the following variable

Code:

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

This holds the path to the article image.

The problem is the returned value in the slug has all the other stuff going on like lightbox, so I was only able to do my custom stuff by echoing here. You can change this around so the slug only has the URL.

I haven't quite figured out how I want to go about dealing with this, but I was able to get the changes I made at the plugin level, though I think it would be better to have an object passed and then parsed in the template.

I hope my work helps with what you are trying to do.

^ that really helped - for now...

problem was i couldn't read the image slug comfortably, so with webdesignhero's help i added the following to flexicontent's image plugin object:

right before the end of function "onDisplayFieldValue()" (around line 212) i added

// 13:08 10.06.2010 kath added start
$field->{"test"} = array(
"tag" => $field->{$prop}
, "srcs" => $srcs
, "srcm" => $srcm
, "srcb" => $srcb
, "alt" => $alt
, "title" => $tip
/* add anything you want here */
);
// 13:08 10.06.2010 kath added end

works fine for me for the meantime.

in v1.5.6 RC4+ you have inside the image field

Code:

// ADD some extra (display) properties that point to all sizes
$field->{"display_small_src"} = JURI::root().$srcs;
$field->{"display_medium_src"} = JURI::root().$srcm;
$field->{"display_large_src"} = JURI::root().$srcb;
$field->{"display_small"} = '<img src="'.JURI::root().$srcs.'" alt ="'.$alt.'"'.$legend.' />';
$field->{"display_medium"} = '<img src="'.JURI::root().$srcm.'" alt ="'.$alt.'"'.$legend.' />';
$field->{"display_large"} = '<img src="'.JURI::root().$srcb.'" alt ="'.$alt.'"'.$legend.' />';

As you see above, you can use:
$field->display_small_src
$field->display_medium_src
$field->display_large_src

to get the URL of the various images
