Embeded images in article (variable number, placement and formats)

Wednesday 30 April 2003 11:53:09 am

Hi,
I need a way to publish an article with many images in it. The number, placing and format of imgs may vary from article to article.

I could define a class with, say 10 image attributes, and then place each in the template in fixed positions. But that's not the idea...

Can I embed images in an ezXML atribute?

Cheers,
Aldo

Thanks Paul, that's exactly what I needed to know.

You can solve this overriding the default behaviour of the css tags that apply to the <p> tag.

The standard core.css declares <p> as having this formatting:

p
{
padding-top: 0.5ex;
padding-bottom: 0.5ex;
margin: 0px;
}

This is where your spaces are coming from. <p> has padding above and below it, as you would expect from a paragraph.

You can override this in your own stylesheet with settings but this would apply to every <p>. You may want to localise it by:

div p, td p
{
padding-top: 0.5ex;
padding-bottom: 0.5ex;
margin: 0px;
}

or something similar. look in the html source for the html tags around your problematic <p>.

This is a bit technical but i hope you see what im getting at here.

You can either override the basic ezxmltags in your site design or change the existing tags.

Look at the files within:

design/standard/templates/content/datatype/view/ezxmltags/

paragraph.tpl is the one you are after.

Changing these tags affects the html your xmlfield will convert to. It is recommended that you override the ones you want.

Adding css to affect the tags is a neater way of controlling their behaviour :)
