How should i handle images in template ?

Tuesday 03 October 2006 10:45:39 am

Hello,

I'm new to this engine and i wonder what is the correct way to use images in a template ?
According to the tutorial 'Building an eZ publish site' which seems to be outdated, images are called thumbnails and they're added inside the article. I can't find any section called thumbnail.

I tried to add the link under 'Image' section which can hold only one image. What if i need 2 images ?? Should i use related objects ?? Should i use explicit tag (<img>) in template and use media reference as link ??

I tried all on them, but i've never been able to display a single image...

So how should i manage images in an article. An example on how to display it would be nice too :P

Thanks for your help :)

I still can't display any image. I must have missed something important.

Here's my template code:

{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.image image_class=large}
{$node.object.data_map.image|attribute(show, 1)}

Here's the output without any image
<i>
Attribute Type Value
id string 195
contentobject_id string 58
version string 2
language_code string 'eng-CA'
language_id string 2
contentclassattribute_id string 154

sort_key_int string 57
sort_key_string string ''
data_type_string string 'ezobjectrelation'
data_text string ''
data_int string 57
data_float string 0
contentclass_attribute object[ezcontentclassattribute] Object
contentclass_attribute_identifier string 'image'
contentclass_attribute_name string 'Image'

is_required string 0
content object[ezcontentobject] Object
has_http_value boolean false
value object[ezcontentobject] Object
has_content boolean true
class_content array Array(3)
object object[ezcontentobject] Object
object_version object[ezcontentobjectversion] Object
view_template string 'ezobjectrelation'
edit_template string 'ezobjectrelation'
result_template string 'ezobjectrelation'

validation_error NULL
validation_log NULL
language object[ezcontentobjectattribute] Object
is_a string 'ezobjectrelation'
display_info array Array(4)
class_display_info array Array(2)
</i>

The object datatype seems to be valid.
There is no warnings or errors in debug
What else can i check ?? :)

Thanks !! :P
