Matt Gifford	Saturday 26 July 2008 8:49:47 am Hi guys I am adapting the pagelayout template, as I need a banner object (as in the default frontpage template) to be show in all pages. I have the standard banner code: {if $node.object.data_map.billboard.has_content} <div class="attribute-billboard"> {content_view_gui view=billboard content_object=$node.object.data_map.billboard.content} </div> {/if} From what I can see though, the pagelayout template does not have the $node variable. How can I access this? I am seeing the current node ID from the pagelayout template ($current_node_id) which is fine, but I really need to access the object data map to get the billboard. Any ideas? Your help would be fantastic. Many thanks, Matt

Matt Gifford	Wednesday 30 July 2008 4:46:38 am Hi guys I'm now trying to extract the url to the image supplied by the banner I have uploaded. Using the {content_view_gui view=billboard content_object=$node.object.data_map.headerimage.content} method brings back the complete img src tag. Does anyone know how I can get to just the location/url of the image? Many thanks, Matt
Norman Leutner	Wednesday 30 July 2008 6:25:19 am Hi, try {$node.object.data_map.headerimage\|attribute(show)} to get more information...

Matt Gifford	Wednesday 30 July 2008 7:24:16 am Thanks Norman I get the following returned. I'm still a little confused by it though. Attribute Type Value name object[eZContentObjectAttribute] >id string 1189 >contentobject_id string 190 >version string 1 How can I get the URL from this? Many thanks, Matt
Pascal von Büren	Wednesday 30 July 2008 7:36:56 am Hi Matt, use something like this: $node.data_map.headerimage.content.original.full_path You can also replace the "original" part in the above by any image variation you have defined in your image.ini.append (e.g. medium).
Matt Gifford	Wednesday 30 July 2008 8:21:03 am Thanks for all of your help so far guys, but I'm still stuck. Badly. :(
Matt Gifford	Wednesday 30 July 2008 8:23:46 am I've managed to draw the contentobject_id using the following: {$node.object.data_map.headerimage.image.content.id} can I get the url from that at all?
Matt Gifford	Wednesday 30 July 2008 9:15:11 am Got it! After most of the day (aargh!) this works..: {$node.object.data_map.headerimage.content.data_map.image.content[original].full_path} Thanks to all for help and advice.
