Hi, i'm using the online editor to edit my articles.
When i try to insert an image (using the magnifying glass and such) the online editor inserts a piece of code like:

<object id=a_number size=msmall>

But when the article is displayed i only see a link where i should see an image.

Any idea?

Thanx in advance,
Toni

Hi,

It seems that you are getting the result of the default image template, that shows a link to the image object, instead you should get the embed image template (you will need to verride this) that shows the image within your i.e article, or info_page.etc

Thanx Lazaro, it workerd! :)
Now i face another problem, how can i get the image_size and the alignment?

At the momment i have them as a default mode (medium and center) but if i set small and left in the online editro i expect to put those values in the template override.
I see that embed.tpl gets the attributes in the very first line, but i don't know how to acces to those attributes from ezpublish code...

Any idea?

Thanx in advance,

Toni

Hi,

This is the image_embed.tpl supplied with EZP Portal Setup

{let image_variation="false"
     align="center"
     href=''}

{section show=is_set($attribute_parameters.size)}
{set image_variation=$object.data_map.image.content[$attribute_parameters.size]}
{section-else}
{set image_variation=$object.data_map.image.content["medium"]}
{/section}

{section show=is_set($attribute_parameters.align)}
{set align=$attribute_parameters.align}
{section-else}
{set align="center"}
{/section}

{section show=is_set($attribute_parameters.href)}
{set href=$attribute_parameters.href}
{section-else}
{set href=""}
{/section}

{switch match=$align}
{case match="left"}
<div class="imageleft">
{section show=$href}<a href={$href|ezurl}>{/section}
<img src={$image_variation.full_path|ezroot} />
{section show=$href}</a>{/section}

<div style="width: {$image_variation.width}px;">
{$object.data_map.caption.content.output.output_text}
</div>
</div>
{/case}
{case match="right"}
<div class="imageright">
{section show=$href}<a href={$href|ezurl}>{/section}
<img src={$image_variation.full_path|ezroot} />
{section show=$href}</a>{/section}

<div style="width: {$image_variation.width}px;">
{$object.data_map.caption.content.output.output_text}
</div>
</div>
{/case}
{case}
<div class="imagecenter">
{section show=$href}<a href={$href|ezurl}>{/section}
<img src={$image_variation.full_path|ezroot} />
{section show=$href}</a>{/section}

<div style="width: {$image_variation.width}px;">
{$object.data_map.caption.content.output.output_text}
</div>
</div>
{/case}
{/switch}

{/let}

Look at the section :

{section show=is_set($attribute_parameters.size)}
{set image_variation=$object.data_map.image.content[$attribute_parameters.size]}
{section-else}
{set image_variation=$object.data_map.image.content["medium"]}
{/section}

As you see, you can change "medium" size for another one there, it should works

I have followed this and other threads on the same subject, but I simply do not understand the solution. Could someone step me through how exactly to embed an image in a news article and actually have it displayed? I use the on-line editor, I insert an image object and it shows up in the article in admin mode. In user mode it shows as a text link to the image file. How, exactly, do I override the default template to use some other template, and what does the other template look like?

Please help - this is incredibly frustrating - embedding an image into text should not be this difficult!

1. Copy design/admin/override/templates/embed_image.tpl to design/<<your design>>/override/templates/embed_image.tpl
2. Add

 [embed_image]
Source=content/view/embed.tpl
MatchFile=embed_image.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[class]=5

to settings/siteaccess/<<your siteaccess>>/override.ini.append
3. Clear cache

Cheers

Bruce, thank you, however ....

I Have done exactly as indicated. But the images still show up as text links to the image.
Yes, I did clear the caches and yes, they are valid image files. If you would like access to the site, send me a clear email address and I will send you the id and password.

After much checking/rechecking and so on, it now works and I am convinced that something is odd with cache clearing. I used the clear all cache link in the admin screens but images still do not appear, however, if I clear each cache individually then lo and behold .... images in the articles.

Probably this is all just a figment of my imagination, but are you sure that the clear all cache button works??

Thanks for your help - I was on the right track, but cache clearance was masking the reolution.

I have experienced the same thing many times with the 3.2-x and 3.3-x series. Never trust the "clear all" option! Do it manually!

Is this a bug?
