multiple image sizes/classes within same array - frontpage tweaks

Tuesday 11 May 2004 11:54:49 am

Hi there,

In hope of some help I submit to the forum!! My problem is not very different from the thread found in:

http://www.ez.no/community/forum/setup_design/different_imagesizes_on_images_embedded_in_an_xml_text_field

...but the answer wasnt clear for me, so hopefully someone could give some pointers...

My problem is this: I have a frontpage which displays latest news articles ala the 'news template' with Ez. The first article listed uses the 'image_class=medium' in the line template overide. The problem that I have is the consequtive articles in the page then want 'image_class=small' to be applied.

The code in article_line.tpl is:

{default content_object=$node.object
content_version=$node.contentobject_version_object}

<div class="image">{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.thumbnail image_class=medium alignment=left href=$node.url_alias|ezurl}</div>

<div class="info">
<h2>{attribute_view_gui attribute=$content_version.data_map.title}</h2>

<div class="object_brief">
{attribute_view_gui attribute=$content_version.data_map.intro}
<a href={$node.url_alias|ezurl}><img src={"design/news/images/read-more_dark.gif"|ezroot} ALT="read more"></a>
</div>

</div>
</div>

I need to add something on the lines of "if this is number Y in the section sequence, then make the 'image_class=XXX"?

Anyone got any ideas??

...something aside - I think I have seen this in previous thresd - but why dont Ez crew start a payment scheme for questions like these? Similar to the google answers model?

Anyway, help on this would be greatly appraciated.

Thanks, Steve.

Steve, I don't think you have to register the mline template anywhere else. You mentioned that you can see the template in the admin view, but you may want to check that it is placed in the proper directory of your site view as well: /design/your_site/templates/content/view/mline.tpl.

Hrrrm, try using <i>{content_view_gui view=mline content_node=$news.item}</i> instead of <i>{node_view_gui view=mline content_node=$news.item}</i>, clear the cache and see if that helps.
