assign an url to <txp:article_image />

ballmann · 2006-10-19 00:08:34

hi everybody!

i got several articles and some of them use an article-image (<txp:article_image />). for these articles i want to link this images to some urls (a different one for each article). how can i easily set up a custom-field in the article-template in which i can paste a url – which is automatically linked to the article-image of this specific article?

any ideas?
i think it´s not that hard but searchin this forum did´nt bring the solution.

thank you!

Edit: Syntax error corrected

Hi ballmann,

Create a new Custom Field named img-url
In your Article Form, you can set it up like this:

<a<txp:if_custom_field name="img-url"> href="<txp:custom_field name="img-url" />"</txp:if_custom_field>><txp:article_image /></a>

hi mstwntd, it´s not working.
are your sure the syntax is right?

here is my basic code:

My bad, ballmann. I forgot to close <txp:custom_field name="img-url" />.

The article image input already accepts urls.

ballmann · 2006-10-19 18:57:02

mary, what do you mean?
i want do assign a specific url to an image – not the url to the image.

Oh right, sorry. Getting confused… :D

it kinda worked for me. but the link for the image it’s wrong cause its showing my site first, like this: www.mysite.com/www.urltoimage.com

what could be wrong?

Try

<txp:if_custom_field name="img-url"><a href="<txp:custom_field name="img-url" />"><txp:article_image /></a></txp:if_custom_field>

This way nether the a tag nor the article_image one will not be parsed unless the custom field contains a value.

Alternatively you can try something like the following which checks if there is an article image too. If there isn’t a generic one is assigned

<txp:if_custom_field name="img-url">
<a href="<txp:custom_field name="img-url" />">
<txp:if_variable name="article_img" value=""> 
<img src="<txp:site_url />images/generic.jpg" alt="photo" class="yourclass" width="70" height="70"></a>
<txp:else />
<txp:article_image /></a>
</txp:if_custom_field>

it worked now. the thing is you have to type http:// before the www in the img-url custom field. ortherwise it will show your own website first.

thanks guys! :)

or put it in the form

<txp:if_custom_field name="img-url">
<a href="http:\\<txp:custom_field name="img-url" />">
<txp:article_image />
</a></txp:if_custom_field>
