get image url from file upload field in news

[piphansdk]

Hello.

I am trying to make a code in my summary template wich shows a picture of the uploaded file.
and if the field is empty, a no_image.png.

i just need the last things in my code thanks for any help

Code: Select all

          

{if $entry->image}
<img src="{no idea}" align="left" height="270px" width="302px"/>
{else}
     <img src="uploads/images/news.png" alt="news" align="left" height="270px" width="302px" />

{/if}

as you maby see, i need the file location acording to the news article. I found out that the uploaded images is located in: uploads/images/news/"{newsid}"/filename.extension

Look in Sample News Templates, you will find {$entry->file_location} which gives full path to your file.

<img src="{$entry->file_location}/{$entry->fields.Foto->value}" alt="{$entry->product_name}" />

Code: Select all

{if $entry->fieldsbyname.image != ''}
<img src="{$entry->file_location}/{$entry->fieldsbyname.image->value}" alt="{$entry->title|cms_escape:html}" />
{/if}

I don't use regular image tags, just CGSmartImage, so this is a rough idea minus the width and height tags and the class or the wrapper where the image goes you may or may not want to add inside the if statements.

There might be shorter ways, perhaps:

Code: Select all

{if $entry->fieldsbyname.image->value}
<img src="{$entry->file_location}/{$entry->fieldsbyname.image->value}" alt="{$entry->title|cms_escape:html}"  />
{/if}

So yours would kinda look like the information below. Please play around to see what works for you.

Code: Select all

{if $entry->fieldsbyname.image->value}
<img src="{$entry->file_location}/{$entry->fieldsbyname.image->value}" align="left" height="270px" width="302px"/>
{else}
     <img src="uploads/images/news.png" alt="news" align="left" height="270px" width="302px" />

{/if}

Loading scripts in the body of the page is wrong. In your Page Template (not news template) you can load specific code and css for the slider in the head of the html. Place the page alias of the page where the slider appears. This is one way of doing it.

Code: Select all

{if $page_alias eq 'page-alias-here'}

{*scripts go here*}

{/if}

Then troubleshoot your issue by detaching the script. That is change the name of the class on the html, turn off javascript, create a duplicate news template without the script, there's a variety of ways.

Check your error logs in firebug, etc.,

Try to load the page w/o the script, if it works, then it's the script. Try to get help from the script forum. Make the most vanilla version of your news template and get it to work before anything added, then you will know what messed it up. Check your CSS and html too everywhere on the page to make sure you've closed everything, missing html or just a closing quote mark on a url will mess up a page.
