CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi, this works nicely in Admin
{content_module block="filepicker block" module="GBFilePicker" mode="browser" file_type="file"}, but how do I retrieve the selected 'filename' which is an image to display in the template?

thanks

GBFilePicker is no repalcement for {content_image} because the {content_module} tag will print out in frontend exactly what is stored in the db and no image. You should see the path of selected file in frontend where you placed the {content_module} tag.

GBFilePicker stores pathes relative to the uploads dir. That means if you select an image in uploads/images/image.jpg it will be stored as images/image.jpg.
In Frontend it will just print out this path. To make it an image use this in your template:

Yes I understand all of the above , but in a template ---
{content_module block="filepicker block" module="GBFilePicker" mode="browser" file_type="file"}
returns no value. Is there a trick?
cheers

Try using a single word for your block="filepicker block" call...

Do not use whitespaces in block param.
At the moment this causes trouble (read here).
But this will be fixed in CMSms 1.9

This works nice now.  many thanks.
