I've been reading through the forums for best practices on handling images on static pages - that's to say, how best to handle images in my static html markup when I don't have any need for image fields. On my current site, I have a lot of images on the home page and it seems silly creating an image field for all of these. Also, for pages where I do have image fields, I've been using the PageImageSource module to create wepb srcsets automatically (and it works great). I like setting my desired image sizes for the srcsets in one place, so I'd like to use this module for everything everywhere if possible. The problem is that it only works with PageImage objects, so I have to do something with my static images in order for the plugin to work with those. It looks like the media manager modules are not maintained. Could I just somehow put all my non-image field images in one page reference or something and have the PageImageSource module render those wherever they're needed? Could the following work? 1) Create an images/media page and template with images field. Set it to hidden. 2) // In _init.php: $media = $pages->get("template=media", include=hidden); 3) // on a template page markup: $desiredImage = $media->images->get("name=imageName.jpg"); .... <div><=?php $desiredImage->render()?></div> // renders the srcsets and <picture> tags with the PageImageSource module I don't know if this is the recommended way of dealing with <picture> tags for static pages (srcsets are such a pain to do manually!). Maybe there are some downsides to this that I'm not aware of. Any guidance would be very welcome. -
Or it returns existing image, if image with such dimensions already exists (e.g. has been created formerly)? Or in other words - do I need to cycle through $image->getVariations() in order to minimize load onto the server? Or there is another/PW-way to get specific image variation, without image generation if it already exists? Thanks in advance for tip!
