child image path

[Xpn]

Hi There,

Is it possible to get the child image path?

Now it only output the image file name but not the path to the image it self.

Thanks,

Xpn

<div id="portfolio-content" class="sort fourcol">            
            <?php
            foreach($page->children as $child)
            echo "
                <div class=''>
                <div class='port-item-container'>
                    <div class='port-box'>
                        <div class='zoom-holder'>
                            <img src='{$child->overviewimg}'>
                                <a href='{$child->overviewimgbig}' class='fancybox' title='Title'>
                                    <div class='zoom'>
                                        <div class='zoom-inner'></div>
                                    </div>
                                </a>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                    <div class='port-item-title'>
                        <h6><a rel='bookmark' title='{$child->title}' href='{$child->url}'>{$child->title}</a></h6>

Hi Xpn and welcome to Processwire.

Accessing the url for the image is as easy as:

$child->overviewimg->url

The only caveat to that is how your overviewimg field is set up. If the Max Files Allowed setting (Details tab) is set to anything but 1, you will need to use one of the following;

$child->overviewimg->first()->url
$child->overviewimg->last()->url
$child->overviewimg->eq(x)->url //where x is the number of the image in the array of images, starting with 0 as the first.

Also, have a read of:

Thanks Adrian,

I'm going to try out right now

Cheers,

Wow... that simple, Thanks!

[adrian]

Things in PW generally are simple

Also, in case you haven't seen it yet, you need to read through the cheatsheet:

I really like the way Processwire is working... comming from MODx, getting to complex.

Will look through the cheatsheet

Thanks!

Just installed the Thumbnails Module anybody familiar with the module?

I would like the use the thumb instead of the normal image .

Can this code some how be used to get the child image thumb path?

$page->cropImages->eq(0)->getThumb('thumbnail');

Something like: {$child->overviewimgbig->cropImages->eq(0)->getThumb('thumbnail')->url}

Thanks,

Xpn

[adrian]

Make sure you read the instructions for the module:

"getThumb returns url to the thumbnail you have asked for"

 

So all you would need would be:

$child->overviewimgbig->eq(0)->getThumb('thumbnail')

There is also a great video on the usage of the module here:

http://processwire.com/videos/using-the-image-thumbnail-plugin/

[Xpn]

I tried that and also:

$child->overviewimgbig->eq(0)->getThumb('thumbnail')->url

But it give

Error: Call to a member function eq() on a non-object

I watched the video very nice and easy way to get a portfolio up and running

Got it... getting late here

Thanks for all the help!
