custome fields with images Can't Post
i made a custome pulldown new fields to limit the width and height for images with a two or three diferent sizes but i faced a strange problem

$art_fieldx$ not readable in image caption & image no caption, it didn't show any result but if i put it in any other cell it come with its results,, so what's the problem and how i can resolve this problem or get another solution

Hi there.

Thanks for posting and welcome to the board!

Each template cell is setup individually within the program to recognize specific placeholders and in this particular case, the image template cells for an article template aren’t setup to recognize the art_field placeholders.

What you could do is use the caption field specify either the height or width in an image though. Does that sound like it would work? You can just let the page itself scale the image for you based on which field you choose to specify yourself.

Let me know what you think and I can go into more detail on how to set it up Smile.

Hi again.

Thanks for getting back to me Smile.

I am still looking into other alternatives for you, but in the meantime, my suggestion might actually work for you. By typing in the desired width into an image’s caption box, you’ll be able to use the $caption$ placeholder on your templates to control the images width. You could also switch it so that the $caption$ placeholder becomes the images height.

Do you think that would work? You are still going to have some control over an image’s dimensions this way.

Let me know what you think Smile.

With this, can I use the table field in my html to control the height and the caption field to control the width? if so, what - exactly - would I put in the caption field?

Just LOVE playing with this software :)

Hi Kimberleyb,

If I understand correctly you'd like to have a set height in your template file and use the caption field to control the width, is this correct? If so you could change this section of code:

Code
<!-- templatecell : img_caption --> 
<table border=0 cellspacing=2 cellpadding=0 width=$img_width$ align=$img_align$> 
<tr><td><img src="$img_url$" height="$img_height$" width="$img_width$" border=1></td></tr> 
<tr><td><span class="image_caption">$img_caption$</span></td></tr> 
</table> 
<!-- /templatecell : img_caption -->


To this:

Code
<!-- templatecell : img_caption --> 
<table border=0 cellspacing=2 cellpadding=0 width=$img_width$ align=$img_align$> 
<tr><td><img src="$img_url$" height="MY.SET.HEIGHTpx" width="$img_caption$" border=1></td></tr> 
</table> 
<!-- /templatecell : img_caption -->


Doing this would mean that your images would no longer use caption text, instead you'd be entering the width value for the image. You'll also want to replace "MY.SET.HEIGHTpx" with your actual default height value. :)

Does this help Kimberleyb? If you have any other questions please feel free to ask!
