Replacing part of a string
|

Is there a way to replace only part of a string using one of the placeholder modifiers? I'm trying to add a photo of the author at the template level and I want to avoid using javascript.
The photo filenames are the author's full name without spaces. The code I was trying to use was:
<img src="/photos/$article.author:lowercase:replace(' ','')$.jpg alt="$article.author:htmlEncoded$" align="right" />
Unfortunately, this was a misuse of replace. Replace matches the entire string in the placeholder, not a substring. Is there any way to do what I was attempting?
Thanks

Hi there,
Replace won't work the way you're expecting as that will only match the entire value. However, there are a few ways you could get around that. One, if you've got a limited number of authors, you could simply create a pre-defined dropdown field for each of your author images, and have the "value" set to the filename for that author.
Alternately, you could use the ":urlEncoded" option, and save the files as Firstname%20Lastname.jpg ("%20" being the URL encoded value for a space.)
Would either of those methods work for you?
