Re: [Andy] Ideas please In reply to

Hi Andy,
with the following code I'm trying to print 3 random links of one category,
I don't want the whole include.html disyplayed, only the title and the image stored in the field "banner".
The url should be in title and in the image!

Code:
<%Plugins::ULTRAGlobals::Random_Links(3,'672')%> 
   <%if Random_Loop.length%> 
      <%loop Random_Loop%> 
<%include link.html%>
      <%endloop%> 
  <%endif%>

Can you tell me the the code?

Thanks
Matthias

Why not just make a new template called link_basic.html, and change the "include" to use that template instead? Wink

It's only for a random image in the rightsidebar, and I don't want to have another link.thml for it :-)

Re: [Matthias70] Ideas please In reply to

Ok, so why bother even doing an include then? Whistle

Just do something like:

Code:
<%Plugins::ULTRAGlobals::Random_Links(3,'672')%> 
   <%if Random_Loop.length%> 
      <%loop Random_Loop%> 
          <%Title%> 
         show whatever it is you want here
     <%endloop%> 
   <%endif%>

Cheers

Yes I know, but the "show whatever it is you want here is the problem :-)
I want to show an image from the database field "banner" with the link from the database.

Hi,

Ok, please explain more. Where is the banner "stored"? You havn't really explained that - I thought it was just another field in your glinks_Links table ;)

Re: [Andy] Ideas please In reply to

O.K. found a solution by myself.
Tell me, if it there are some senseless parts :-)

Code:
   <%Plugins::ULTRAGlobals::Random_Links(1,'672')%> 
   <%if Random_Loop.length%> 
      <%loop Random_Loop%> 
<a href="<%URL%>" target="_blank"><%Title%></a><br /> 
<a href="<%URL%>" target="_blank"> 
<img border="0" src="<%Banner%>" <%if Width%>width="<%Width%>"<%endif%> <%if Height%>height="<%Height%>"<%endif%> title="<%Title%> >"</a> 
      <%endloop%> 
  <%endif%>

Quote:

<%Title%>
show whatever it is you want here

Quote:

<a href="<%URL%>" target="_blank"><%Title%></a><br />
<a href="<%URL%>" target="_blank">
<img border="0" src="<%Banner%>" <%if Width%>width="<%Width%>"<%endif%> <%if Height%>height="<%Height%>"<%endif%> title="<%Title%> >"</a>

Both quotes above are the same thing and exactly what Andy suggested.

Where he writes 'show whatever is you want here' means, you can use link properties to design the output you desire.

Hope this helps.

Re: [Matthias70] Ideas please In reply to

Sure, thats fine (its what I suggested ;))

I'd change it a little bit though - as no point in having 2 <a href bits .. as it just adds more text than you need)

Try:

Code:
<%Plugins::ULTRAGlobals::Random_Links(1,'672')%> 
<%if Random_Loop.length%> 
   <%loop Random_Loop%> 
      <a href="<%URL%>" target="_blank"> 
           <%Title%><br /> 
           <img border="0" src="<%Banner%>" <%if Width%>width="<%Width%>"<%endif%> <%if Height%>height="<%Height%>"<%endif%> title="<%Title%>"  /> 
     </a> 
  <%endloop%> 
<%endif%>

Cheers
