Gossamer Forum: Products: Gossamer Links: Development, Plugins and Globals: Cool tip for image field entries...

Hi. I just came up with a pretty sweet little bit of template code :)

Code:
    <font face="Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica" size="2"> 
    <%if Image1%> 
      <%if ID%> 
         <%--  
           we dont need to pass in the hidden value, as the image shown here  
           should already be saved in the DB. 
         --%> 
         <img src="<%Plugins::Thumb_Images::ThumbURL($ID,'Image1')%>"><BR> 
      <%else%> 
         <img src="<%Image1%>"> <font face="Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica" size="1"> 
          <b>NOTE: You may have to Copy + Paste  
          the following path into the below field: <%Image1%>  
         (not all browsers will show it correctly by default)</b> 
        </font><BR> 
      <%endif%> 
    <%endif%> 

    <input <%if Image1%>value="<%Image1%>"<%endif%> type="file" name="Image1" size="20"> 
</font>

As far as I can see, its working ok.

Basically, if <%Image1%> is passed in, but not <%ID%>, then it should be a new link submission (thus it gets directly printed out, instead of going through Thumb_Images).

If <%Image1%> exists, and <%ID%> does too, then it should be a link that needs modifying (thus it already has been saved to the database/server). It should then show them their current image, with the box below it, so they can change it if/when required :)

Just thought I would share that with you, as I know quite a few people have been trying to do similar things.

Cheers
