I18N Special Pages

[sarnaiz]

Hi Martin,

I am having trouble with getting an image to show in my results display.

I have a news special page with several fields which are working, but the image "thumb" does not appear.

...

I am using the following code in my search:

PHP Code:

<h3 class="search-entry-title">
<a href="<?php get_special_field('link','',false); ?>">
    <?php get_special_field('title','',false); ?>
  </a>
</h3>
<?php get_special_field_image($thumb, $title=true, $width=200, $crop=false); ?>
<div class="search-entry-news-summary"><?php if (return_special_field('summary')=='') { get_special_field_excerpt('content', $numWords); } else { get_special_field('summary','',true); } ?></div> 


If the name of the field containing the link to the image ist "thumb", the code would be

Code:

<?php get_special_field_image("thumb", null, 200); ?>

In your code you use the variable $thumb, which is probably empty, instead of the string "thumb". The second parameter is the title, which you could set to a fixed text like "Image illustrating the topic" or to another field, e.g. to have the page title as image title:

Code:

<?php get_special_field_image("thumb", return_special_field('title','',false), 200); ?>

You only need the third parameter, if the image does not have the correct size. The fourth optional parameter is the height (which in your call is false = 0, because you forgot it).

Thank you very much Martin. This code worked. I will style the image later on when I know people will not be visiting the site.

I appreciate you taking the time to write the code out with the proper syntax for me. Since I am not a programmer I tend to take instructions literally because I don't know any better!
