Add img tag in xml block

Thursday 09 July 2009 2:53:18 pm

Hi Domenico,

do you have the editor activated? If yes - then you have a button on the top with a tree icon.
If your editor is deactivated, try to activate em or add something like this :
<embed size="medium" view="full" href="ezobject://1684" />

I hope it helps you so far.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Best regards

Max Keil

The proper way would be to import those images as separate objects and then embed those objects in the XML blocks.

The quick and dirty way to get images into XML blocks (useful if you really must reference external images) is to use custom tags.

A little outline:

In content.ini.append.php

[CustomTagSettings]
AvailableCustomTags[]=ext_image
IsInline[ext_image]=true

[ext_image]
CustomAttributes[]=ext_src
CustomAttributes[]=ext_alt

------------------------------------------

Template for this custom tag:

design/designname/templates/content/datatype/view/ezxmltags/ext_image.tpl

<img src="{$ext_src}" alt="{$ext_alt}" />

------------------------------------------

Example usage in an XML block:

<custom name="ext_image" ext_alt="This comic makes me feel good about working in Open Source" ext_src="http://www.socialsignal.com/system/files/images/2007-09-11-sunset.gif"></custom>
