Image tags

It's been replaced by <object> tags, seeing as images are just another class of object as far as the database is concerned. Search to find out more.

As far as I know due to limitations of EZXML somethings like align and size that would otherwise work html don't work (I'm not sure about the reasons for this). However you can make the the changes in the templates. It sounds a bit complicated, but it's quite easy if you follow a step-by-step example:

Example: You want to align your image right in EZXML, align isn't allowed in EZXML so you must create a template override to be matched on class. For simplicity we'll use a table to align the object.

in override/site.ini.append.php create content.ini.append.php add these lines:

[td]
AvailableClasses[]=tdRight

In settings/override/override.ini.append.php add this:

[td_class_right]
Source=content/datatype/view/ezxmltags/td.tpl
MatchFile=tdRight.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[classification]=tdRight

now copy design/standard/content/datatype/view/ezxmltags/td.tpl
to
design/[siteaccess]/overrides/templates/tdRight.tpl

(repeat for each siteaccss you want to use it in)

and in the new file change the code so that align=right.

Clear your caches

Now in your EZXML whenever you need to align something to the right in a table: <td class="tdRight"><object id=222></td>

Changing sizes is a little more complicated, but I think I've given you enough there to figure it out. :)

FINALLY I stumbled on a solution elsewhere in the forum. I had to override C:\eZpublish\ezpublish\design\standard\templates\content\view\embed.tpl. It's working now. Pfff... The 'align' attribute still doesn't do what it's supposed to do but the 'size' attribute does. Thanks for your time, James. I think your solution would have worked too but this seems a little easier.

I still find it odd that the standard way for displaying an image (i.e. when you don't override anything) is without the image! Then again, that probably has to do with the fact that an <object> could be many different things.

Can you explain to a novice exactly how to implement the override mentioned in the above response. I too am trying to insert images in article bodies and, although the image shows correctly in admin mode, it showns only as a link in normal user mode.
