Hello all i am really struggling with fetching and printing content from ezpublish.

i can grab content objects with code such as

{def $blogupdates = fetch('content','list',
hash(
'parent_node_id',269,
'limit',5))}
{foreach $blogupdates as $update}
<a href="{$update.url}">{$update.name|wash}</a>
{/foreach}

which works however i want to have granular control over all the attributes used in the print. So in one content object i have some attributes called image,title,link and content.

when i do the following

{let rotators = fetch('content','list',
hash(
'parent_node_id',324,
'class_filter_type','include',
'class_filter_array',array('frontpage_rotator'),
'limit',4))}
{debug-log var=$rotators msg='var dumping $rotators'}
{foreach $rotators as $rotator}
<a href="{$rotator.url}">{$rotator.content|wash}</a>
{/foreach}

it does not display the content, any idea of how i control granular printing of content object attributes.

Thanks

Nicholas

Hi,

{foreach $rotators as $rotator}
<a href="{$rotator.url}">{$rotator.content|wash}</a>
{/foreach}

Above means , you have only content objects now. to get title, image , linkattributes

You should fetch it using data_map

Like this

{$rotator.object.data_map.title.content}

This links will be helpfull

Nicholas,

Try this this url to read http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/4_x/reference/objects/ezimageobject

{attribute_view_gui href=$node.url_alias|ezurl() attribute=$node.data_map.image image_class=small}

image_class is defined in mage.ini , it is used by image resizing library .

other wise you u cantry somewhat like these

<img src={$valid_nodes[0].object.data_map.image.content[original].full_path} width="39" height="30"/>

Hello Romeo,

Thanks again for your help

i think i am starting to understand.

so the structure is

$rotator.object.data_map.<attribute>.<what you want to extract from the attribute>

Thanks again for your help.

my solution to printing out the image url from a content object is as follows

{def $i=1}
{foreach $rotators as $rotator}
<!-- Content number {$i} -->
<div id="fragment-{$i}" class="1)}ui-tabs-hide{/if} !eq($i, {if ui-tabs-panel" style="">
<img src="{$rotator.object.data_map.image.content.rotatormain.url}" alt="{$rotator.object.data_map.image.content.rotatormain.text}" />
<div class="info">
<h2><a href="#" >{$rotator.object.data_map.title.content}</a></h2>
<p>{$rotator.object.data_map.content.content} <a href="{$rotator.object.data_map.link.url}" >read more</a></p>
</div>
</div>
<!-- End content number {$i} //-->
{set $i=inc($i)}
{/foreach}

where rotatormain is a ezimagealias as set in the image.ini file. other values that are default are original, small, medium.

for example

{$rotator.object.data_map.image.content.small.url}

will link to the small version of the image.

im now trying to find out how to link out the url to the related object in the content attribute. Any insight on that would be fantastic.

Thanks

Nicholas
