Additional page in template

[Dkozikowski+]

OK. I have decided to actually take the time and really look into this.

What tag is <IMAGE_LINK_TEXT> supposed to produce?

Is it some kind of addon?

There is no such tag pressent in pixelpost 1.5RC while looking though the index.php file.

This could be your answer. The tag, <IMAGE_LINK_TEXT>, does not work becuase it is not associated with anything related to pixelpost.

More info would be helpful.

Thanks.

Here are the additional lines that make up <IMAGE_LINK_TEXT>

in index.php:

$image_link_text = "images/$image_name";
. . .
$tpl = ereg_replace("<IMAGE_LINK_TEXT>",$image_link_text, $tpl);

I have added <IMAGE_LINK_TEXT> to the image_template.html file and it appears as it should. Add it to an alternate template file and it doesn't work at all.

all i'm really trying to do is get a text version of a static URL to the primary image. i'll then want to be able to also generate static links to previous pictures .

Something else i noticed when troubleshooting this is that if i pass the image template to the index.php page i get a similar (broken) result.

eg:

http://www.ebokeh.com/index.php?x=image generates a generally blank page (no image data)

from my understanding of how this works the above link should generate the same output as http://www.ebokeh.com (http://www.ebokeh.com/index.php), as all the ?x=image addition does is pass the image_template.html page as an argument.

I see what you mean about ?x=image but, I am still unable to find the <IMAGE_LINK_TEXT> in my index.php source code.

What version are you using?

What exactly are you trying to do?

You just want to display the url to each image on a seperate page but not clickable?

the <IMAGE_LINK_TEXT> tag is one that i added to index.php. it was done simply to allow me to have the URL to a specific image (the main image, and then previous/next as needed).

anyway that i can accomplish that would solve my problem. i was looking through the available tags and didn't see one that did that. (non-link, just text).

The version of pixelpost i'm running is 1.5 (April 2006)

thanks!

I made an addon for you. hold on a few minutes and i will upload it

i had a chance to try some more things here...

i had initially created the <IMAGE_LINK_TEXT> tag in index.php as a slightly more elegant way of achieving the plain text URL output. It does work as i expected, but only when it's added to the image_template.html.

I went through the tags section of the wiki and tried to construct the same output out of included pixelpost tags. The two tags that i need to use are <SITE_URL> and <IMAGE_NAME>

I constructed the URL to be output as such:
<SITE_URL>images/<IMAGE_NAME>

This does output the correct URL when used in my image_template.html page, but again when i put these tags into the link_template.html it does not work. i just get "images/" displayed as that's the only static text. when viewing the page source the non-parsed variables are still present.

http://www.ebokeh.com/index.php?x=link

Try this and let me know if this is what you wanted:

grab_image_path.zip

Use the tag: <FULL_IMAGE_PATH>

This addon will display all images found in your database as non clickable links in a list format.

Install my above addon, place <FULL_IMAGE_PATH> in your link template and check it out.

If the addon is not exactly what you wanted let me know how you want the links to display and i can change it for you.
