How to put {ANY_ALIAS_IMG} into header of template?

jo · Post by jo » Tue 4. May 2004, 20:48

Hi all,
It is my first post and first question.

Is there a way to put dynamic image {placeholder/replacement} in the header part of template?

Let’s say if I go to url index.php?contact I will have image contact.jpg
displayed in header and if I go to index.php?any_alias I will see anyaliass.jpg in a header part of the page?

hello

there are two ways! one you create for each its own template!
or you ask jan212 for his script! or you wait for the next release.*smile*

ye, the first one sounds good -- but why would I need a CMS for?

if anybody know the answer, please help.
What I need is just a {IMAGE:$alias}

Hi Jo,m
here is a little code that will help you out for now. it is a bit sloppy as it is tied to the category_ID and NOT the alias: i will have a quick look later for the alias solution.

for this code you will new to....
create a dir in you img folder called 'cat_images' and place within all the images you require, these must be named the same as cat_image_(cat_id).gif (example: cat_images_1.gif)
then place this code where ever you would like, whether it be in the template or in an article.

Code: Select all

[PHP]echo "<img src=\"img/cat_images/"."cat_image_".$GLOBALS['content']['cat_id'].".gif\">";[/PHP]

some changes you may wish to make:
change this to any path you choose: "img/cat_images/"
change this to any prefix you choose: ."myFileNamePrefix".
change this to any .extension you choose: .gif

you may also change the code in various ways to create a link of the image, add ALT tags etc.
hope it helps.

ps: to have the image reflect the article_id instead of the cat_id you should do something like this...

Code: Select all

[PHP]echo "<img src=\"img/article_images/"."article_image_".$GLOBALS['content']['article_id'].".gif\">";[/PHP]

very simmiler

Code: Select all

<?php 

switch($GLOBALS['content']['cat_id']) { 

 // BOF 1=Your cat with ID 1
case 1: echo '<img src="img/head/my_img_1.jpg" alt="alt">'; break; 
 // EOF 

 // BOF 2=Your cat with ID 2
case 2: echo '<img src="img/head/my_img_2.jpg" alt="alt">'; break; 
 // EOF 
// to be continued...

default:    echo '<img src="img/head/my_def_img.jpg" alt="alt">'; 

} 

?>

Desc:
case "cat_id_int":echo '<img src>'; break;

Save the code from the code block below uner a new file. place it in the inc_ext folder in a new folder and call it like

{PHP:include/inc_ext/myfolder/myexample.php}
