Hi Guys,

My problem is that I’m getting the image URL instead of the image.<img >
http://dorinvancea.com/photography/

For some reasons EE is not recognising that custom field {homeimg} as an image even though the Field Type is File > File Type:Image

I can see the thumbnail and full image in the file manager.

My code is:

{exp:channel:entries channel="post" limit="5" orderby="date" sort="desc" dynamic="on" paginate="bottom" paginate_type="field"}
<div class="image">{homeimg}</div>
{/exp:channel:entries}

Server Path to Upload Directory: /home1/dorinvan/public_html/photography/website/ee_uploads/
URL of Upload Directory: http://dorinvancea.com/photography/website/ee_uploads/
Allowed File Types: Images Only
ee_uploads has 777 file permission

Default HTML Buttons: [![Link:!:http://]!]

Am I doing something wrong ... ?

Thanks !

I am pretty sure getting the image url from a custom file field is default; someone correct me if I am wrong.

Have you tired this?

{exp:channel:entries channel="post" limit="5" orderby="date" sort="desc" dynamic="on" paginate="bottom" paginate_type="field"}
<div class="image">{homeimg}</div>
{/exp:channel:entries}

I like to use the imgsizer plugin too (http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/image-sizer/).

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. It is a fix but not exactly what I want.

I’m using Pixel and Tonic Wygwam with EE and I don’t have “upload file” because of this problem.

Hi Dorin,

you insert an image inthe wygwam field, right? Or do you upload it in another custom field? It’s bit unclear to me.

Hi Dorin,

I’m using a Field Type: File (image only) {homeimg}, but I would also use wygwam.

If you’re using a custom field, then you’ll need to change your code as mz91184 showed.

Thanks for the assist, webnology and mz91184. What you’re seeing is expected behavior, the easiest way to fix it is to use the code listed above by mz91184. Make sense?

Thank’s all for all your replies.

Makes perfect sense but I was confused. On another website that I did I used it without including it in {homeimg} It worked perfectly without the “” /.
After all, I think this is the purpose of Default HTML Buttons(img)... to insert the link automatic in <img >

Thanks once again !

Very glad to see you’re all set. Please post again as needed.
