So, in ee1.x this seemed to work differently via nGen File. Now that ee2.x has it’s own file field, I have come across a question/concern.

Let’s assume we created a {item_image} custom “file” field.

When using that field, {item_image} automatically gives you the absolute URL path to the image that was uploaded.

My issue is that i also used ee’s Image Manipulations to create a _default folder with images sized to a smaller size. But again, using {item_image} points directly to the original file.

How can I do one of the following.
1. Stop EE from assuming i want the absolute URL and just give me the image name only.
2. Tell EE to use that same image but within the _default folder EE itself created.

btw, _default is no different from ee’s _thumbs just contains slightly larger images.

Thanks for the help in advance!

I hope, this example code would answer your both questions:

{exp:channel:entries channel="CHANNEL_NAME"}
 ITEM IMAGE NAME: {item_image} {filename} {/item_image}
    {item_image}
        {path}_default/{filename}.{extension}
    {/item_image}
{/exp:channel:entries}

Best Regards,

Yep, this is EXACTLY what I needed! Thank You Bhashkar!
