Hi there,

I am trying to create a page that will display a bunch of graphical buttons, and depending on the language setting, the correct translated button image.

I have created a Weblog that has an entry for each button, including information like:

Title
URL (where I want the button to go to)
French Title
French URL
German Title
German URL

Here is the code I am struggling with:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{my_buttons}" disable="categories|member_data|pagination|trackbacks"}

 /img/{title}{if country_code!=
 


{/exp:weblog:entries}

The ONLY thing that gets listed is the Alt text. In Firefox, you see the failed image box for a second before it is replaced by the Alt text.

Rather than add extra fields in the weblog, I was hoping I could just use the {title} and just add the file extension to it? I’m not much of a developer, and so hoped that was doable. The reason why I wanted to use the {title} field was so that I could use it for the Alt field too. Plus my website can be seen in a few languages, and so rather than save button.png (English), button_fr.png (French) and button_de.png (German) in the weblog, I hoped to just use a bit of code.

I can check the image is there and working by just doing:

/img/videos.png

And it works just fine, so I know the image is there and works.

Any clues to where I am going horribly wrong?

Ok… my {title} entry in the weblog was capitalised, and the files names were lower case…

Is there a trick to making the contents of {title} lower case, whilst leaving the contents of the field be? I have simply added another field where I’ve placed the lower case word into, but was hoping for a more elegant solution - but needs must 😉
