Łukasz Serwatka	Tuesday 06 March 2007 12:57:53 am Hi, If I understand you correct, you can solve it by passing size variable to included template {include uri="design:mytpl.tpl" image_size=small} then in template use {$highlight.object.data_map.image.content[$image_size].width} of course you need to change every tpl code where you use image alias.

paul bolger	Tuesday 06 March 2007 4:50:35 pm Hi Lukasz Sorry, I mustn't be making myself clear. The problem is that the two templates, 'bighighlights' and 'smallhighlights', are supposed to give their images different image aliases. The width attribute on the dt is also a problem, but I'll worry about that when I've got the images appearing correctly. The problem is the line {attribute_view_gui attribute=$highlight.data_map.image image_class=smallhighlights} results in whatever image alias is set in the image.tpl template. I've tried the {$highlight.object.data_map.image.content[smallhighlights].full_path} method but that doesn't seem to work. From what I understand I either need to call the attribute directly, bypassing the view templates, or override the view (twice, once for each bighighlights, once for small highlights) later on. But I'm not sure how to do that. paul b Paul Bolger

Hi,

If I understand you correct, you can solve it by passing size variable to included template

{include uri="design:mytpl.tpl" image_size=small}

then in template use

{$highlight.object.data_map.image.content[$image_size].width}

of course you need to change every tpl code where you use image alias.

Hi Lukasz

Sorry, I mustn't be making myself clear.

The problem is that the two templates, 'bighighlights' and 'smallhighlights', are supposed to give their images different image aliases. The width attribute on the dt is also a problem, but I'll worry about that when I've got the images appearing correctly.

The problem is the line

{attribute_view_gui attribute=$highlight.data_map.image image_class=smallhighlights}

results in whatever image alias is set in the image.tpl template.

I've tried the

{$highlight.object.data_map.image.content[smallhighlights].full_path}

method

but that doesn't seem to work.

From what I understand I either need to call the attribute directly, bypassing the view templates, or override the view (twice, once for each bighighlights, once for small highlights) later on. But I'm not sure how to do that.
