I am trying to get my an image upload field value in the article category module (field name is: main_image). The field is using custom storage and is mapped to "images".
When I place this in my template "<?php echo $item->images; ?>" I get "::main_image::images/articles/16/2004lamborghinigallardo.jpg::/main_image::"
When I try "<?php echo CCK_Article::getValue( $item->id, 'main_image' ); ?>" I get nothing.
How do I access the actual URL for the image?
Thanks!
Hello neosdesign,
welcome on SEBLOD forum.
The custom storage is only necessary for FieldX and GroupX.
In 99% of case, you must use the STANDARD storage.

Looking through this thread:
http://www.seblod.com/v2/forum/108-Tips-and-tricks/28509-Get-values-from-fields-anywhere.html?limit=15&start=30
I was under the impression that custom storage is much easier to access since I just had a quick line of php as opposed to a database query.
How do I get just the url from this: " ::main_image::images/articles/16/2004lamborghinigallardo.jpg::/main_image:: "
Hello neodesign,
simply with a str_replace in PHP.
But like said previously, it's better to use the STANDARD storage.
Best regards
