Changing the pivotx tag html tag output.

[kelon]

Hi. I'm new to Pivotx but consider I've got on quite well with it so far. A question I've not been able to resolve myself though I suspect it is probably straightforward is:

In my user profile, the "text editor" is: Wysiwig.

Using the "edit Image" page, in the "body" area I've added some images using:

Code: Select all

 [[image file="folder/image.jpg" width="541" height="691" alt="Some words here" ]]

When this outputs (as a result of [[ body ]] in the template), it wraps the image in a <div> tag with a class="pivotx-wrapper".

I don't want this. What's the best approach to changing this so it does not wrap the image in a <div>?

Thank you for stopping by, hope you can help. Cheers.

What don't you want? The class or the div? You can read the template tag behaviour here: http://book.pivotx.net/page/app-b#anchor-image
I think when you use the align option the wrapper is not there (but I am not sure).

You can also use tag popup (http://book.pivotx.net/page/app-b#anchor-popup) together with a thumbnail or extension image tools (http://extensions.pivotx.net/entry/30/imagetools) to manipulate settings for images.

Does this help for your problem?

Hi Harm

Thank you for pitching in. Ideally I don't want the <div> at all.

I've already looked at all the resource you kindly offer and even installed the Image Tools extension.

I'm thinking I just write the html <img> tag directly into the entry editor don't I. Though I presumed it's "just better" to use a [[ image ]] tag.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Just a quick note: I've changed the smarty module so I can use the [[ image ]] tag.

Perhaps you can post your change here. Maybe it gets officially incorporated........

Smarty has a html_image tag - didn't know there was an image tag?

Hi. I'm not ignoring this thread or your request to explain. I'm a bit stacked out and don't want to respond with a rushed document. Thanks for your patience.

Hello. Now I'm really embarrassed. However, thought I'd come and own up rather than abandon this thread.

More-speed-less-haste, as they say - too much pressure to do other things rather than work on my website. Having undertaken a simple but nasty hack "for now" as part of my prototype local site, I came back to do the job properly before uploading to the web - having decided Pivotx is deffo the CMS to go with (I've tried-out a number of CMS's, including Textpattern, Flatpress, GetSimpleCMS).

I intended to write a snippet extension based on the existing smarty_image() function. Well of course I realised I'd skimmed (in my haste) and missed the param option: 'inline'.

Code: Select all

 [[ image align="inline" etc., ]]

Doh. Oh boy. And it is documented. "inline" outputs the image without a div wrapper which is what I wanted.

The image is still wrapped by a html paragraph tag which irritates me and I'm pondering whether it irritates me enough to pursue a solution.

Code: Select all

 <p><img src="etc... /></p>

Thanks for your patience.

The opening and closing p tag is coming from the editor you use - not the template tag. (Switch to "None (plain XHTML)" as Text editor under "My Info" to get more control.)

Hi Hansfn. Yes I know. Editors always bug me.

I have someone who's going to write for my website as well as me, but who has no idea about html so they need to use a 'friendly' editor.

If different users use different editors then I've got to come up with css rules which will cope with the html variations, haven't I (?)

Thank you for taking the time to give your advice, that's kind.
