Usage of custom link of image field was created by Rooney

Hi,
I have setup an image field with a custom link. If I use the image from the field in a category blog a link is added to the image but not the custom one but the link to the full article. Is this on purpose? I remember that in earlier versions of FC the behaviour has been different and the custom link was used!

Hello

-- if you image customization parameters of the "blog" FLEXIcontent template then you get a customized image thumbnail that links to the item

-- if you add image field to a field position the you will get the image thumbnail with the custom image link

-- Flexicontent is Free but involves a big effort on our part.
Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite having a long list of functions) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?

Hi,
is there an easy way to load the custom url of an image in a template? I want to be able to load custom links of some images of a category blog.

Hi,
just wanted to ask again. Might have been that the question was treated as solved because of my first answer. Is there a way to get the linkurl in a template?

Hello

one way is not to use "image parameter" of the blog template and instead place the field in a template position

other way if you want to use the blog image placement is to modify the HTML of the template

1. Make a copy of the FLEXIcontent 'blog' template
2. Replace 2 times:

Code:

<a href="<?php echo JRoute::_(FlexicontentHelperRoute::getItemRoute($item->slug, $item->categoryslug, 0, $item)); ?>">

with:

Code:

<?php $v = isset($img_field->value[0]) && @unserialize($img_field->value[0])!==false ? unserialize($img_field->value[0]) : $img_field->value[0]; ?>
<a href="<?php echo @$v['link'] ? $v['link'] : JRoute::_(FlexicontentHelperRoute::getItemRoute($item->slug, $item->categoryslug, 0, $item)); ?>">
