Media gallery image display from form in page

Alan Isaacson asked on December 2, 2015 14:14

On one of my page types I have a media selection field that allows me to include an image from a media gallery. However I cannot get the image to display on the page. If I use {% GetImage ("Currentdocument.IllustrationImageFromMediaLibrary") %> I get the image path appear. If I use <img src="{% IllustrationImageFromMediaLibrary %>" /> then I get a broken image. Is there a way via a Text/XML transformation to insert the image selected in that field to appear on a page. I do not need a repeater as it is one image on each page only.

Hello,

the Media selection form control stores paths to chosen media files, so you should be able to put the macro directly as the src attribute. However, if I take a look at your macros, there are broken with different closing bracket. The code should look like this:

<img src="{% IllustrationImageFromMediaLibrary %}" />

Best regards,

Hello,

If you don't need repeater to this image why do uoi use Text/XML transformation for displaying this? Use static text and

<img src="{% IllustrationImageFromMediaLibrary %>" />

if you want to display image from current document. This field should contains relative path to image, eg. "/EcommerceSite/media/HeadlineBannerImages/apple_ipod_shuffle.jpg?width=700&height=217&ext=.jpg"

If this doesn't help could you provide more information? Which version of Kentico do you use? List here result of your macros (broken path's to image)

Thanks for both of the answers. I needed the image in a transformation as I then add various dynamic overlays based on other fields. It was the simplicity of using the > rather than } by mistake.
