I have a news article that has 2 images associated with it. I don not want the images to appear within the text (therefore I do not insert {mosimage} in to the main text area of htmlarea2). I want the images to be placed on another part of the page (in another table cell in the template). Does anyone know of a good way to do this. I would like something that would allow me to put something like {mosimage} in to a table cell on my template page as if it were a module... this way the image associated with the article would be placed in that area of the page.

Hope someone out there has the answer.. thanks!

...htmlarea2 has a html mode. I have several pages on several sites that use images in them and not using {mosimage}, although I use it also cause it's a great asset. You can inserting an image anywhere using the html function of the editor. When your done with the html insert return to 'page view' to see what you get. I have found it wise to use the entire path for the image and not count on /root/ working. Don't forget to upload your pictures in the images folder. I use an external ftp for this.

...this example includes a link to another content page:

<table width="100%" align="left">
<tr>
<td height=115>
<font face=Verdana size=2><a href="http://www.yourwebsite.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=category&amp ;sectionid=xx&amp;id=xx&amp;Itemid=xx">
<IMG height=115 hspace=5 src="http://www.yourwebsite.com/members/gallery/img/imageA.jpg" width=75 border=0>
<IMG height=115 hspace=5 src="http://www.yourwebsite.com/members/gallery/img/imageB.jpg" width=75 border=0>
<IMG height=115 hspace=5 src="http://www.yourwebsite.com/images/stories/imageC.jpg" width=75 border=0>
</a>
</font>
</td>
<tr>
<td height=54>
<font face=Verdana size=2>what some of this? </font>
<font face=Verdana size=2>
<a href="href="http://www.yourwebsite.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=category&amp ;sectionid=xx&amp;id=xx&amp;Itemid=xx">CLICK HERE</a>!</font>
</td>
</table>

Sounds like a plan to me. Happy mambling!

I could be wrong but I think they were more into changing the logo depending on the content. I have not seen a great way of doing this but I just started looking at mambo like 3 days ago, which ranks in the Uber-Noob a step above the "I just bought a computer" category.

But this is what I think they meant:

For example if there are 3 pages:contact, home and product pages. And lets say you have a template that lays the site out exactly how you want it ... but you want a different logo picture on each page.... but the logo picture is being positioned in a table in the TEMPLATE and not in the content. It would be nice to have in the template an option to place the sections... instead of just one blob. Then I could make a section for the logo image and just place that in the template at the top of the page and then I could change it for each page.

so the template looks like this
HTML
HEAD
yada yada
/HEAD
BODY
TABLE
TR
TD
here is the logo BR
include section[0]
/TD
/TR
TR
/BODY
/HTML
TD
here are the body sections BR
include section[1]
/TD
/TR
/TABLE

If someone could explain to me a good way of setting this up.. it would be utterly fantastic. Thanks.

Did any of the contributors to this thread ever find an answer to this query? It's something I've been puzzled about since I found Mambo and began to play with it.

I'm not completely up to speed with php yet and therefore would prefer to avoid manually coding it if a solution already exists out there.

Cheers

I never found a solution and just ended up having the same logo for all the pages. But I still would like to have different logos depending on the page. So if you figure it out, post it. Thanks.

Have u tried using modules?

Go to manage module, create new, add in the logo as the content and choose which page(s) (of the main menu) you want this module to appear. You may need to adjust the template layout so that the logo will appear at that spot you want it to be.

this is still not placing the mosimage tag outside of the content!

i have managed with the TOC and still looking into this..

mamboduck

first of all, I have not the solution for you... sorry... but I'm looking at the forum for the same need!!

***

in my template there is a table.

into the table, two cells.

in the left one I placed the mainbody, so here goes section description, categories description, items and images related to all of them...

in the right cell there's nothing. here I would like to show the images.

not: yes:

section section image-ima
description of the section description of the section ge-image-
image related
item 1 item 1
item 2 item 2
item 3 item 3
... ...

***

If I copy the html related to the image into components/content/content.html.php into the other cell, nothing happens.

I forgot something, but what?!!?

IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO DO IT, PLEASE SEND US AN EMAIL!!
