Resolved intro image and alt info problem

I have basically everything working as wanted to create an article from a form. My only issue being that a particle on the front page of my site needs to know the image in my article is the "intro image" and also the "alt" field content for that image (which is a consistent same value). I tried lots of ideas from forum posts but can't seem to make it work.


Presently the code I'm using is this:



{if $IMAGE}<img src="/{$IMAGE}" alt="{$IMAGE_ALT}">{/if}


But that doesn't seem to give the ALT value I want or have the particle on the front page recognized the added image as the intro image.

Can someone advise?

Hi Timothy,

Can you explain me what a "particle" is?
Is the front page a single Joomla article created with F2C?

I also noticed a discrepancy in the documentation (between the pdf an field pages). Can you try: {$FIELDNAME_ALT_TEXT}

Regards,
Patrick

Ok so a particle (its a Rockettheme/Gantry term) in this case would be the same thing as a module used to display my articles....

So from your instruction if "Photo" is the alt text I want recognized you want me to try:



{if $IMAGE}<img src="/{$IMAGE}" alt="{$IMAGE_Photo}">{/if}


That didn't seem to work, although I can see how it might provide the right alt-text I want i don't see how it identifies whether the pic is main image or intro image?

When you display an article it's exactly that, a 100% Joomla article. Form2Content created it but has no more influence afterwards. Smarty code won't be rendered.

Usually if you want to link 3rd party modules to article data you can link an image from Form2Content to the article image field. The module will recognise the article image and use it. This can be done via the F2C Content Type settings.

A 3rd option is to use F2C Anywhere plugin. This plugin allows you to "paste" any F2C content anywhere, including using Smarty logic.

Hope I understand your situation correct and this shelps.
