Please have a good look at the tutorials / docs , it explains quite a bit about the Image type.

Hi,

I'm trying to do this too - I think I've followed through the steps suggested above, but it doesn't seem to be finding the function.

Have put:

function RandomImage( $strLeftDirName )
{
if ( !is_string( $strLeftDirName ) )
{
return false;
}
$left_dir = DataObject::get_one("Folder", "Name = \"$strLeftDirName\"");
$randImg = ( $left_dir->ID ) ? DataObject::get_one("Image", "ParentID = $left_dir->ID", true, "RAND()" ) : false;
return $randImg->Filename;
}

function init() {
parent::init();

Requirements::themedCSS("style");

}

in Page.php, and have put:

<img src="$RandomImage(assets/Uploads)" />

in Page.ss.

I'm just getting:

<img src="" >

No error message... what am I missing?

thanks,

Ben

Hello i have in the Page.php

function RandomImage( $strLeftDirName )
{
if ( !is_string( $strLeftDirName ) )
{
return false;
}
//$strLeftDirName2 = $strLeftDirName."\\_resampled\\";
$left_dir = DataObject::get_one("Folder", "Name = \"$strLeftDirName\"");

$randImg = ( $left_dir->ID ) ? DataObject::get_one("Image", "ParentID = $left_dir->ID", true, "RAND()" ) : false;
//resize(25,35);
return $randImg-> Filename;
}

in the function :class Page_Controller extends ContentController !

and in the Sidebar.ss, at the end!

<a href="bilder/" ><img src="$RandomImage(foldername)" width="150" alt="$Title photo" /></a></p>

i hope you can do it ! here the url from the projekt website http://www.nree.ch/

I've also the same problem with creating a thumbnail.

I use;

 

class ProjectHolder_Controller extends Page_Controller {
	 function randomProject() {
		$imageField = DataObject::get_one('ProjectPage', "", "", 'RAND()');
		return $imageField;
	} 
}

And in my Template i use:

 $randomProject.Photo1 

Simply $randomProject.Photo1.SetWidth(100); is not possible. Is there a solution to create a thumbnail ?
