Re: Publisher Random Item Image

I'm not a programmer but couldn't there just be an IF/ELSE in the tpl file to show the image?

you can see what's happening with it at franksrecipes.net

items_random_item.php change the publisher_items_random_item_show function
function publisher_items_random_item_show($options)
{
    
$block     = array();
    
$publisher PublisherPublisher::getInstance();
    
// creating the ITEM object
    
$itemsObj $publisher->getHandler('item')->getRandomItem('', array(PublisherConstants::PUBLISHER_STATUS_PUBLISHED));

    if (!
is_object($itemsObj)) {
        return 
$block;
    }

    
$block['content']       = $itemsObj->getBlockSummary(300true); //show complete summary  but truncate to 300 if only body available
    
$block['id']            = $itemsObj->itemid();
    
$block['url']           = $itemsObj->getItemUrl();
    
$image                  $itemsObj->getMainImage();
    
$block['image']     = $image['image_path'];
    
    if(!
$block['image']){
        
$block['image'] = "path_to_your_default_image";
    } 
    
    
$block['lang_fullitem'] = _MB_PUBLISHER_FULLITEM;

    return 
$block;
}
in template add this
<img src="<{$block.image}>"/>

Re: Publisher Random Item Image

OK, that worked, HOORAY!

But it caused another problem. Not sure why

The first line of the tpl file I had inserted

<{$block.title}>

so that it would display the title of the item.

the next line is your block image, modified as



So now it displays the image correctly, and the beginning text of the article, but it stopped showing the Title. Now sure why that's happening

Add this line to the Block function
$block['title']            = $itemsObj->title();
