Field Frame Matrix

Can you post your template markup?

My code changed several times after I posted this message originally as I tried a number of things. Here is what it stands at now where {photos} is my matrix field name.

The images being added to the cells are not being rendered as images but like this /images/oasis13_1.JPG

{if photos !=""}
<table>
    <tbody>
    {photos}
            <tr>
              <td>
            {exp:imgsizer:size src="{photos}" width="150"}
                <a href="http://{photos}" title="some title" class="lightbox{entry_id}">{sized}</a>
            {/exp:imgsizer:size} 
        </td>
            </tr>
    {/photos}
    </tbody>
</table>

{/if}

Okay, I noticed in the field frame CP that column labels were cell 1, cell 2, cell3. I deleted the label names and now I get what I want.

However no html is being processed.

I changed my template to this, removing the imgsizer plugin. {oursite} is a global variable http://domain.com/

<td>
{oursite}{photos}
</td>

all that renders on the site is /images/filename.jpg

Sorry for the delay… been busy fixing other bugs. But this issue is with your template markup.

Your problem is that you’re calling {photos} as a single variable tag in a couple places. As a single variable tag, FF Matrix will return a full HTML table, with the Label names as headers.

You should be using the Column Name as a single variable to get your image URL. So something like:

{photos}
    {exp:imgsizer:size src="{my_photo_col_name}" width="150"}
        <a href="http://{my_photo_url_col_name}">{sized}</a>
    {/exp:imgsizer:size}
{/photos}

Does that make sense?

Got it working now.

Thanks for your help and patience.

I just found out that matrix doesn’t support the switch tag - would it be possible to get this added to a future update?

Yup, coming in the next update 😊

Brandon, Thanks - Looking forward to it.

Hello, I’m experiencing some problems with the following code:

test template: {exp:for_loop start="1" end="5" increment="1"} {embed="packet/test_list" selected="{index}"} {/exp:for_loop}

test_list template: {exp:weblog:entries weblog="myweblog" disable="categories|trackbacks" limit="1"} {ffmatrix} <option value="{row_count}"{if embed:selected == {row_count}} selected{/if}>{name}</option> {/ffmatrix} {/exp:weblog:entries}

It occures that only the first 3 items will have selected attribute set, and the next items wont have it. (Seems like there is a problem with comparing embed:selected == {row_count} when the number is bigger than 3. Any idea?

Thanks in advance!
