editing the view of the default image block

Permalink 1 user found helpful November 24, 2013 at 1:31 PM

hi.

i need to remove parts of the output of the image block. (remove the width="" and height="")

so i thought ok i will just copy the image block from concrete/blocks/image and then edit the view.php to not output the widths and heights that are playing havoc with my responsive design.

i find that the view just has:

<?php 
defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die("Access Denied.");
echo($controller->getContentAndGenerate());
?>

and the controller has:

<?php 
   defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die("Access Denied.");   
   class ImageBlockController extends Concrete5_Controller_Block_Image {
   }

does anyone know how i can find the parts that output anything? as i dont know where to look next.

thanks :)

everything you're looking for should be in the last block controller function:

function getContentAndGenerate

sorry, the base controller.php code you want to use for the controller is located in concrete/core/controllers/blocks/image.php

check out the block i posted here for a already working copy if you're interested. only modification made to it is appending base-url to href for rss feeds that pull images...

ok thanks.

guess i would just need to comment out the one line:

//$sizeStr = ' width="' . $thumb->width . '" height="' . $thumb->height . '"';

hmm when i edit the concrete/core/controllers/blocks/image.php file nothing happens to the image.

even if i delete everything out of there and clear cache

Try concrete/core/controllers/blocks/image.php

I usually deal with the resizing of images in responsive designs by adding the following to the css:

img {
 max-width: 100%;
 height: auto;
}

I wonder if this would work for you

yep thats what i use but in this case the html height was conflicting for some reason.
