jcr path image variant

[ashilp...@gmail.com]

Hi

I'm trying to use the below as a component parameter to select an image:

@Parameter(name = "logo")

  @JcrPath(

    pickerSelectableNodeTypes = {"hippogogreengallery:imageset"},

    pickerInitialPath = "/content/gallery/logos"

  )

  String getLogoPath();

My question is, is it possible to reference a particular image variant (e.g. thumbnail) in the path? It currently just returns the path without referencing any variant i.e. the original image.

Thanks
Ashil

Try using a specified picker for images in this annotation. See [1] for more info. I think that when you use

pickerConfiguration = "cms-pickers/images"

you get a picker like when you pick images in a rich text field, where you can choose the variant in the bottom of the picker dialog. Can you see if that works? I didn't try it out.

Hi Bert

I tried the pickerConfiguration - this only limits the type of document you can pick, it doesn't let me chose a variant. It's always a particular image variant I want if that helps...

Thanks

Hi Ashil

In the rendering template (i.e., freemarker or jsp) you explicitly reference a variant by its name.

for example,  if your "document" object contains "image"  you can do the below to access "thumbnail"  variant in freemarker template.

<@hst.link hippobean=document.image.thumbnail/>

This will give you the context path to the image variant "thumbnail"

Hope this helps.

Mahesh

Hi Mahesh

This works if i'm referencing an image which is part of the document bean, but for an image I've added as a component parameter I can't seem to access any of the variants.

Thanks!

If you have only the repository path to a node that you want to use in the site, you have to retrieve the bean yourself, for example like this;

final Object logo = RequestContextProvider.get().getObjectBeanManager().getObject(logoPath);
request.setAttribute("logo", logo);

Then you can use the logo bean as Mahesh mentioned:

<@hst.link hippobean=logo.thumbnail />

Thanks Bert and Mahesh - that works now.

Thanks
