<p>okay, so first my question: i'm using this snippet to put my imagefield cck into the teaser for a content type, and it's all working well - grabs the first image and throws in teaser (in case you have ten in a field that's unlimited, this is quite useful, just grabs the first one in the series for the teaser - i did NOT write this code, it came from another site, which in turn came from yet another site where yet another person was trying to hack into this)<br>
(from here: <a href="http://circlesandscissors.com/blog/theming-cck-imagefields-contemplate">http://circlesandscissors.com/blog/theming-cck-imagefields-contemplate</a> AND here: <a href="http://www.primalmedia.com/blog/building-better-drupal-photo-gallery">http://www.primalmedia.com/blog/building-better-drupal-photo-gallery</a>)</p>
<p>...how do i get the image to present some padding? right now the text is flush with right side of image...is it my syntax? am i missing a semicolon or something?? here's the code:</p>
<p>- oh, also, do you think i should be using node->body (and not just the 'body' via #value)?</p>
<pre><div class="field field-type-image field-field-image"><br> <div class="field-items" style="float:left" margin="5px 0 10px 0"><br> <span style="color: #000000"><span style="color: #0000BB"><?php </span><span style="color: #007700">if (</span><span style="color: #0000BB">$node</span><span style="color: #007700">-></span><span style="color: #0000BB">field_mainstorypic</span><span style="color: #007700">[</span><span style="color: #0000BB">0</span><span style="color: #007700">][</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'view'</span><span style="color: #007700">] > </span><span style="color: #DD0000">''</span><span style="color: #007700">) : </span><span style="color: #0000BB">?></span></span><span style="color: #000000"><span style="color: #0000BB"><?php </span><span style="color: #007700">print </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$node</span><span style="color: #007700">-></span><span style="color: #0000BB">field_mainstorypic</span><span style="color: #007700">[</span><span style="color: #0000BB">0</span><span style="color: #007700">][</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'view'</span><span style="color: #007700">] </span><span style="color: #0000BB">?></span></span><span style="color: #000000"><span style="color: #0000BB"><?php </span><span style="color: #007700">endif; </span><span style="color: #0000BB">?></span></span></div><br><span style="color: #000000"><span style="color: #0000BB"><?php </span><span style="color: #007700">print </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$node</span><span style="color: #007700">-></span><span style="color: #0000BB">content</span><span style="color: #007700">[</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'body'</span><span style="color: #007700">][</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'#value'</span><span style="color: #007700">]; </span><span style="color: #0000BB">?></span></span><br> </div></pre><p>...as for the opinions: per the same resource, which led to the other resource = these dudes are using a TABLE to present imagefields in rows (and absorb empty cells and so on)</p>
<p>you can see examples on that second link above, he's using it to build imagefield galleries - and it works sooo well, using it myself right now on a dev site!!</p>
<p>...but is this a good way to go? aren't tables very '97? burdensome for rendering and extensively non-compliant? thoughts? opinions?</p>
