[SOLVED] Display canvas-image-url in other content or module?

9 years 10 months ago - 9 years 10 months ago #257745 by avateamcom
Hello,

I try to display a canvas-image somewhere else in other module/content. Ho do I have to substitute this with CB 2.0.5 and CB Subs bot?
I used

[canvas]
and
{cb}[cb:userfield field="canvas"]{/cb}

but this doesn't work at all.
Thanks for your help in advance!

-Stefan

CBSubs provides no such feature. For Joomla content you need to have CB Content Bot installed. Once installed you can use the below usages in Joomla content.

{cb}SUBSTITUTIONS HERE{/cb}

For modules you need to have CB Content Module installed then create a CB Content Module and supply it with whatever substitutions you want (no need for {cb} usage for the module).

Hi Kyle,

thank you for your answer. Unfortunately I didn't get it working. Sorry for explaining not correctly: I certainly do not use the CB subs module or anything with cb subs here, I meant a "CB substitution-possibility"..

To be more concrete: I want to show the image which is used by the user as backgroundimage in his profile (userfield "canvas") in another module. I have a position called slider which shows other images on other pages. I want to use the users image here. How can I get the url of the user canvase image in a separate module?

I found a substition [cb:userfield field="canvas" /], but it doesn't show anything at all..
I also tried the cb content module and added this substitution to it, bos this doesn't work, too.

How can this be done?
Thank you!

Best regards, Stefan

Hi Kyle and avateamcom

[cb:userfield field="canvas" /] works fine for me with use of cbcontent.
(same for [cb:userfield field="avatar" /] )

But effectively, in an article,
{cb}[cb:userfield field="avatar" /]{/cb} works fine but not {cb}[cb:userfield field="canvas" /]{/cb}

Strange.


Best regards.

The canvas field has strict styling to it. It's a DIV with a background image. This is what allows it to properly scale. You probably will need to surround it in CBs template class as follows.

Code:
{cb}<div class="cb_template">[cb:userfield field="canvas" /]</div>{/cb}

Once done you need to tell CB Content Bot to load in CBs template CSs, which is done by editing Content - Community Builder within Joomla > Plugin Manager then under Advanced tab set "Load Template" to "Yes".

Hi Kyle, hi chanteur94,

I just tried exactly as you said, but it doesn't work at all. The I tried with "avatar" as chanteur94 proposed, and well, that works fine. Is there a special thing with canvas I don't see?

It would be enough for me to get the image-url of the canvas-image. Is there any other posibility without having to change code? The surrounding div within styles can be set separately..

Thanks for your help!
Best regards, Stefan
