Hi,
I have a matrix field called “embedded_images” with three columns:
1) image (this first column is a “copee pastee” cell type, enabling me to copy and paste “image_1”, “image_2”, etc into the “summary” field.
2) image_upload
3) image_text
Im trying to use String to place an image in an entry and can successfully do this but when I add the “image_text” tag neither the image or the “image_text” appears.
My code looks like this:
{exp:channel:entries channel="news"}
{embedded_images}
{exp:string:set name="image_{row_count}"}
<img src="{image_upload}">
{image_text}
{/exp:string:set}
{/embedded_images}
{exp:string:output}
{summary}
{/exp:string:output}
{/exp:channel:entries}
Any help with this would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello Kippi,
I’m not sure I understand your code fragment, it looks like something is missing. Should there be a {exp:string:append name=“summary”} tag pair inside the {embedded_images} tag pair?
Sincerely,
Jack Scott

From looking at your code fragment, you don’t appear to be setting the summary string at all. Try something like:
{exp:channel:entries channel="news"}
{embedded_images}
{exp:string:set name="image_{row_count}"}
<img src="{image_upload}">
{image_text}
{/exp:string:set}
{exp:string:append name="summary"}{image_text}{/exp:string:append}
{/embedded_images}
{exp:string:output}
{summary}
{/exp:string:output}
{/exp:channel:entries}
Sincerely,
Jack Scott

Hi,
Thanks for your fast reply.
I tried your code but unfortunately it didin´t work.
My template is outputting this:
Image Text{/exp:string:set} {image_1}
So the “image text” is being outputted but not the “image”

I found and fixed an error in the previous sample, I had an exp:string:set close tag instead of a exp:string:append close tag. Try the previous code sample again.
Are you using the String module to change a matrix field from a template? String can’t change a channel or matrix field, all it does is store strings in one part of your template and recall them later on.
