How to wrap a php image link ?

vrijvlinder · May 2014

Hi, I am making an alternate module to the UserInfo Module to go on the Panel instead of the Content area and organizing it nice. I have one problem though and that is I need to wrap the image from Symbol edit in a < dd > so it lines up nice in the grid. It guessing but it bonked me so I think I need some pointers.

Below is the link I want to wrap in < dd > . I am sure it is something obvious but I would like to learn to do this well and for other things. I did this to the world flags plugin so the flag would show in the proper place. Bellow is the image link for Symbol Edit. How would you wrap it ?

echo Img("plugins/SymbolEdit/design/images/" . $symboldir . "/" . $SymbolUser . ".png", array('alt' => 'Symbol', 'title' => '', 'class' => "Symbol"));

I was able to figure this out by echoing the < dd > as bellow.

echo "<dd>";  echo Img("plugins/SymbolEdit/design/images/" . $symboldir . "/" . $Sender->User->SymbolUser . ".png", array('alt' => 'Symbol', 'title' => '', 'class' => "SymbolProfileSize")); echo "</dd>";

This will work with anything you want to add to that dl . If you make plugins that add info or images to that list, I recommend you add those < dt > and < dd > so it shows nicely.

echo Wrap(Img("plugins/SymbolEdit/design/images/" . $symboldir . "/" . $Sender->User->SymbolUser . ".png", array('alt' => 'Symbol', 'title' => '', 'class' => "SymbolProfileSize")) ), 'dd');

echo Wrap(
  Img(
    "plugins/SymbolEdit/design/images/{$symboldir}/{$SymbolUser}.png",
    array(
      'alt' => 'Symbol',
      'title' => '',
      'class' => "Symbol"
    )
  ),
  'dd');

EDIT - Cross-post. You can use the Wrap() function if you ever want to wrap a string in an opening and closing tag. Also check out WrapIf() for even better markup.

Ah ! that looks better for sure. I spent the last hour trial and error guessing. Took me 10 bonks to get it sort of right...

I will try that one instead. You know I really don't like the way the About section displays in 2.1 , it looks very disorganized as opposed to the box in 2.0

Hopefully this module will fill in that need for someone as it does for me.

This one bonked was the first I tried... but only because of stupid mistake missing parenthesis in this part ... "SymbolProfileSize")) ), 'dd');
