Hi,
I'm creating a module for my component and thought I would use the JDom to call up an image.

I'm using this as document page as a guide... www.j-cook.pro/index.php/m/module

My component is called com_organicshop. My image field is "main_image".

In my module default.php I have...

// Set up the component for JDom
	$dom = JDom::getInstance();
	$dom->set('extension', 'com_organicshop');

Is the "extension" bitcorrect?

Also

<?php // Item Image
	echo JDom::_('html.fly.file', array(
	   // Furnish the image relative path
	  'dataValue' => $item->main_image,				 
          // Define as indirect, with the root directory alias
	  'root' => '[DIR_FILES_MAIN_IMAGE]',
	  'indirect' => true,
          // Some options for Thumb creation
	  'height' => 50,
	  'width' => 50,
	  'attrs' => array('center','crop','fit'),								
));?>

But the JDom isn't showing the image - it is not rendering. Instead I'm getting this output...

<img src="/index.php?option=com_organicshop&amp;task=file&amp;size=50x50&amp;attrs=center:1,crop:1,fit:1&amp;path=[DIR_FILES_MAIN_IMAGE]/shoelaces.jpg">

Any ideas?

Just call me Chris

I worked it out...

'indirect' needed to be "false"... and 'root' needed to be "DIR_TABLE_FIELD"

<?php // Item Image
	echo JDom::_('html.fly.file', array(
	   // Furnish the image relative path
	  'dataValue' => $item->main_image,				 
	  // Define as indirect, with the root directory alias
	  'root' => '[DIR_ITEMS_MAIN_IMAGE]',
	  'indirect' => false,
	  // Some options for Thumb creation
	  'height' => 50,
	  'width' => 50,
	  'attrs' => array('center','crop','fit'),								
));?>

Pretty nifty.
