Hi Marco and Chris.. Long time since I was back online I know, but many many thanks for your responses, it is all working with your suggestions now :). I still did the cfdump to try to see why my code didn’t work...
When I couldn’t get the skin:view code to work, previously I tried: <cfoutput> <img src="#application.url.webroot#/images/dmImage/ #stObj.sourceImage#" width="#stObj.width#" height="#stobj.height#" alt="#stobj.alt#" title="#stobj.alt#" /> </cfoutput> I did a dump of this the image was where I though it should be, ie “SOURCEIMAGE /images/dmImage/SourceImage/midstateSide3.jpg” Then after reading your posts I changed my code to <cfoutput> <img src="#application.url.imageroot##stobj.sourceImage#" width="#stObj.width#" height="#stobj.height#" alt="#stobj.alt#" title="#stobj.alt#" /> </cfoutput> the image displayed perfectly, it worked... the dumps however are identical, but because I used the path of the images and didn’t use “imageroot” in my first code sample it didn’t work. On another note, I still can’t understand why this code doesn’t work: <skin:view objectid="#stobj.SourceImage#" typename="dmImage" template="displaySourceImage" /> I get the error “The OBJECTID argument passed to the getData function is not of the type uuid. If the component name is specified as a type of this argument, its possible that a definition file for the component cannot be found or is not accessible.” That is, there is a file in farcry/core/dmImage/ displaySourceImage.cfm, and if you have your displayTeaser.cfm template in your own farcry/projects/sitename/dmImage directory shouldn’t this work?.. I am curious what I am missing here.. so if anyone stumbles upon it when doing something be sure to post. In the mean time mine is working without using the skin:view.. code with your help Marco and Chris so again many thanks, Helen.
