You will need to change the form ID on line 4, from 171 to your actual form ID.</p> <p>I took your content template and will use that when an image is uploaded. When no image is submitted with the form, since it's not a required field, an alternate content template will be used, with just <strong>{Details:2}</strong> in it. Let me know if you have any questions. I removed some blank lines. I was not sure if they were intentional for layout or not. You can add them back in if you need them. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/make-an-image-a-link-in-post-template#post-77494 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 12:13:04 +0000 Chris Hajer 77494@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Can you export your form please as XML (Forms &gt; Import/Export &gt; top menu item "Export Forms") and email it to me at <a href="mailto:chris@rocketgenius.com">chris@rocketgenius.com</a> please?

Glad you were able to figure that out. We'll take a look at the documentation.</p> <p>Regarding your new issue, if the field is not required, and you add the HTML to your content template, it will result in broken HTML as you have discovered. </p> <p>The <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Shortcodes#Conditional_Shortcode" rel="nofollow">conditional shortcode</a> does not work in the content template area. You may have to use your page or post template to conditionally include the HTML if there is a value in the field. Or you can use the <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_submission_filter" rel="nofollow">gform_pre_submission_filter</a> to change the postContentTemplate and make your merge tag conditional. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/make-an-image-a-link-in-post-template#post-77354 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 17:01:13 +0000 UWEX 77354@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I got it working, but your example is just a tad off I think.</p> <p>{Image:5:url} still generates a full on Image tag, but if you include a SIZE before url..</p> <p>{Image:5:large:url} ... that gives you just the URL. </p> <p>However, I've now found another problem that I'm less optimistic that you can help me with. What I wanted to do was make the small Image a link to the big, by putting this in the Template:<br /> <pre><code>&lt;a href=&#39;{Image:5:large:url}&#39;&gt;{Image:5:small}&lt;/a&gt;</code></pre> <p>The problem is that the field isn't required, and it generates some broken HTML if no image is uploaded. Is there any workaround to this? For example...<br /> <code>{gf_if Image:5:large:url} :all my code: {/gf_if}</code> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/make-an-image-a-link-in-post-template#post-77342 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 15:52:58 +0000 Rob Harrell 77342@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You should be able to use a merge tag like this to get the url value: {Post Image:5:url}</p> <p>See this page of documentation:<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Merge_Tags" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Merge_Tags</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/make-an-image-a-link-in-post-template#post-77341 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 15:50:03 +0000 UWEX 77341@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>When creating a post from a public-facing Gravity Form, I am able to insert an image of any size I want. However, I can't figure out how to make that image a link to the original size.</p> <p>Any ideas? I'm thinking I need to do something akin to:</p> <p><a href='{something}' rel="nofollow">{Image:5:small:right}</a> .. but have no idea how to get the '{something}' in the Template. </p>
