[solved] [newbie] CHtml:link with an image

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hello,

I have (I hope so) a simple question…

How do I create a link with an image?

The normal way is so:




<?php echo CHtml::link([some HTML], array('view', 'id'=>$data->id)); ?>

The problem is the following:

The pictures I’d like to show are saved on my server, the path is saved in a mySQL-Database.

Here is the structure:

id int(11) auto_increment

picturenumber int(11) -> imagename on the server

gallery int(11) -> FK to another table (at the moment not relevant)

portfolio bool

How the pictures are stored:

server/gallery/[gallery]/[picturenumber].jpg

And now the big question…

What have I to insert in the server/protected/views/gallery/_view.php?

It must be something like this ;)

<?php echo CHtml::link(<img src=“gallery/”$data->gallery/th_$data->picturenumber.jpg" alt="$data->picturenumber.jpg" />, array(‘view’, ‘id’=>$data->id)); ?>

And the output must be like this:


<a href="server/index.php?r=pictures/view&id=[id]">

  <img src="server/gallery/[$data->gallery]/[$data->picturenumber].jpg" alt="[$data->picturenumber]">

</a>

You answered yourself, just have to use appropriate apostrofe…




echo CHtml::link('<img src="server/gallery/'.$data->gallery.'/th_'.$data->picturenumber.'.jpg" alt="'.$data->picturenumber.'.jpg" />', array('view', 'id'=>$data->id));

or for more Yii way




$imghtml=CHtml::image('server/gallery/'.$data->gallery.'/th_'.$data->picturenumber.'.jpg', $data->picturenumber.'.jpg');

echo CHtml::link($imghtml, array('view', 'id'=>$data->id));

What about CHtml:link with an image and a confirm message?

I tried it but there is something wrong:




$image = CHtml::image( 'images/x.png', 'Delete', array('title'='Delete'));

echo CHtml::link($image, '#', array('confirm' => 'Are you sure you want to delete this item?'));
