Individual Images from pages in a structure field

The CMS Questions

I’m wondering if it’s possible to access individual images from other pages.

Currently I have a blueprint that looks like this.

fields:
  text:
    label: Description
    type: textarea
    size: medium
  sections:
    type: structure
    columns:
        intro:
          width: 1/4
        images:
          width: 1/2
    fields:
        intro:
          type: text
        paragraph:
          type: textarea
        image:
          extends: sections/albums
          query: site.pages("post-images").children

I can see the ‘albums’ in the structure but I can drill down to each individual image. Only the group. Is there any way around this?

Somehow that image field in the blueprint looks wrong. You want to define a field but are extending a section?

Also, you are querying pages here, not files. You would have to set up a files field

image:
  type: files
  query: site.find("post-images").children.images

That will give you a flat list of images of all children.

Awesome! For some reason it didn’t work but now it is working. Possibly an issue with xampp.

New issue I have is I want to use 2 different styles for my image captions.

I created a select for my images with values ‘left’ and ‘bottom’.

The select is called ‘align’ in my yml file.

    <?php if ($section->postimage()->tofile()->align('left')) : ?>
      <div class="post-image-right"> <?= $section->postimage()->tofile() ?> </div>
        <figcaption class="caption-left">
          <span class="caption-bold"><?= $section->postimage()->tofile()->letter() ?> &#124; </span>
          <?= $section->postimage()->tofile()->caption() ?>
        </figcaption>
      </div>
    <?php elseif ($section->postimage()->tofile()->align('bottom')) : ?>
      <div class="post-image"> <?= $section->postimage()->tofile() ?> </div>
        <figcaption class="caption">
          <span class="caption-bold"><?= $section->postimage()->tofile()->letter() ?> &#124; </span>
          <?= $section->postimage()->tofile()->caption() ?>
        </figcaption>
      </div>
    <?php endif ?>

But it’s not recognizing the different values.

Thanks!

That code somehow doesn’t make sense to me. Could you please post the relevant blueprints to get the references right?

Are letter and align fields in a file blueprint?

Yes this is the blueprint for the image that I am referencing.

title: Image

columns:
  - width: 1/2
    sections:
      content:
        type: fields
        fields:
          caption:
            label: Caption
            type: textarea
            size: medium
  - width: 1/2
    sections:
      meta:
        type: fields
        fields:
          alt:
            label: Alternative Text
            type: text
          letter:
            type: select
            width: 1/3
            options:
              - A
              - B
              - C
              - D
              - E
          align:
            type: select
            width: 1/3
            options:
              - left
              - bottom
          link:
            label: Link
            type: url

<?php if ($image = $section->postimage()->tofile()) :?>
<div class="post-image<?= $image->align()->value() === 'right'? '-right' . '' ?>">
    <?= $image ?> 
    <figcaption class="caption-left">
        <span class="caption-bold"><?= $image->letter() ?> &#124; </span>
        <?= $image->caption() ?>
    </figcaption>
</div>
<?php endif ?>

But I’m missing the figure tag here as parent of the figcaption.
