Inserting Taxonomy Images into nodes

description

These snippets allow you to insert Taxonomy images into your nodes, when using the taxonomy_image.module.

usage

Requires the taxonomy_image.module to be installed and enabled
Use a text editor like notepad.exe or equivalent to copy and paste the snippets below into your template.php file and node.tpl.php (or node-type.tpl.php) files respectively
Upload your edited your template.php file and node.tpl.php (or node-type.tpl.php) files to your active theme folder.

step 1 of 2

To override the default taxonomy_image layout copy the following snippet, using an editor like notepad.exe, name it TEMPLATE.PHP and upload it to your active theme folder.

If you already have a TEMPLATE.PHP file in your active theme folder, simply add the above to the existing TEMPLATE.PHP file and upload it.

NOTE: This is not to be confused with the template.php file in the /THEMES/ENGINES/PHPTEMPLATE folder. themes/engines/phpTemplate.

<?php
function _phptemplate_variables($hook, $vars) {
  if ($hook == 'node') {
    if (module_exist("taxonomy_image")) {
       foreach (taxonomy_node_get_terms($vars['node']->nid) as $term) {
        $vars['taxonomy_images'][] = taxonomy_image_display($term->tid, "alt='$term->name'");
       }
    }
  }
return $vars;
}
?>

step 2 of 2

Copy the following snippet into your your node.tpl.php or node-type

.tpl.php file, where you want the taxonomy images to display. Edit the class names and adjust the layout to suit.

<div class="taximage">
<?php print $taxonomy_images[0] ?>
</div>

Drupal5 taxonomy image

guitarmiami - March 28, 2007 - 18:07

The code didn't work for me in Drupal 5 until I changed module_exist to module_exists:

<?php
function _phptemplate_variables($hook, $vars) {
  if ($hook == 'node') {
    if (module_exists("taxonomy_image")) {
       foreach (taxonomy_node_get_terms($vars['node']->nid) as $term) {
        $vars['taxonomy_images'][] = taxonomy_image_display($term->tid, "alt='$term->name'");
       }
    }
  }
return $vars;
}
?>

Does anyone know how to insert taxonomy images into the page template (page.tpl.php) and not just the node templates?

taxonomy image in the page template

I dunno how great of a solution this is but you can try this (in drupal 5).

<?php
function _phptemplate_variables($hook, $vars) {
  if ($hook == 'node') {
      if (module_exists("taxonomy_image")) {
       foreach (taxonomy_node_get_terms($vars['node']->nid) as $term) {
        $GLOBALS['taximages'][$vars['node']->nid]=taxonomy_image_display($term->tid, "alt='$term->name'");
        $vars['taxonomy_images'][] = taxonomy_image_display($term->tid, "alt='$term->name'");
       }
    }
 }
return $vars;
}
?>

and then in the page.tpl.php file use

<?php
 print $GLOBALS['taximages'][1] 
?>

or something similar like

<?php
 
 foreach ($GLOBALS['taximages'] as $image){
 print $image;
 break;
 }
?>

it should probably involve some if exists type logic...

You can also change

You can also change this:

<?php
 if ($hook == 'node') { 
?>

to:

<?php
 if ($hook == 'page') { 
?>

to display the images in pageview.

Simpler than the rest

How about cutting out step 1 and just adding this to node.tpl.php :

<div class="categories">
<?php 
foreach (taxonomy_node_get_terms($node->nid) as $term) {
print taxonomy_image_display($term->tid, "alt='$term->name' title='$term->name'"); 
}?>
</div>

Works for me, displays all the images for any of the taxonomies that have images assigned to them.

for Drupal 6 you use

tomaszx - March 28, 2008 - 13:15

in node.tpl.php

foreach ($node->taxonomy as $k => $v) {
    print taxonomy_image_display($k, "alt='$term->name'");
}
