Description
Hi,
I have:
FileField 6.x-3.0
ImageCache 6.x-2.0-beta9
Dynamic display block 6.x-1.0-rc6
I can create a ddblock, but I cannot use the imagecache pics. Even if I select "use imagecache presets" the module pulls out the original images, and not the presets.
For the time being I am using:
<?php
// use imagecache (imagecache, preset_name, file_path, alt, title, array of attributes)
if (module_exists('imagecache') && is_array(imagecache_presets()) && $vars['imgcache_slide'] <> '<none>'){
$slider_items[$key1]['slide_image'] =
'<img src="' . base_path() .
str_replace('sites/default/files/','sites/default/files/imagecache/'. $vars['imgcache_slide'] . '/',$filepath) .
'" alt="' . $result->node_title . '"/>';
} else {
$slider_items[$key1]['slide_image'] = '<img src="' . base_path() . $filepath . '" alt="' . $result->node_title . '"/>';
}
?>It works, but I would appreciate any suggestion on how to make something better than that.
Thank you for the awesome module!

When you use the imagecache presets the image cache files are used. (If you check the path the image is coming from, you would see it comes from image cache).
The problem you have maybe is that the default CSS of the module shows the image in a particular size to fit the slideshow. For other image sizes you can adjust the image width and height or if you want to let the presets set the image size, delete the image width and height from the CSS file.
For example:
change:
div.ddblock-cycle-upright10 div.slide-inner img{height:303px;margin:0 !important;padding:0 !important;width:478px;}to
div.ddblock-cycle-upright10 div.slide-inner img{margin:0 !important;padding:0 !important;}Or only delete only the height setting and make your preset the width of the slideshow.
This way you would have a fixed width and a flexible height for the images.
Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

I checked the filepath with firebug, and it pointed to the original files, not the imagecached versions.
Just to make sure, i even printed ot the filepaths that ddblock was using, and actually that's how I came out with my horrible hack.

I don't know what causes the issue in your installation. Must be something wrong with the preprocess functions you use.
Can you send your template.php file with the preprocess functions when the issue happened.
I assume that you set:
Please send the template.php file so I can help you better.
