Where do I put the "SCale Image" Code?

Permalink
Hi,

Thanks for the tutorial, I made it work on my site (www.manimanteatro.it) even if I have to work a bit on the CSS.

But I didn't understand WHERE to paste the "scale image" code you write.

Can you help me?

Thanks

In your site's empty root-level blocks/ folder, create a folder named image, and copy concrete/blocks/image/view.php into blocks/image/. Then, open it in a text editor and make the changes below:
<div class="main-image">
<?
$v = View::getInstance();
if ($v->getThemeHandle() == 'c5touch') { 
   $ih = Loader::helper('image');
   $ih->outputThumbnail($f, 275, 1000);
   ?>
<? } else { ?>
   <div><img src="<?=$f->getRelativePath()?>" class="footer-image" 
width="<?=$f->getAttribute('width')?>" height="<?=$f->getAttribute('height')?>" 
alt="footer image" /></div>
<? } ?>
<? if ($altText) { ?>
<div class="main-image-caption"><?=$altText?></div>
<? } ?>

Sorry to bother you again, but I did what you wrote and it keeps not working.
Plus, I didn't understand if I have to replace the code contained in the view.php file with the one you enclosed and save it in root/blocks/image or to add the code.

I tried either way, but it doesn't work:
when I open the site from a computer, I have 2 different behaviour:
1. the site is displayed until the first image is found, then blank.
2. everything but the background is blank.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

im pretty sure you have to add it, and use an new image block, but im not sure. just got the code fromhttp://andrewembler.com/concrete5/optimizing-your-concrete5-website...
