And how does that line read now?

Code: [Select]
$old_path = $root . '/' . file_directory_path() . '/civicrm/custom' . $filename;

That's not how it read before?

Anyway, for some reason $filename is empty.  It looks like your version of CiviCRM is wrapping the results of crm_get_file() in an extra array.

Cut out that if/else block, and replace:

Code: [Select]
        // get the file details
       $file = crm_get_file(array('id'=>$id));
$filename = $file['uri'];with:

Code: [Select]
        // get the file details
       $files = crm_get_file(array('id'=>$id));
       $file = array_shift($files);
$filename = $file['uri'];

It is now outputting the text: 'found file: ~/sites/<multi-site name>/files/civicrm/custom/72_dpi_Bosc_on_Box_edited_1_f3cf598b364fe47ea155995eddd67e49.jpg'

Please remove the if/else block with the found file / cannot find file die() statements.

I just deleted the following from template.php: '   if(file_exists($old_path)) { die('found file: ' . $old_path); }
else { die('could not find file: ' . $old_path); }'

And deleted from the views theme file: echo $image_uri;

It seems to be working now. Hooray!

Now, if I want to set a different image dimension, do I do it at the end of the line below, replacing the 200 and 200?

function get_civicrm_image($id, $dimensions=array(200,200)) {

Update: I just tested that and the answer is apparently, "yes."

Yeah!
THANK YOU!

lentilsoup rocks!

Now. How do I link the image to its associated event page?

Hehe!

You have no idea how happy you've made me. Yesterday was the worst day I've had in years; today is looking up. :)

Glad you got it working!

For the reference of future visitors to the thread: the original code will work, provided you're putting it in the correct files, but you may have to adapt the paths in get_civicrm_image() if your installation either uses a non-standard upload path for CiviCRM or is installed somewhere other than the domain root.

Make sure the event ID is one of the fields included in your view, and try

Code: [Select]
$event_url = url('civicrm/event/info') . '?id=' . $fields['id']->content;

okay, I added the Event ID to the view, and I've got the following in the views theme file:

Code: [Select]
<a href="<?php $event_url = url('civicrm/event/info') . '?id=' . $fields['id']->content; ?>"><?php $image_uri = url(get_civicrm_image($fields['image_1']->content)); ?>
<img src="<?php echo $image_uri; ?>" /></a>
The image is linked, but only to the front page.

THe code I gave you just assigns the URL to a variable.  It doesn't output the URL.

Oh, so do I put that in the template.php file and then call the variable from the views theme file?

No, you leave it in the views theme file, you just need to add an echo or print statement. 

I strongly recommend that you spend an hour or two learning the very basics of PHP.  It'll save you a lot of time in the long run.  Try this one.

That worked. Thanks.

I had already called it with ah echo statement, so I was halfway there.

Yes, I need to learn the basics of php, and I will give it another shot (I've tried before). I've never been good with learning new languages -- human or computer. I possess no aptitude for it. However, there is something to be said for perserverance and I will apply myself with that in mind.

Again, thank you for your help. You have the patience of a saint and the coding skills of a ninja.

The code to display custom images seems to conflict with something in CiviCRM 3.3.0. Upon upgrade the page containing the display code returned an error as follows:

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'api/File.php' (include_path='.:~/sites/all/modules/civicrm:~/sites/all/modules/civicrm/packages:.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in ~/sites/all/themes/blueprint/[sub-theme]/template.php on line 157

Commenting out the code below allows the page to display again, minus the image. Any tips on how I can adjust the code to restore the image display?

Code: [Select]
$image_uri = url(get_civicrm_image($fields['image_2']->content));
