hey, I want to use types for the wordpress CMS backend of an showroom installation. I have a problem to choose a scaled image from the media library, I can only choose the original uploaded image! is there a way to choose the scaled image or to show the scaled image in the lib.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Actually yes there is. You can use the size attribute to do this.

You can have a look at the link below to see whats possible with our Types image field.

I can only use the scaled images when using the tiny editor and add media button, There I can choose my image in the pulldown. why can't I choose the image size in the pulldown when using the types media, file or whatever type?

Or is there a hint to show all images in media lib?

Hello,

That is because the field is an upload field. To the image at the various scaled sizes you will need to use the shortcode attribute for our Types shortcode as per the examples in the link below.

I have no html frontend! Is there another field type to use a image?

[Shane]

Hello,

Not sure what you mean by not having an HTML frontend but no this is the only field we have for uploading images.

Unless you want to use a WYSIWYG field and then use the media gallery to insert the image into that WYSIWYG field.

Thanks,

ok, I have a c++ opengl app in openframrworks. I only load the json from the CMS an load the files. WordPress only for backend. I didn't need to upload files, the files could uploaded direct to the Media Library. I am searching a way to choose the scaled versions from the uploaded file and put the path into the custom-field.

Hello,

Unfortunately i'm not able to assist with this one as it seems to be something that would need to go directly from the wordpress API itself.

Thanks,
