Hahaha, nicely put.
Joseph is not the average user but as a proper workflow the use of a plugin is highly recommended.

Thanks for the compliment Krikor.

I am still open to a non-hack solution. Remember, I am not a coder, so I need an explicit solution to render an extra field image without the default markup.

Anyone willing to help, please provide a copy & paste solution, something like...

<?php blah blah ExtraField -> alias -> blah blah ?>

to render any extra field image path only

/path/image.jpg

You can try this method, i posted Here

<?php
        $string = $this->item->extraFields->GALLERYIMAGE->value;
        preg_match('/<img(.*)src(.*)=(.*)"(.*)"/U', $string, $result);
        $imgsrc = array_pop($result);
        ?>

Item title as image alt

<img src="<?php echo $imgsrc ?>" alt="<?php echo $this->item->title; ?>" />

or custom alt

<img src="<?php echo $imgsrc ?>" alt="George Kollias - Death Metal Drummer" />

I find it easier to just use a "Text Field" as the extra field type and then just echo the value as the src.

Hi Michael,

I find it easier to use the Image Field for selecting a desired image. Using a text field requires knowing the path to the image (by memory or copying and pasting it from another browser window - which is multiple steps in itself).

I really wish there was a parameter to disable the markup that is outputted when using the K2 Image Extra Field and provide a clean image path - so non-coders such as myself would not need to modify the K2 code to receive the same results.

Regards,

Joe

Hi Kannan,

I too prefer not to hack, but find it necessary at times.

In this case, you would have to specify every extra field that you want to output as an image path.
Which would require the you to update the code if any extra fields are changed (alias) or added.
This would be more complicated and time consuming than changing a small line of code.

I really wish there was a paramter to enable/disable markup for K2 extra field images.

Cheers,

Joe

Hello Krikor,

I use K2 as an absolute alternative of Joomla article manager. but I have a great issue with its SEO. K2 has great capabilities but in SEO it decrease my search appearance. Here I just saw you mentioned changing the default robot.txt
Actually I have never changed this. I am using joomla 3.6.3. Do you think this might have been the reason?
besides, I have applied all the necessary SEO tags in them including schema.org standards. and everything possible in SEO.

Joomla! blocks the access to the /media folder. The media folder contains the images so this is not so good.
This can have an impact on your SEO.

You can also take a look at: extensions.joomla.org/extension/econa-for-joomla-articles-and-k2-items

Thanks for your reply. I did not understand how that extension which you suggested going to help.
but thanks for letting me know about that joomla blocks the \media directory.
K2 is great but it reduces the search appearances a lot. and make the images very hidden in the system unless the code is changes.
the name change and random names is one of them.

K2 does not hide images, if you have a correct alt tag (which K2 produces btw) then you are ok.

Furthermore as explained in my previous post, you simply need to comment out a single line in the default robots.txt file.

The extension I posted will let you keep the original name of the image and provide some other functionality as well. It is completely unrelated to the robots.txt.
