Hi again,

OK so I solved it. I'm a part time developer so this can obviously be improved to ensure the attachment is an image before displaying but that's all secondary and a lot easier after getting the image to display in the first place. So here is my little contribution in case any one needs it. The same principle can be used to display any data field.

API HELP CENTER DOC

Thanks again guys.

Ok guys, so almost there, I can now get the URL of the attached image and display the URL in a div using JQUERY and AJAX. I am now trying to  get the URL into the src of an element by giving it an id. Any help would be appreciated.

This is my code below.

This must be run after:

{{#if promoted_articles}}
{{#each promoted_articles}}

in order to pick up the {{id}} of the article.

I should have an update by Monday but will keep checking to see if anyone has found a solution.

Cheers

 

@wes @Elliott, many thanks for having a look. I have been looking at the API and I almost have this resolved.

Using the API call below, I can see the attachment url.

GET /api/v2/help_center/articles/{article_id}/attachments.json

I now need to figure out how to grab it and use it to display the image. I'll update with my full code once complete.

Cheers.

Hi all,

I'm very new to this so any help would be appreciated. I'm customizing a template and want to display an imaged attached to a Promoted Article on the Home Page. I can get the Promoted Article 'Title', 'URL' and 'EXCERPT' but can't seem to be able to access the attachment. This is what I have below:

{{#if promoted_articles}}

{{#each promoted_articles}}

{{/each}}

{{/if}}

Does not seem to like the call for attachments and I'm not sure if this is just because it's on the home page or if I'm using it incorrectly. See attached image of what the final output should look like. All works except for the image. It would be great if we could check that the attachment is an image before displaying ELSE display a default image.

Many thanks again.
