How to reference *just* the image part of an image node in Drupal 6

I'm building a recipe management system for a cooking website in Drupal, and I have to say the whole node / view / template thing is working very nicely! I've got one problem though and that is that I can't get a view to display JUST an image - it always comes bundled with it's title and a link through to the gallery.

Can anyone help me work out how to reference an image from a view, only displaying the image itself with no linkage or anything else?

Setup

  • Image installed
  • Content type "recipe" created
  • CCK Image field used to bring image into "recipe"
  • View created - has the right image field referenced

Can select "body" or teaser on the view options for the image field, but neither is correct really. I thought about trying to re-write the output of that field, but there is no way of just passing along the file path it seems.

Your setup is a bit confusing, as it lists both CCK ImageField and the Image Module. These two provide different ways to use images in Drupal and do not work together. In addition, you mention a 'link through to the gallery'. What gallery is this (this might give a hint on what image your view is using). – Henrik Opel
ah sorry, I meant the image node itself - the full node with all the details about the image. It's interesting that CCK and Module don't work together - shall have to look into that. – MrFidge

It sounds like you're using the node row style. If you set the row style to fields, you should be able to just display the image field.

Personally I use ImageCache for all image manipulations. Then you get a lot of options when you edit the Display Fields of your node type, e.g.

  • Image display with link to node
  • Image display with no link
  • Thumbnail display with link to original picture
  • Thumbnail display with no link

etc etc. Very useful, but it might confuse things further to have another image-based module doing things!
