    I’m working on custom templates. The problem is that I can’t find any documentation online for the $entry Object functions. I see that there is this function:

    $entry->getCardImage()

    But how do I get it to display the Large size instead of the Medium?

    Thanks,
    Aaron.

    The getCardImage() is an old deprecated function. I recommend not using it. The documentation for the code can be found in the source files. Most of the $entry Object functions can be found in the class.entry-output-php file.

    For images you want to the getimage() function. The documentation for its options are inline with the function, but here is an example:

    $entry->getImage( array( 'image' => 'logo', 'width' => 300, 'height' => 200 ) );

    Hope that helps!

    Thanks for the quick reply, Steve. I’m still a bit stymied, though!

    Here’s why: There is an “Images” tab on the Settings page that lets me specify sizes for Thumbnail, Medium and Large images.

    I assume there’s a way to tell the template which size to use, rather than specifying height and width when calling the function. I expect this to work:

    echo $entry->getImage(array('image'=>'photo', 'preset'=>'large'));

    But I get the message “Photo present is not valid” on the front-end. Where am I going wrong?

    Thanks,
    Aaron.

    The valid values for the preset are thumbnail || entry || profile. It is in the docs for the function. Why those names and not thumbnail, medium and large… well, once upon a time that is what the image sizes use to be named. It made sense at the time because that is how they were being used.

    Hope that helps.
