Image

The Image field creates a text field expecting an image URL. You have three ways to add an image: 1) click the button to upload a file, 2) click the button to choose one from your WordPress Media Library, or 3) drag-and-drop an image file onto the block.

Template Usage

To display the Image field in your template, use the field name you provided.

<img src="<?php block_field( 'pets-photo' ); ?>" />

The API will return the Attachment Post ID of the chosen image as an integer, and echo the full-size URL of the chosen image a string.

<?php
$attachment_id = block_value( 'pets-photo' );
echo wp_get_attachment_image( $attachment_id, 'thumbnail' );
?>

Example template file /blocks/block-block-lab-example.php

<?php
// Block Lab Example Image Field
?>

<p>How can you say no to a face like this?</p>
<img src="<?php block_field( 'pets-photo' ); ?>" />

To use the block with the Image field on your site, locate it in the blocks menu.

It will then display within your post/page.

And on the front-end of your site.
