Images appear as URL

Hi @designbyjm,
Thanks for bringing this up, hope you’re having a good day.

That’s the expected behavior for block_field(), it echoes the image URL.

To echo an actual <img> with the right image, how about something like this, from the documentation?

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

Ahhhh, interesting.
I guess I would assume that adding the block would add the front-end display as well.

I wish you guys had more documentation around adding custom post types to this. I am working on a project where I really don’t want to use the Views solution from Toolset but I want to be able to add a Block super fast from a Post.

Hi @designbyjm,

Hm, there’s documentation here:

…but it sounds like Block Lab came across as a different solution than it is.

Hi @ryankienstra,
For someone that doesn’t really write code in WordPress but does use Custom Post Types; it’s always nice to have options to not have to write code and have integrations in Blocks editor.
Thanks!
