| Jan 5, 2019 at 1:08 | comment | added | user1149499 | @Kevin, thanks for sticking with me on this. Is there a way to implement this that's relatively newbie friendly? I've heard of hooks as a term but have never used them. Where's the best place to start? Also, in your comment, the "pretty easy with..." can you give me the syntax for how this would be done? Are you talking about something within a .theme file? Or (inadvisable as it may be) doing it on the page itself. If so, I think the "list field" part might be what I'm missing -- how do I do that part? Again, thank you in advance for any additional info/help! | |

| Jan 5, 2019 at 0:27 | comment | added | user1149499 | Thank you, Kevin. I am fairly new...was hoping to do this in the node Content itself using php. Is that just silly? Impossible? Alternately, is there a good place to start learning what a preprocess_hook is and how to use it? My other alternative would be to split the field into its various values and just do it binarily -- "if exists, rewrite the background-image" otherwise display none. If that's easier in my case, I could opt for that. It would suck to add 6 fields into the node but I don't have thousands of nodes...30 or 40 or so. If that's the easiest, I'll do it that way. | |
