Extra Fields image field - Get url of the image was created by Melinda McCaw

I have created an extra field that is an image and am using

<?php echo $this->item->extraFields->PartImageOne->value; ?>

to pull in the image. This works great but I want to wrap the image tag in an <a> tag and set it up to open the prettyphoto lightbox when the image is clicked.

To do so I need to be able to just populate the href in the <a> tag with the source url of the image like this:

<a href="path/to/image" rel="prettyPhoto"><?php echo $this->item->extraFields->PartImageOne->value; ?></a>

How do I get the url of the image so I can use it in my <a>?

Thanks!

Hello,

Try to use something like

<?php $fetchSrc1 = explode('src="', $this->item->extraFields->PartImageOne->value); 
$fetchSrc2 = explode('"', $fetchSrc1[1]);
?>

<a href="<?php echo $fetchSrc2[0]; ?>" rel="prettyPhoto"><?php echo $this->item->extraFields->PartImageOne->value; ?></a>
