Freemarker webcontent template img element without height width attributes

Junior Member Posts: 44 Join Date: 12/18/19 Recent Posts
When I add IMG element inside freemarker template (web content template)  it appears without attributes width and height. Are there any possible ways to automatically get them there?
I use Liferay 7.0

I don't understand what you want to accomplish?
Why don't you just write the width/height directly into the image tag? Or do you want to insert the width/height of the image? If so, WHY?

I can't define exactly width and height (hardcode) in the template because when people add web content and select image they can choose different images with different sizes.
Yes, I want to insert width height into img attributes width height kinda dynamically. It is necessary to prevent page jumping while images loading.  Communicative Layout Shift metric

What do you write in your template?

<#if image.getData()?? && image.getData() != "">
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<img data-fileentryid="${image.getAttribute(" fileEntryId")}" alt="${image.getAttribute(" alt")}" src="${image.getData()}">
<!--#if-->
This code automaticcly is added when I click on the image variable in fields section of template editing mode

That code is just an example, you can freely edit it.
We often insert the image as a background image into a fixed width/height container. That way the image is automatically truncated. But please note:
There is no absolute, always correct way to do this. If an image with the wrong aspect ration is used, something of the image will be truncated. Often that's acceptable, sometimes it simply isn't. The best way to fix this is to force the editors to upload images with the right aspect ratio. e.g.:
                <div data-cmh="small-card-img" class="card__image card__image--small" style="background-image: url('${image.getData()}')"></div>

And then you set a width/height in the css class (here card__image--small).
