Help for Function zen_href_link for an image

[doriggidy]

Hello,
I am new at Zen Cart and I need to modify a template I have.

I need to pull the full url for a product image. the zen_image function returns more html output than I need:

function zen_image($src, $alt = '', $width = '', $height = '', $parameters = '')

And zen_href_link inputs 'index.php?main_page=' into the url

$link .= 'index.php?main_page=' . $page;

I know I can do this a few different ways, but what is the "PROPER" Zen Approved way?

I found this thread interesting, but I just wanted to ask before I used this approach.

Could someone please suggest the best way to accomplish what I am trying to do?

I only want the url to the image

thanks

this is what I've used so far

data-largeimage="' . zen_href_link(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $new_products->fields['products_image']) . '"

data-largeimage="' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $new_products->fields['products_image']) . '"
