      In your calling template you do something like:

      {attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.file link_text='Download'}

      Then in your attribute template you can access this variable by doing something like:

      {$link_text}

    If you are displaying the image datatype (not objectrelation as the normal article class contains) you have the possiblility to set the size with image_class. Like this:

    {attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.myimage image_class='large'}

    Where the sizes are defined in image.ini.

      I was at first annoyed with this automatic feature, but I sort of 'tricked' it:
      created CSS and in belonging style class for this specific <p> tag, i set
      margin: 0px;
      this elegantly removed unnecessary space which <p> has by default.

      Hi,

      You can't use attribute_view_gui with shorten operator. Depending of the datatype, having something like 
      $your_attribute.content|shorten( 20...)
      should do. However, if you want to keep the attribute_view_gui mechanism, you might consider customizing the template invoked with the attribute_view_gui operator by copying it in your design folder-path. (content/datatype/view/ezstring.tpl for example).
      Therefore you can pass any parameters you want provided you handle it in the template.
