wet_thumbfilter: Renders article thumbs matching various criteria

wet · 2005-12-14 21:38:35

wet_thumbfilter displays the thumbnails for articles images meeting various filter criteria with an optional link to the articles.

Sample use:

tag	function
`<txp:wet_thumbfilter category="events" />`	displays the most recent thumbnail belonging to an article in the “events” category.
`<txp:wet_thumbfilter category="events" sortby="LastMod" offset="1" />`	displays the thumbnail which is associated with an article out of the “events” category. Articles are sorted by the date of last modification. The article at offset 1 (i.e. the second) is chosen.
`<txp:wet_thumbfilter category="events,fairs" limit="3" wraptag="ul" break="li" label="Recent pics" labeltag="h3" />`	displays thumbnails from the three most recent articles out of the “events” or “fairs” category. The thumbnails are embedded into an unordered list and labelled by a `h3`.

Download and further information. Initial plugin request and use case.

Oh, nice! Will sortby=“rand()” work?

wet · 2005-12-14 22:13:32

Of course. wet_thumbfilter just passes all “sortby” options on to the SQL query.

Great! I can use this, thanks.

thanks wet, you’re the thumbnail king

Nowadays, in this overly cluttered world you’ve got to find yourself a niche inside a niche to shine bright ;-)

Looks and works nicely. Now how do I have the thumbnail link to each of the articles? Or is that not possible in this version?

wet · 2005-12-15 20:12:18

Thanks for the input, Nichod. I was too shortsighted. After some thinking I decided to simplify the use of wet_thumbfilter and let it behave like any other ordinary tag. It now shares an attribute subset with wet_article_thumb. The plugin displays the selected thumbnail by itself, removing the need for any embracing img tag, and it will provide a link to the article as well.

I’ve adopted the samples on the initial post of this thread. Please download version 0.2 from the location given there.

Nice. How about a limit attribute? Or is it there and I’m not seeing it?

wet · 2005-12-16 05:57:54

No, there is no limit attribute. What would be the use of such an attribute?

Nichod · 2005-12-16 07:04:58

Ahh. This only shows the most recent thumbnail. Any chance of having it show the past 3?

wet · 2005-12-16 07:20:13

Of course, that’s what the offset attribute is good for.

Simple put those three lines into a form, an article or a template:

<txp:wet_thumbfilter category="events" offset="0" />
<txp:wet_thumbfilter category="events" offset="1" />
<txp:wet_thumbfilter category="events" offset="2" />

You can also add any useful HTML markup:

<ul class="gallery">
<li><txp:wet_thumbfilter category="events" offset="0" /></li>
<li><txp:wet_thumbfilter category="events" offset="1" /></li>
<li><txp:wet_thumbfilter category="events" offset="2" /></li>
</ul>

Got it?
