wet_for_each_image: Lists images by employing user supplied markup
Okay, you are definitely allowed to yawn: YAGP.
But this one’s different as it doesn’t doesn’t even render images: wet_for_each_image is a kind of master plugin whose only competence is to select images eligible for display, and then it delegates subsequent tasks to a worker markup whose duty is doing all of the hard work.

It surely is, I was scratching my head until I checked out your sample page. This is nice and clean and extensible. Thanks Robert!

As a clarification to Logoleptic’s comment added over there: wet_for_each_image and wet_thumbfilter are not competing in the same application area but are rather complementary. wet_thumbfilter iterates through selected articles, while wet_for_each_image runs over the images collection.

Have you thought of the having category attribute default to the current category if in a category page? That would make it perfect for category based galleries. Could always use asy_wondertag, already for that though.
In fact I think this combined with upm_image meet most of the desired more powerful Image tag requests

I would second this request. This would eliminate then need for gallery plug-ins and any .js flavor gallery script you want could be used (and changed or updated) easily.

Not thought of it yet, but it makes sense… Will fire up the trusty Eclipse. Stay tuned.

I am very excited to try and integrate this into livesearch results…
Can you image having this pull up images whose category is a search term as well as articles? Ahh if only images were keyworded also… and links. BOOOOOO.
Yay for the plugin though…

I’ve added a form attribute, too. This would allow “computed/dynamic” worker markup by getting the form name from a custom field or even elsewhere – one sick mind could imagine lots of possibilites with that.

You’re right. Thanks! Now I can do what I was hoping to do in a much simpler way.

Wet,
I’m glad so many folks are getting good use out of this one :)
Maybe we can all come together and post our examples? That way we could spur one another on to greater heights.
Thanks as usual man. You truly are a computer.

Really nice plugin! One question – on your site, you have a lightbox gallery example. I used the same code for the form and it works fine, only issue is there are two br tags after each image, and I can’t see how to get the images to line up side by side, they go down from top to bottom!
