[plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_category_image: Display image for category.

…I saw two duplicate copies…

A known problem with this particular forum software.

The title never matters, only the names.

I seem to recall, now, that this tag can act very peculiar. If I were you, I would just drop using it – my plugin won’t return anything if there’s no category info (while I try and fix this tag).

Ah, thanks Mary. I’ll try another way a fellow forumer had recommended. :)

Minor update available

Hey, I like the looks of this plugin, is there a way to use it to create a section-specific list of categories? For example, if I had set up a section to contain my image galleries and I used the categories in that section as individual image galleries. Is there any way to get this to work with an image category?

This isn’t an image gallery plugin. Read the plugin help for instructions on how to use it.

Yeah sorry, I mixed up the names of the plugins I was looking at. Sorry to bother you.

Is it possible for the “link” or “thumb” attribute to accept another value, that will make a link to the full-size version of the image, rather than the category section? That would be amazing.

Also did anything happen with category description ? Or did I misread that ?

Mary · 2009-04-21 20:53:53

What would be the use for that?

No. You might take a look here for various suggestions on category descriptions.

zbsachs · 2009-04-21 21:09:42

It would make the “thumb” selection useful for some purposes (otherwise using both the full-size image and the thumbnail seems to be impossible ?). Or maybe I am misunderstanding some basic functionality of the tag.

For example, a category page representing a single issue of a publication could list the relevant articles in that issue, using the category image to show a thumbnail of the cover that, when clicked, would show the full-size image. Perhaps this is already doable, but I can’t muster it.

(Thanks for the link ! I have a solution using a custom field relating to the category name and then drawn in using article_custom, i.e.

<txp:article_custom section="summaries" summary='<txp:category1 />'><txp:body /></txp:article_custom>

but that is rather inelegant from the user’s perspective, and I have rather a lot of custom fields already in play. Someone says they are using the caption field, which would work perfectly for my purpose but I can’t seem to figure out how to access that field [possibly because I don’t know how to structure the relevant SQL queries ?])

By the way I make extensive use of several of your plugins, they really expand the range of the platform !

The tag is basically intended for “prettiness” purposes – you could simply use the built-in category tags and CSS, but this plugin allows your non-technical users to more easily create and change the images used.

My guess is that they used JavaScript.

What you might use instead is a combination of upm_image and wet_for_each_image

Not sure if this is possible, or a dumb question… :)
Is ti possible to have a category 1 image list? or category 2 image list. When I do upm_category2_image, it obviously only gives me one, can I have a list of all articles assigned to 1 or 2?
Thanks

…can I have a list of all articles assigned to 1 or 2?

This plugin is for displaying an icon/image for a category, not listing articles by category. if you want to do that, you’d use a built-in tag like article or article_custom.

If you mean displaying all images assigned to a specific category, then you would use a built-in tag like images.
