Using the new image tags in Txp 4.3.0
I know it’s still at release candidate stage, but I wanted to put 4.3.0’s new image tags through their paces. I’m impressed, and quite expect to dismantle soo_image into one or two small & specialized plugins. Because the new core tags do pretty much everything I need.
Herewith, a demo with code and examples. Pure Txp, no plugins.

Re: Using the new image tags in Txp 4.3.0
I wanted to use soo_image in the past but I waited for this reason: I’m going to wait for the “lite editions” for specialized functions, using the core ones for basic image handling.
Thanks for the demos: very useful

Very nice indeed.
Excellent that this is now possible with just the core.

Re: Using the new image tags in Txp 4.3.0
Question: I note the Photoblog example above assume one image per article. soo_image allows several. Is that possible in TXP 4.3.0, or is that still the domain for a plugin?

Re: Using the new image tags in Txp 4.3.0
Yes, image_list understands a comma-separated list in the article-image field. See the demo’s ‘et cetera’ page.

Officially, the article image field is to hold one ID only. But the <txp:image_list /> tag — without any other selection attributes — will treat the article image field as a comma separated list of IDs if it’s set as such.
Edit: too late :-)

Re: Using the new image tags in Txp 4.3.0
That’s awesome, Jeff. Thanks! (Silly of me not to read et cetera before posting.)
Stef, is that a behavior I can count on for the future? Associating multiple images with an article in this way is very useful. I only ask since you said “officially” the pairing of articles to images is 1:1.
