Textpattern Support Forum

I would love to have smd_lib and smd_gallery and the website seem to be gone or a broken link. Please let me know where i can get those plugin.

Ack, thank you Uli for stepping in while my site drifted away for a bit. ‘Twas a small administrative error thanks to the vagaries of the global banking cartel who seek to enslave us all with debt. I probably pissed them off and that’s how they pay me back.

Crikey.

I caught mine just in time, got hold of the support team and they set me up a new agreement on the spot. All sorted within about 8 minutes. I love my hoster’s customer service: they even help me out when it’s my fault!

I wonder if it’s better to try with this plugin, and if so how you would suggest I do it?

It’s definitely possible with this plugin. It has a feature thumblimit which will show you, say, one clickable thumb and then it’ll allow you to lightbox your way through the other “hidden” images on the page. Those images are selected by using the id, category, or author attributes.

I’m also trying to find a way to show a “featured” article which may be from one of 2 different categories – do you know if there is a way to do an “if”?

Yes you can. If the core tags can’t do what you want, there’s smd_if. Although if you’re doing featured articles, you might like to check out smd_featured instead.

could you write an example tag with thumblimit ?

Look at example 2 in the help. Though it uses a form, you could use smd_gallery as a container instead. The key to making thumblimit work is the {object} replacement tag (the output of which you can customise with objectform if you don’t like the default).
