images per article

Gallex · 2014-11-06 10:23:02

hello,

is there a limit for images per article?
i have added ~100, but only 63 images is displayed :(

form i’m using:

<h1><txp:title /></h1>
<txp:body />
<txp:if_article_image><txp:images auto_detect="article" form="article_album" wraptag="ul" break="li" class="article-album" /></txp:if_article_image>

there is a limit of characters for the images field. You should alter that field with phpmyadmin or similar to allow more characters (backup your database first!!)

As milosevic says, the article image field is limited to 255 characters, like other custom fields at present. If you’re adding so many images per article, how about assigning them to a category and putting the category name in the article image field? Then alter your form to use that instead:

<txp:if_article_image>
   <txp:images category='<txp:custom_field name="article_image" />' form="article_album" wraptag="ul" break="li" class="article-album" />
</txp:if_article_image>

If you make the image category name the same as the article’s url title you could even skip using the article image field altogether and simply use category='<txp:article_url_title />'. But you would then lose the ability to easily test if the article was assigned images so you’d need to employ your own testing logic.

can i do the same with a custom field?

<txp:if_custom_field name="album">
   <txp:images category='<txp:custom_field name="album" />' form="article_album" wraptag="ul" break="li" class="article-album" />
</txp:if_custom_field>
