Re: upm_quicktags: Implement Alex King’s Quicktags
Thanks, Patrick.

“Just one question: would it be possible to improve the image handling? The way it’s doing it now, is not pretty handsome as far as i am concerned. Like when you insert an image, which is already in the database, i rather would like to pull the DB List and select an image.”
A nice idea, but I wouldn’t want to recreate what this nice plugin already does. :)

@Mary
this nice Plugin does not work for me :) right now. i do not know why but i have the vague remambrance that it interferes with another plugin or the url-design.
We had a discussion about txp´s image handling over on the german txp blog. You will probably not understand what was written, but you´ll find a screenshot telling what we like to achieve.
This is: a kind of thumbnail gallery next to the writing-field and a dropdown-field for selecting an image… as well as some more minor functions.
The reason for the discussion is, that once you got 30 or so images, it´s hard to find the image, to remember its name/id .. and so on.
Bastian, the author of the bas_img_selctor did reply to our discussion saying he has no time at all to work on his plugin but agrees with our approach.
Ahead of that all, it is not possible to upload more than one image and not possible to generate a thumbnail of a set size.
Last and least :) the way the image input is handeled with your neat plugin Quicktag is pretty “bulky”. One is asked for url, than size and so on. It would be great if Quicktag could handle image input easier.
I wonder if it is possible to extend Quicktag around a better img handling?
Well it´s pretty late here and my english curve drops to the basement :)
I´d love to sort this out.

Re: upm_quicktags: Implement Alex King’s Quicktags
Very nice plugins. Very neat, right to the point, but highly customisable. Along the line, at at least 5 or 6 points, I said to myself “argh they forget that, argh that won’t work” and each time it has (worked, I mean).
It take some work to adapt it to Textile (I really think you should release it for Textile by default), but it works very nice. (Well Textile doesn’t really need these king of buttons, but it reassure the newbies, and demonstrate how Textile is simple :p ).

I’ve got the fix for bas_img_selector. I posted it in that thread.
“pretty ‘bulky’. One is asked for url, than size and so on.”
That’s by design, not after-thought. This is a Textpattern implementation of Quicktags, and that’s how it works.
“it is not possible to upload more than one image and not possible to generate a thumbnail of a set size”
While its fine to want those things, I didn’t make this plugin to totally overhaul Textpattern’s image handling, so I’m afraid someone else will have to take up that job. It deserves a lot more attention and work than I am up to handling.

Patrick (“hakjoon”) has posted a Textile config file. Additionally, the default works with Textile enabled.

Sorry, sorry you did misunderstand me. My fault.
I was just wondering if Quicktag could not be extended to a better image input/handling. Right now Quicktag allows to insert images. But the way this is done could probably be “smoother”… easier in handling….
I did not want either you nor anybody else to care for programming :)
I just try to figure out the best way to implement an improved imagehandling.
Sorry for the misunderstanding i caused. I will adress the issue in the RC discussion section of this Forum.

Re: upm_quicktags: Implement Alex King’s Quicktags
I <b>quickly</b> whipped up a TXP set of themed buttons to replace the text only buttons, I was going to go with css for some fancy rollovers, but cannot find the time right now. If you want it you can get it
<a href=“http://zoebug.org/files/txptheme.zip”>HERE </a> As always make a backup of your existing files so that you can revert if you want to.
You will be replacing the
- img folder
- write.js
- pages.js
- forms.js
I was hoping to use the stylesheet for rollovers, but cannot seem to find the time right now. Maybe later.

Re: upm_quicktags: Implement Alex King’s Quicktags
I’m getting the quicklinks drop-down, but none of the buttons.
Any ideas? Does it for example conflict with any other plugins? (and I’m using bas_img_select).
RC3.

Re: upm_quicktags: Implement Alex King’s Quicktags
I have them working side by side without a hitch. Let me download from the new link and see what you’re getting.
@Mary, You’re welcome!
