...display a series of full-sized images with titles and captions?

mrdale · 2006-01-22 18:17:51

Seems mind-blowingly simple, but I want to produce a series of divs each containing:

a full-size image
an image title(name)
an image caption

The images would be selected by their image category.

I could do this very simply if the image tag behaved like the article tag.

Thanks in advance

Sorry to bump, does anyone know how to do this?

mrdale · 2006-01-24 04:13:02

Seriously, how hard could it be?

as far as I know, you’ll need upm_img_popper to achieve that…

I use zem_article_image for something similar.

As far as I can see upm_img_popper and zem(hak)_article_image can only make a list of article images, which would assume that you have associated the images to an article.

I want to avoid creating articles altogether and simply make a list of full-size images with associated information.

It’s gotta be possible… an image tag that works like an article tag would be perfect…

You’re right upm_image won’t take a list. I’ve been planning on moving upm_image into the direction you are describing, but haven’t had a chance to tackle it yet. Unfortunately I haven’t fully groked upm_img_popper yet.

Let me see how hard it would be to add category based parsing, since this is something I want also.

have you explored the txp tags for image index and image display – I never grokked those but perhaps they could do what you want (in combination with the plugins, to allow you to output captions?) … a long shot

Hackjoon> how about pulling those image tags out of upm_image_popper? Many people use bas_image_select for the image insert functionality. Just an idea.

Thanks nardo> From what I read in textbook, the image index and image display produce a thumbnail list with a full size image resulting from a click on the thumbnail.

Another thought: Is this function fundamental enough to make a feature request for inclusion in TXP’s core?

That’s actually my plan for the plugin. I want to split it into upm_image and upm_img_popper. The popper would still be able to insert the upm_image tags but you could use them without the popper.

Great! I’ll stay tuned

I vote “yes,” big time. It’s frustrating having the ability to upload and annotate images, but not having any built-in functionality to get that data back out again.
