Improving TXP Image Management

jm · 2006-09-20 00:53:30

Next to the “search” input needs to be a dropdown for image categories (to filter). The site I just setup, an online magazine, is starting to have problems managing their monthly images (image cat=MonthYear) for the two months of images posted. An image-category dropdown would make finding images a lot easier.

Hi everyone,

Taking a look at the wiki pages today, I had a look at the proposed tag syntax, which looks really nice.
However, what I would like to know (Couldn’t definitely find out from there) is, if I can call an image just by
name (eg. derived from the filename) omitting the ID altogether.

In other words: will there be an extra field for the filename that ties to attributes in the img tags?
I’d definitely like to see this happen, implemented, somehow.

(Also, if the img admin interface get’s bypassed and upload happens behind txp’s back, would TXP still be able,
to bulk auto insert the img data into the database, which was the case with Andreas Banzes wonderful
img plugin.The Folder – Category association inside the roots import Folder makes much sense as well in my opinion)

regards, marios

Have you guys checked out Mephisto ?

They have a very compelling way of adding files to articles.

Hmm, this thread appears to have crystallised into comments and discussion about core txp coding. Nuttin’ wrong with that – in fact its great, if image handling will be improved in an out-of-the-box install – but may I refer to some previous posts of a few months ago, when plug ins were also on the agenda.

Thing is, if this subject is construed only in terms of core development, its the maximum work and maximum time – 6 months, 12, who knows? Whereas a plug in can do the job just as well and, further, a few already exist that could be developed just a little more, in line with the ideas at this thread.

Anyone working on a plug in?

My guess is that we are waiting on 4.04.
Hakjoon and Skubidu and Bastian and Mary and Wet are our most promising candidates for strong plugin development when its image related (as history has shown us). I hope I didn’t leave anyone out?

I bet you could drum up some support and speed by creating a plugin request and throwing some money behind it.

Yes, it’s an interesting take! Kind of a like a video game.

To be honest I have started using the hak_tinymce plugin as of version 0.6.1 and have found that it now pretty much eliminates the need for any other image plugin – if you haven’t already, you should check it out! I still prefer textile myself, but for clients having the WYSIWYG is a huge boon for ease-of-use…

Thanks for the tip, amigo. Will def give it a spin :)

A few months ago I posted a screenshot of my plugin nhn_image_organizer.
The project is still alive :) I just have to finish my final thesis at university.
But as a teaser for you, a new preview:

This is making me very curious!

But what are you doing here? Go on, finish your thesis! :-)

squaredeye · 2006-10-23 22:32:45

CURIOUS! HOW CAN YOU JUST BE CURIOUS! This is making me squeel like a pig! Cmon Thesis!
Nils, watch out or I may even PRAY for you!

I’m excited to see where this goes…

That looks fantastic, nils!

Ace of Dubs · 2006-10-24 09:33:49

Now that’s what I’m talkin about!

Go Nils, GO!

That looks great – can’t wait to see it!

This looks like a great tool to use as a compliment to the recent ransom of the flash batch uploader…

Please everyone go look at Wet’s great new plugin which combined with upm_image goes a long way in meeting some of the image tag requests.
