Thanks for implementing the ability to change the sorting order.
It works very well. Everything works as far as I can see, but then
I have not tried it on a production site yet.

Good job.

I also get:

@lee
Hmm, seems the ID got lost, which is why the query failed. That’s impossible to assess from here… could you please send me some more details on what you did (how many images were being shifted around, has it happened before/again, is JavaScript fully enabled, which browser do you use, etc.) to my private address? It’s in the plugin. I’ll then try to help you sorting out the problem. Thanks! :)

Nighthawk: thank you for your hard work and remaining very active. And now the question that you probable dread to hear – when do you think your next version will be out? I know that you just finished 0.6 so I cant expect soon, but I can hope, no? ;-)

Once again – Thank you.

nighthawk · 2007-01-05 23:35:49

Sure, I’ll keep on it. :) I guess the next version is due end of January, which should then also include a feature freeze as we’re heading for the 1.0 version. And the moment I’m waiting for a fellow developer to hold to his promise to write a ZIP file import script – that’s gonna be the next big thing to which 0.7 is linked. Stay tuned. :)

Hi, thanks for this amazing plugin. It would be cool if this kind of functionality was incorporated into the core of TxP.

I have a question – I’ve installed the plugin and got the upload to work just fine, only thing is, I’d like to reformat the output of the plugin. I’d like to add ‘rel=“lightbox”’ to the image thumbnail in the gallery, so I can use lightbox with the images. Is there an easy way to edit the plugin to add this kind of functionality?

Perhaps for a future release, there could be a form that you edit (or something similar) that allows for custom templating within TxP.

- UPDATE –
here’s what I did to get it to work. ~~only one piece left to do, the title of the link needs to somehow get included in the output.~~

the link title references the image caption.

editing wow_gallery_lib plugin (lines 136-139):

    if($link) $mystring .= "<a rel=\"lightbox\" title=\"" . (($caption_cutoff) ? substr($image_data['caption'], 0, $caption_cutoff) : $image_data['caption']) . " \" href=\"http://" . $GLOBALS['siteurl'] . "/wow_image.php?id=$id\">";
    $mystring .= "<img src=\"http://" . $GLOBALS['siteurl'] . "/wow_image.php?id=$id" . $tn . "\" title=\"$alt_title\" alt=\"$alt_title\" width=\"" . $image_data['width'] . "\" height=\"" . $image_data['height'] . "\">\n";
    if($link) $mystring .= "</a>";
    if($captions) $mystring .= "";

I’m trying to do one more thing, which is change the output from tables and cells to a simple unordered list. I’m not really sure where to even start looking for this output, but i’ll be looking through the files, and I’ll post if I figure it out.

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

@carbon
I have received the request for unordered list output a couple of times already, so I’ll see if I can add it with the next version (the code change shouldn’t be too difficult). I guess I’ll also add a custom section for the image links so you can insert your own parameters, which would serve your lightbox needs. :)

I don’t know when I’ll get to release the next version, but I hope it’ll be sometime around early Feb.

~~Let me know if it’s alright to release my mod.~~

Thanks for permission, nighthawk.

I am really digging this plugin! I think its an awesome addition! However, I can’t get it to work! I am almost at a point of getting things straightetned out, I just can’t seem to get past this one problem:

I have installed the plugin and files accordingly and everything works great. However, when the user clicks on a thumbnail on the front end gallery the resulting pop up only shows a 404 page! I have checked and made sure that “wow_tpl.php” is in the right place and opperational, but even so, still no luck.

I have a feeling that the problem is a result of the fact that the gallery page is in a different section of the site. Which means that the gallery is sitting in “www.mysite.com/portfolio/” However, “wow_tpl.php” and “wow_image.php” are in the root directory, and therefore the original URL path to call “wow_tpl.php” is not valid. To test this theory I moved the gallery tag from the page in the /portfolio/ section to the home page of my site, and sure enough it worked great there, pop ups and all! However, the gallery needs to go in the /portfolio/ section. Therefore, I attempted to go in and alter the original Javascript that points to “wow_tpl.php” found in the plugin itself. This seemed to make no change what so ever.

So, I am not sure where to go from here. Any thoughts or ideas on what I should try next would be greatly appericated!

@RedBuddha
Good point! Hmm… sometimes I keep asking myself why I didn’t think about things like this before implementation. Anyway, I will rework the way the path to the helper apps is determined with the next release. Thanks for the feedback! :)

Fantastic plugin! Thank you.

How might I have the thumbs link to another thumbnail sized image (like a medium size), and then have that medium sized image link to the full sized image? Like this:

Thumbs list > link to Medium image in the same window with caption > link to popup full size image.

seems if I could just hardcode tn=2 on the link from the thumbs and the rel=lightbox in an anchor on the medium sized image in wow_lib somewhere, but I couldn’t find the right string.
