make an article-related gallery of images with numeric list?

feragnoli · 2008-03-11 14:48:13

using upm_image I’m trying to output a number of images per article.
how can I output a navigation/paging through the images of the kind < 1 / 10 > (where the umers are current and total number of images and the arrows links to prev/next)?
I thought there was an easy way to do this…
thank you

The plugin does’t support that kind of thing, so you’ll have to come up with some sort of JavaScript solution.

at the moment I could output a list of thumbnails to make them link to their full-size image.
how could I output a list of numbers to place in the link instead?
like: get the array of images in the article image field, count their amount, and then start numbering them from 1 up before outputting them?

Have you tried wrapping your brain around smd_gallery? It might do what you want and has ob1_pagination-style paging support built in.

yes, I was taking a look at it…
it is not completely clear to me if it is able to output the total number of ‘pages’ (images).
… is it?

Ummm, it’s in the unreleased version 0.3. Not that it’s much use to you right now! Tell you what, I’m about ready to release the plugin officially anyway so give me, what, about an hour to tidy up the help a bit. Then check the official plugin repository for a version that should sort you out.

EDIT: aww crap, found a small edge-case bug that I gotta squash first :-(

bos_image_display does output a numeric navigation for images, but I’m not sure whether it works with article images, no problem with image categories though.

Mmm, I have a feeling smd_gallery might become my sole gallery solution, exciting! :-)

I did this with some javascript magic in my “portfolio site”: http://www.monolinea.com/portfolio/icon-design/shiny-icons

With upm image i output all the images with a div, and then use the jquery cycle plugin with the pager option to automatically make the numbers and show/hide functionality

Hey, that’s pretty cool. Nice idea kemie.

feragnoli · 2008-03-12 07:46:46

mmm I did use the cycle plugin on other sites. but that way the page size blows up too much: all full size images have to be loaded… on a page with, say, five images that’s a disaster.

@ Bloke: hey, Bloke, thank you.

stef, thanks very much.

I think in the future your conditional plugin and the gallery one might become the only ones one really needs…
This stuff should come in the core installation of Txp.

anyway.

at the moment I am not sure of the configuration I’m using. I’m just using the standard article image field filled by a comma-separeted list of images.

on my article page the article tag is:

<txp:article form="default" pgonly="0" searchall="0" sort="Posted asc" /></div>

the default article form is:

<txp:smd_gallery category="?article_image"
  form="full_image" pageform="gallery_nav"
  limit="2" debug="2" />

<txp:body />

the full image form is:

<img class="animage" src="{url}" alt="{alt}" />

the gallery_nav form is:

 {navprev} {navthis} / {totalimages} {navnext}

yet, I get no output and this from debug:

++ INCLUDED/EXCLUDED IDs AND CATs ++<pre>
array (
)
</pre>
<pre>
array (
)
</pre>
<pre>
array (
  0 =&gt; '\'2\'',
)
</pre>
<pre>
array (
)
</pre>
++ WHERE CLAUSE ++<pre>
1=1 AND category IN ('2') ORDER BY category asc
</pre>
++ COMBOs ++<pre>
array (
)
</pre>

what do I do wrong?
