Re: Plugin/Hack: Albumpattern

I’m working on a new release, and I plan to add bulk uploading after that release. Hopefully this next release will come sometime in the next two weeks, there are still a few things I want to do to the albumpattern code and then I need to rewrite some of the optional hacks to TXP, and then I need to test it. This next update is pretty big, in a good way.

The idea of bulk uploading is that you use an FTP or webDAV client to upload a bunch of photo’s (and their display and thumbnail size, or have them automatically made) to a directory. Then you tell albumpattern where the directory is located and it goes and adds all the photo’s like you had uploaded through its interface. Then you can go through and change title’s and descriptions and stuff.

Re: Plugin/Hack: Albumpattern

I like that idea of bulk uploading. Looking forward to it

by the way- will the new releases require TXP 1.0 RC or can 0.19 be used?

Thanks for the update

Re: Plugin/Hack: Albumpattern

1.0RC1 vs RC2 vs 1.19

I’m going to test it on everything, but it will definitely work on RC1 and RC2. The optional hacks will be written for RC1 first, and then later 1.19.

Re: Plugin/Hack: Albumpattern

How do you use the photo thumbnail navigation on the same page as the photos while limiting the number of photos on the navigation?

Re: Plugin/Hack: Albumpattern

can anyone outline for me how to use an image from albumpattern in a textpattern article? i’d rather not upload the same image twice, once in albumpattern for an album image, and once again for a photo blog post…

i installed the rei_show_custom plugin, added < txp:albumpattern / > to my article form. then tried to call:

  • < txp:ap_image id=”< txp:rei_show_custom customid=“2” / >” / >

apparently, you can’t use a tag as a value of an attribute for another tag… how can i pass into < txp:ap_image id=”???” / > the ID data contained in a custom field?

Re: Plugin/Hack: Albumpattern

laigus,

have you adjusted the first line in the albumpattern_sql.php file? you should see a variable definition there at the top:

  • $path_to_txp_config

you’ll need to hardcode …/primecms inplace of the default …/textpattern dir.

Re: Plugin/Hack: Albumpattern

I’m having some problems with the album_image page. All other album pages are ok.

I’m sure I’ve setup everything correctly, however when I go to view an image it doesn’t use the album_image form I’ve created. The album_single form provides this link to a single image:

http://www.streetdaddy.com/index.php?id=34&a=2&p=34

which doesn’t use the album_image form… Just seems to use the default form in textpattern.

however if I manually add &s=Gallery to the url:

http://www.streetdaddy.com/index.php?id=34&a=2&p=34&s=Gallery

then it DOES use my album_image form.

Any thoughts?

What exactly isn’t working? The plugin portion, with forms and the stuff viewers of your website see, or the internal administration part?

Changing the name of the textpattern folder shouldn’t matter, assuming that your configuration files are setup properly to take that into account.

Re: Plugin/Hack: Albumpattern

Jase,

You could probably use the textile image tag
<code>!images/path!</code>
pointed to the image in your server’s directory structure.

I can’t think of an easier way to make it work.
