[howto] Using the new image tags in Txp 4.3.0

And to get back on topic :)

In the demo I neglected to make full use of image_list’s nifty automatic context checking. I used it for article context, but not image category context. I’ve updated the demo to do so; results in cleaner code for the gallery example.

I can’t get it to work with this line in the Javascript

document.getElementById('sooGalleryCaption').childNodes[0].nodeValue = showThis.title;

Are you saying the demo site isn’t working correctly for you, or that you’ve tried to test it on your own server and it doesn’t work?

FireFusion · 2010-09-29 14:55:02

My own server. Firebug says

document.getElementById("sooGalleryCaption").childNodes[0] is undefined

Yet the images do have titles.

Right, but did you add an element for the caption, as in the example?

<p id="sooGalleryCaption"><txp:image_info /></p>

It’s ok. Fixed it. The element was blank on the first image. Thanks :)

Hi Stef may be you can use article_image like this:
sort='FIELD(ID,<txp:custom_field name="article_image" />)'

Undocumented feature. I tested it and confirmed that this outputs the raw value of article_image.

Any progress on the txp:images offset problem?

Just encountered this problem… Maybe this bug fix should go in release?

What bug?

If you mean that you can’t specify an offset without setting a limit, we should probably fix <txp:linklist /> as well, which functions in exactly the same way (I modelled <txp:images /> on <txp:linklist />). Nobody’s complained about that and it’s been like that since the tag was first written! Either way we should take this discussion off Jeff’s thread.

Is there anything like txp:if_first_image and txp:if_last_image functionality in conjunction with txp:images?

I did try replicating the corresponding functions for article/category/section with $thisimage and assert_image(); but they did not function as I expected them to. I guess there’s a reason for that.

In the end I achieved what I wanted with a combination of jmd_count and txp:variable but it was a roundabout way of getting there.

No. The same holds for links and file downloads. Only articles have the notion of first and last at the moment.

$thisimage, $thislink and $thisfile don’t have entries for is_first and is_last so the only way to do it is via a plugin or some brief counting PHP. If jmd_count and txp:variable are the most efficient way of doing it then perhaps this should be a TXP tip?

Thanks, Stef, for shedding light on that.

Well I think this use case was a bit specific as most of the time you can simply place the closing statement after the closing </txp:images> tag.

In my particular case I wanted to wrap every set of three images in a div (e.g. insert close ul + div and open a new div + ul after each third image) but not in the final case (which also happens to be divisible by three). The solution was find the total number of images from the category, then compare the current incrementing image number against that (like using {counter} and {totalimages} with smd_if / smd_gallery in the not-so-old-days).

j_soo i tried your gallery example and i get this error:

Tag error:  <txp:image_list form="gallery_demo_1" break="" /> ->  Textpattern Warning: tag does not exist  on line 1183

Wonder what I’m doing, i am using the latest version of txp…
-thanks

<txp:image_list> was renamed to <txp:images> at the last minute.
