I made it this way, because I don’t know where to put these files otherwise. As far as I know, there is no ‘official’ recommendation, where external resources of plugins like css- and javascript-files should be installed. If someone has an idea, please let me know.

Make a preference in the plugin to choose/change the path where to save those files. glz_custum_fields puts it in /plugins, abl_droploader puts it in /res another plugin puts it somewhere else and so you end up with a dozen different location where several files are stored.

I agree, the situation with different plugins that needs external files is a mess. It’s not maintenance friendly.

I have considered using a pref, but this will add one more thing to configure, and it does not really solve the problem. When all plugin authors do that, you will end up specifiying the same option again and again.

For a real solution, a global preference or (better) a convention is needed. Starting with Textpattern 4.5, there is a js-folder available. I will change the plugin-setup, so it uses this folder for the javascripts (if it exists).

But there is still no css-folder… (Why?)

Hi I will like to know if I can change the thumbnail size using URL parameters please?
Something like when I’m visiting the images tab from a specific link that will add a parameter to the URL for example: &thumbsize=200x100
then somehow it will overwrite the pref with the values from the parameter.

Hi Gil

The thumb-size can only be specified on the image-edit panel. The values in this form are passed to the image-module (txp_image.php) as post-parameters only. So i think the thumb-size cannot be overwritten using get-parameters.

You may consider using smd_thumbnail, which allows multiple thumbs with different sizes. This plugin should work together with abl_droploader. It’s not exactly what you want, but something similar.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Andreas, I was thinking it may have nothing to do with this plugin so I opened another topic and we made it work here , still in process.

Hi Andreas :)

I love this plugin: image downloads are very much simple for the final users (lot are newbies with computers!).

Thus, I have a problem with abl_droploader v0.20 on a multi-sites installation of TXP 4.5.5: no download process works even if the “droploader” grey screen is shown.

I’d put the res folder into /sites/first-site/admin/ so all the needed files for the plugin are loaded.
I think the problem comes with the sub domain where the TXP admin interface is located: admin.my-domain.com/

Any idea how to make it working?

Cheers,

It would be possible to add the function of automatic assignment alt-text by file name?

Couldn’t you do that in your TXP page template pretty easily? There are image tags that output the filename. Unless I’m misunderstanding.

Tried to install it but the /res folder isn’t created.
I’ve got this error at the bottom of the page when I try to activate the plugin:

“An error occourred. Please check the servers error-log.”

I’ve tried to install it in locale using XAAMP.

On some servers I must copy the res folder on the server myself. See the help of the plugin (files are in the zip on the author site).

Thank you, I’ve missed to check the source code files!
Now all it’s OK but the plugin doesn’t work for me: I can’t see the “transparent area” where I have to drop the files from my desktop.
I have other image-plugins installed: do you know about some conflictual plugins?

I use sometime jbx_multiple_image_upload Jonas Bach 0.5.5 (last release on github).
Don’t work with abl_droploader at the same time.
