Re: smd_imagery: for photographers, photobloggers and category geeks

Hi,

you can try abc_article_image, it seems to do what you need. It also allows for images upload directly on Write tab.

Are there alternatives that would make a simpler workflow?

I can’t think of a way to offer a class selection without over-complicating the interface. If you can think of one, then please let me know.

In the meantime, although not a direct replacement for classes, I am tinkering with the notion I had originally of multiple templates. In short, a select list above the Template textarea that allows you to define any number(ish – max size of the prefs data column notwithstanding) of templates, name them and switch between them. So you could make one template for each class as a one-off exercise and then just pick the one you want to get the code.

On the back of that, I am considering the notion of global templates. So, perhaps, Publisher accounts would have an additional checkbox when creating a template to make it local to their account or to publish it as “global” for all users. It should then be possible to combine this master list with each user’s own list (and in true Txp style, the user plates will override a master template if it has the same name). Local users would not be able to delete these global templates, but Publishers can.

I’ll have to see if that’s possible. But I’ll work on the former modification first and see how far we can go.

P.S. I would advise against smd_macros from 4.7+ and use short codes instead, which are native and way more flexible.

Could you provide more details, please? The standard plugin’s workflow is the following:

  1. under Article image tab click (or drag) on Upload zone to add some image(s). Their previews are shown in this zone, but the images are not yet uploaded.
  2. save the article.
  3. the images are uploaded and their ids added to Article image field. Their thumbnails are shown under the input box.

Is your experience different? Note that if you click on Preview article tab before saving the article, the newly added images preview will be emptied. This will be fixed in the upcoming custom fields branch.
