bos_image_display and bos_image_category for simple image gallery

Zanza · 2006-02-27 18:09:43

No, in help text there isn’t that option: only in my development version, that I will release as soon as possible.

Sortdir is not implemented yet, but I was thinking about it. Nice you named it: I’ll try to implement it for the next release.

Thank you and bye!

Hello Zanza, I’m using <code><txp:bos_image_display cat=“flowers” /></code> in the default template, with a bunch of image in image category flowers, but nothing is showing.

Hello Lee.

As for the original txp:image_display tag, nothing is shown by default in a page template: this tag is used to display the image you click on the list from txp:image_index (in my case, txp:bos_image_index), that you should use in the same page.

This is no good. Just for this reason I added the default attribute to the bos_image_display tag. You may use it to define:

a id number of an image you want to display as first image (default=“nn”); or better:
default=“first”, to display the first image in cat=“flowers” accordingly to the sort criteria used.

So try to add the default attribute, the bos_image_index tag and see if it’sworking as expected! :)

Thank you for checking, bye!

I thought that having the default=“first” set by… default in the bos_image_display tag may help! After all I can’t imagine a situation when I don’t want the default turned on.

I updated the plugin so now it should work out of the box with the first image of the category automatically displayed. You can always change the default to a specific image id if needed.

Many thanks for the help, got it working now.

Zanza · 2006-03-01 12:44:56

Nice to hear it works. :)

I added a feature that may be useful: default=“random” option. Now the bos_image_display tag can be used as a standalone tag to display random images from a defined category everywhere in page template. Updated version number to 3.1. See first post.

Hi everybody!

Maybe I found a tiny ~~bug~~ “unwanted feature” in this great plugin ;)

This is the behaviour of bos_image_display wrap according to help
<blockquote>wrap<br /> A wraptag for the whole image+title+caption block.</blockquote>

So I tried to use a div in order to have a div around the img and the caption. But this was the output:
<code><div class=“img”><img src=“3.jpg” style=“height:661px;width:445px” alt=”“ /></div><p>Caption</p></code>

To my mind, either the help or the code is incorrect. Do you agree?

Regards,
Helge

It’s true, my mistake.

I needed a wrap around the img to style it, so this is the way I made it work. The help is incorrect.

Now the problem is: should I simply correct the help or should I change the behavior (eventually adding a wrapper only for the image)?

Take in account that by default the image is always showed. So, there is no-need to have a wrapper as attribute for the whole block: in the page template you should simply use a div around the bos_image_display tag.

So I’m thinking to just correct the help.

I should add a wrapper/container attribute only when I add a way to not have the image displayed (i.e., also adding a keyword=“noshow”, that I don’t think useful).

If you have suggestions, you’re welcome.

Thank for the debug! :)

I made some fix now that I had the time. V.3.2 is on.

I just have to say that this is really the best image plugin for textpattern I have found. I have tried everything, from Max Ziebell’s plugin (which was made before there were plugins!) all through album_pattern and the very nice rss_image_pop. This is just what I have been looking for. Thanks.

Zanza · 2006-03-11 23:46:09

Wow… I think you’re really exaggerating, but thank you. :)
I’m happy this suits you.

I’m back from my week out of office, and will try to make a better example/documentation online asap.

Bye
