Re: upm_img_popper
Oh and I forgot to explain the other:
Originally, I had the plugin setup to have it’s own preferences, which would appear in it’s own tab under “extensions” rather than as a part of the built-in admin prefs. Shortly thereafter, Textpattern changed how it handled preferences and these plugin prefs suddenly became visible on the built-in admin prefs page, confusing a lot of people. The fix mentioned was to restore the prefs back to the way they were: “hidden”.

Re: upm_img_popper
Thanks Mary. Here is a link to look at, just a little down the page there are 4 pop-up images. The caption is set to on and there is a caption for each image, so perhaps you could tell me if I am missing something, because I don’t see it ;-)

Re: upm_img_popper
Hmm. You do have captions (I believe the field is called “description” or something like that) for your images, right? Not the alt text.

Re: upm_img_popper
Hi, yes I do. I just double checked. I have alt text field filled up, and the caption field too. The only thing I don’t have for these images is a category, but that should not be relevant I think.

That’s right, that shouldn’t make a difference. Time to be beating a plugin into submission again. :)

Re: upm_img_popper
Thanks Mary! May I make a suggestion – in the popup window for selecting images, one thing that is (or could be) confusing is that there are two means to insert a popup – one seems to be the popper and the other one is for upm_image. Is it necessary to have two?
The upm_image popup inserts the class too, so it seems to be a better option to use.
Thought I should mention that – hope its helpful. This plugin is the most important plugin for TXP, so thanks for your great work.

Re: upm_img_popper
Wha? One is for the built-in tags, the other is for upm_image.

Re: upm_img_popper
Sorry, didn´t find solution from this thread, maybe just overlooked it but is it possible to remove “Custom form” selection from the popup in the admin side? And how to?

Re: upm_img_popper
Remove the “custom” link, is that what you’re asking? No, there’s no way to do that.

Re: upm_img_popper
Wow, that was fast :)
I mean in the Image selector pop up window where there is beneath “assign class” field the option “custom form”. I´d like to just comment that out or hide it.

Re: upm_img_popper
Well, probably it might be good, if an administrator could choose whether to display or not certain options in the image seloctor window.

Re: upm_img_popper
I like this plugin very much! Just the reason for this request is to make the image insertion feature “less geeky” for the end users.
For me, I can manage with those options but to some they might just add confusion. Best option would offcourse be, if the chosable options could be managed via plugin admin but guess just commenting out certain features is not big thing either?
Another thing I ran into is that I don´t seem to be able to change the size of the popup window? I´m asking this because I use Philippe´s style for admin and with it the admin header does not fit into popup window resulting the window having horizontal scrollbar. So the easiest thing would be just increasing default widht for the window a bit.

Re: upm_img_popper
Okei, some progress…
If I remove
<code>n.graf(
‘<label for=“custom_form”>’.upm_img_popper_gTxt(‘custom_form’).’</label> <input type=“text” id=“custom_form” value=”’.$upm_img_popper_custom_form.’” class=“edit” /> (‘.upm_img_popper_gTxt(‘override’).’)’
,’ align=“center”’).
n.’</form>’;
</code>
it seems to lose the user selectable custom form field. Only thing is that in that case it still shows some code in the plugin window: <code>upm_img_popper&bm=true</code>. Taking that part out breaks the plugin.
To plugin to work, it also needs that I take out basically every custom form related that I found from the plugin code. But I´d say now that losing the custom field is possible, would of course appreciate the way to do it “right”.

Re: upm_img_popper
Mary,
per p’s request,
if this were something you’d be willing to do,
to add to the “upm_img_popper” extensions tab,
a list of ways of image insertion the “webmaster” wants to have “viewable”,
it could make the popper much more “usable”.
Is that something you would like for we the community to place into the plugin: request forum?
I know I would be up to contributing to this functionality, considering the likelihood of major image reform happening in time for the next release is at best, up in the air.
Lemme know,
:)
