New Image and Thumbnail Attributes
Kind of a mish mash of ideas. I’ve been working on my re-reboot, but have found a few things that would be convenient (less hacking).
1. Add class to txp:thumbnail. txp:image already has it, but txp:thumnail doesn’t. It’s easy enough to edit /textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php on about line 100, but it is kind of a hassle for upgrades.
2. Make poplink="0" create a normal link to the image:
<code>
<txp:thumbnail id=“87” poplink=“0” />
produces:
<a href=”/img/87.png” title=“view full size”><img alt=“A fire breathing tortoise” src=”/img/87t.png” /></a>
</code>
3. Perhaps it’s textile too, but I’d like to be able to link around the txp:thumnail and txp:image tags. This makes things more flexible if you relocate your images folder, so you won’t have to change all of your links. Here’s an example:
<code>
<txp:thumbnail id=“87” />:http://example.com
</code>
4. Finally, it would be convenient to have the option to store thumbnails in a separate directory. I like keeping things separate (I’m weird), so ideally images would be stored in /img/ and thumbnails in a subdirectory, /img/t/ for example.

Deldin,
You may take a look <a href=“http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=15032”>here</a> as we are all working toward new ideas.
We are working on trying make img tags opperate more like article tags.
It will be a write up, some examples, and perhaps a patch, but it only happens
when the community participates together :)
Thx.

Re: New Image and Thumbnail Attributes
Thanks—I’ve read through it initially (a few months ago), but it’s a massive thread! It might be easier to split the thread into a separate/embedded forum board though. Seems it’d be simpler.

Re: New Image and Thumbnail Attributes
deldin,
Its difficult to keep a forum thread clean, however, it doesn’t help to start new ones, and in the end, can clutter the issue. You may adjust your preferences to have more posts per page and then use the search function of your browser to look for keywords in long posts?
either way, a “repeat” post like this can clog things up. That’s why I suggested you read the thread I mentioned, because we are addressing these very issues.
See what I’m saying?
Thanks for your thoughts,
Matthew

I tried <txp:thumbnail id="4" poplink="0" /> again, but only the image is returned. 4.0.3, clean install (no modifications to taghandlers.php).

Re: New Image and Thumbnail Attributes
I misunderstood what you meant, don’t know where my head was.
What would be the purpose of doing that?

Re: New Image and Thumbnail Attributes
For me, poplink “0” seems like it should link the thumbnail to the image.
<txp:thumbnail id="4" poplink="0" />– link the thumbnail to its parent image/full image<txp:thumbnail id="4" poplink="1" />– popup<txp:thumbnail id="4" />– display the thumbnail only
