[plugin] jk_images: expanding existing image support for articles and galleries

Jeff_K · 2007-05-11 19:14:27

jk_images v.0.51 download
curious? see the demo

This plugin allows for the display and navigation of images. It can be used to display multiple (or single) images associated with an article or to display a gallery of images by category. It also provides access to image captions and other information such as image dimensions. It supports entirely clean urls and uses forms to work its magic. For extended documentation see the plugin’s help file.

The plugin has been in private development for a few months, but I thought it might be of use to others. If you find it works for you and your clients, consider making a donation to our publishing project Fillip — donations will encourage development of this plugin beyond my own needs. Comments and suggestions welcome.

On my Textpattern sites, the filenames of thumbnails get a “t” appended. jk_gallery contains this line which employs a “tn” postfix:

#171: <img src="'.$img_dir.$id.'tn'.$ext.'"'.

How does this work?

May I also suggest to change

    $image_id = $uri[3];

to

    $image_id = assert_int($uri[3]);

You’ll never know…

RE: reply 1: Thanks! stupid mistake! I fill fix it tonight.
RE: reply 2: yes! Thats not a bad idea…

Otherwise, does it seem worthwhile?

Hi Jeff, is there a demo to look at?

Jeff_K · 2007-05-12 19:59:33

Hey Lee.. I posted a demo above. It’s from my in progress website so excuse the dust…

Ooooooh, great! Thanks :¬)

Edit: What solution are you using for the login section on fillip.ca?

Ross, thanks! Hope its useful.

For the Fillip site I use a modified version of jk_access_by_ip. The version of the plugin online only allows access by ip (not by a form and password). I can post a version that uses a password as well if you are interested.

That would be fantastic!

You can have luck … and then fall sooo deep!

Jeff, today I talked to my friend who now wants to supplement his site. He described it’s needs exactly (the counter) like the demo site linked above, which I discovered only by chance, as jk_image isn’t represented on textpattern.org. When I saw the demo the corners of my mouth said hello to my ears! Cool!

But there is no possibility to activate clean URLs for his site …

Is there a chance at all for you to get it working with messy ones with the URL method your plugin uses? If so: does it just load in new images or can it also link to different pages in order to show image related information?

Jeff_K · 2007-06-15 06:48:12

Hey! Thanks for the note. Unfortunately I don’t see any easy way of doing this. Because the plugin is so tied to Textpattern’s $pretext variable, and breaks apart the URI by “/“s, it would be a complete rewrite to get it working with query strings instead… I’ll keep in it mind though, and let you know if any easier solution pops up.

uli · 2007-06-15 13:52:34

I’d be lucky hearing from you!
In order to see if I could use it on other sites with different needs: Your example page nav loads complete pages, right? So, different from lightbox solutions it could show more image related information than can be covered with just the caption text.

Hi Jeff, I’ve been trying to figure out how to implement your plugin without any success.

So far:
1. created article with article image field containing 7,8,9
2. in the article form I have <txp:jk_image_list form=“image list” display_by=“article”/>
3. I’m not sure what to put in the image_list form, I tried txp:image but nothing displayed

A quick rundown of what tag and form contents to use would be much appreciated if you have time, I’m trying to achieve the same as your demo http://jeffkhonsary.com/humble-beginnings

Thanks
Lee

EDIT: would it be possible just to see the form contents in your example?

Hey Lee,

Here is the code I am using on the demo:

in the article form
<txp:jk_image form=“caption” /> : for captions
<txp:jk_image /> : for image and image nav

in “image” form
<div id=“image”> <h3>Images:</h3> <txp:image /> <span id=“image-nav”><txp:jk_image_list form=“image_list” /></span>
</div>

in “image_list” form
<txp:jk_image_link><txp:jk_image_counter /></txp:jk_image_link>

in “caption” form
<p class=“caption”>About this image: <br/><txp:jk_image_details name=“caption” /></span></a></p>

Hopefully that helps? I plan on expanding the demo and adding info on using the plugin. I have just been so swamped lately.

Jeff_K · 2007-12-20 08:27:34

In case anyone is interested, I have posted a new version of the plugin, complete with a pair of new functions: jk_if_image (conditional display if image is shown via jk_image) and jk_if_image_details (conditional display if image has a value for a given column such as an alt tag or caption).

Download link above.

Thanks!
