custom fields tab order - controlling admin side page elements
When I press ‘tab’ from the custom fields under the Write tab, they all tab on to the Excerpt field. Since I fill out up to 8 fields every time I write an entry, it’s really annoying. I guess there’s no way to fix it now, without hacking in?
Is it possible to give some control over the Image tab’s contents? I have a lot of images, and my “thumbnails” are 500px wide (I guess Textpattern doesn’t really expect people to do this). I used hpw_admincss to put td img { display:none; } because it was just so annoying having them all load every time I went in there, and the paging thing is only at the bottom of the list. (I know they’re still loading now, but at least the page doesn’t constantly jump…) It would probably be useful to have that at the top too.
And of course I wish you could have multiple thumbnails. At least one more…
And I wish I could control the sort order. I would have it in ID descending instead of reverse descending.
And I wish when I deleted an image, the display returned to the same page, rather than the first page again.
And I wish you could select multiple to delete… tick boxes for various actions like the Articles tab has would probably be better.
ok, I think I’m done ;)
thanks,

You can probably fix that with an admin side plugin that adds a bit of javascript at the end of the write tab to add tabindex attributes to the custom fields after the page has been rendered.

Re: custom fields tab order - controlling admin side page elements
These are not for troubleshooting, but I’ll answer them anyway.

Yep. 500px is a wee bit big.
And I wish I could control the sort order. I would have it in ID descending instead of reverse descending.
You can. Click the table headings.
And I wish when I deleted an image, the display returned to the same page, rather than the first page again.
It does.
If you can’t do the above, you’re not using the most recent stable version of Textpattern.

I know this is not exactly troubleshooting, but I didn’t see a better topic. Maybe ‘How do I…’.
Mary, thanks for the tip about clicking the column headings to change the sort order. That must have been too subtle for me :)
As for deleting images, I have 15 pages, delete an image on the 14th page, page loads and I am back on the 1st page. I’m using 4.0.4 r1956 and Textpattern itself tells me this is the most updated version of this branch.
The admin-related plugins I have are rss_admin_db_manager 4.3, hpw_admincss 0.1, ied_hide_in_admin 0.1.6 (nothing changed on the Image page) and rss_admin_show_adv_opts 0.3. I’m not sure that any of them would affect the Image page’s post-deletion behaviour though.
thanks,
Brianna

Ah, it looks like deleting images (and presumably, files) doesn’t have that ability (remembering where you were). I’ll have to see if we can work it in.
