[request] Image resequencing
Howdy,
I’ve been thinking of developing a little image re-sequencing plugin for TXP but I don’t have the necessary PHP skills (I’ve tried to much despair). At the moment the sequencing of images in a given image category is bound to the upload order (or controlled by ASC or DESC, RANDOM etc.). It would be really handy to have a little admin site plugin which would allow for the reshuffling of the image order for a given image category. The re-sequencing of images is already available in wow_gallery, but that gallery uses its own database and image setup and not the default TXP image management. This plugin could potentially be useful for all the many image gallery plugins out there. To reshuffle the images (swapping image ID’s around, the affected images would also have to be renamed – without causing the whole image order to collapse). Is this at all possible or would it be easier to setup a separate ID’s to control the sequencing without affecting the original image order? I hope this makes sense.
I would be more than happy to collaborate on this.
Would people find this useful?
best,
Christian

Where are you referring to, exactly? A tag?

Re: [request] Image resequencing
What I mean is that after you have uploaded say 12 images into a new image category there is no way to change the order of individual images. I don’t think a tag would do the job (one could of course indicate order like order=“4,6,3,7 etc”, but its not optimal I think). A separate tab in the extensions area with the ability to display one image category and its content at a time and then move the images around and save the new order. Hope it makes sense.
