Re: smd_slimbox
Bloke:
Quick question: To test v0.27 do I need to uninstall the previous version? Or is there another quicker method that I am missing to upgrade a plug in …
Thanks.

Nope, as with all plugins, just reinstall the latest version and activate. As long as you have that and v0.21d of smd_lib you’re all set.
In theory :-)

Re: smd_slimbox
Here’s a new version to take into account the request by Adam_V. Thanks for the idea: I’ve taken it and expanded it, as usual.
v0.28 features the imagecaption attribute which allows you to customise the caption displayed under the main slimbox image (not under the thumbnails… yet).
The docs explain how it all works, but here’s a quick example to give you the gist:
<txp:smd_slimbox category="photos" imagecaption="?caption by esteemed photographer ?author [ ?width x ?height ]" />
might display the following caption under the large full-size slimbox image:
Larks in a birdbath by esteemed photographer Stef [ 640 x 768 ]
The question mark can take pretty much any image database field, i.e. caption (the default), alt, name (the filename), id, ext (extension), author, category, date, width, height. Note that you must surround the ?fieldname with white space or it will not be recognised.
Have fun with it and let me know how you get on.

Re: smd_slimbox
you were looking for a slimbox equivalent for jquery and i think i may have found one.
the subsequent google code links reads “Moonbox aims to provide a lightweight Lightbox script built using jQuery. It is a clone of Slimbox (http://www.digitalia.be/software/slimbox), by Christophe Beyls.”
it may be of interest to check into! although i’ve already started heavily relying on mootools already for most things :(

Brilliant, thanks! I’ve just downloaded it and I’ll test it later. If it works [ looks like it should edit: it works fine by manually loading the latest jQuery + Dimensions + Moonbox JS + Moonbox CSS and telling smd_slimbox_inc to skip=“3”. The only thing missing I can see are the keyboard shortcuts but I’ve asked about that ] and the author doesn’t mind, I’ll roll it into the package and update smd_slimbox_inc so you all have the option of using mootools if, like you, you’re a heavy mootooler, or the jQuery version if you aren’t.
Long-term I’ll try and get it to interface with my planned implementation of smd_thumbs so it can be a bolt-on module. Watch this space.
Many thanks for the find, iblastoff. Much appreciated.

Re: smd_slimbox
Luckily there would be 2 versions of smd_slimbox, as one of the plugin that i’m using (if i remember correctly) is having conflicts with jQuery. Thank you for all the hardworks.

Re: smd_slimbox
Bloke!!! Halp! lol!
Can slimbox load a category depending on a custom field?
For a website i maintain, they hold monthly events. For the ‘schedule’ page to work, each event needs to be entered with a “2007-09-10” style date in a custom field. Can i use this same custom field to load an image category of the same name? ie: <txp:smd_slimbox category="<txp:custom_field_1 />"> or whatever the custom field tag is?
Hope it does :D

Re: smd_slimbox
Thanks ruud, i’ll keep that in mind!… That question was only a minor part of the overall plan, and it’s a scary looking plan LOL!..
I’ve got a way round it though, so all is good :D
