to associate an image to a link
Hi.
That is: to associate an image to a link.
The idea is to have an image (from Content -> Images) associated to a link (in Content -> Links).
That will make easier to have a list of links represented by images (for example, for brands logos).
Currently, to achieve something similar, I have each link created twice: one with a text description, and the other with some textile/xhtml/upm_image code in the description. The one with the image belongs to a “logo” category, so I can output a list of linked logos using txp:linklist.
Thanks!

I’d like to show support for this idea…
I can imagine that many types of sites would find it useful to be able to output links as images as well as text.

it would be extremely useful. for that matter. associating an image with a file would be good too.

Re: to associate an image to a link
erm.. Instead of making two instances of the same link; you could put the id of the image in the description field; and put the text in the description of the image. Then you could have the following link-form, with the upm_image and asy_wondertag plugins :
<asy_wondertag>
<txp:upm_image image_id="<txp:link_description />">
<p><txp:link><img src="<txp:upm_img_thumb_url />" height="<txp:upm_img_thumb_height />" width="<txp:upm_img_thumb_width />"/></txp:link>
<br/><txp:link/></p>
<txp:upm_img_caption />
</txp:upm_image>
</asy_wondertag>Offline

Re: to associate an image to a link
What would be cool is some sort of upm_img_popup_everywhere plugin that would add a little icon under every non-title field, both in files and links, that opens an image browser and enables to add the image id to the field. Or a shortcut you can type when the cursor is in the field.
Edit : to be more specific, I would of course love to see an actual image field, but since I suspect how devs will respond (“not before crockery”) I’m trying to look at alternatives here.

Re: to associate an image to a link
You could always do this with javascript.
