when editing images...

jodeci · 2008-01-19 09:02:42

I’m manually “importing” my photolog into TXP now, and while editing images, I notice that whenever I click on “save”, TXP will always take me back to the first page of the image tab.

For instance, when I first access the image tab, the URL is:
index.php?event=image

Then I choose any image and click edit:
index.php?event=image&step=image_edit&id=205&sort=id&dir=desc&page=1&search_method=&crit=

Create a thumbnail. I’m still on the edit screen, but the URL becomes:
index.php

Or forget the thumbnail part and just click save. TXP returns to the image tab, as:
index.php

At first this did not occur to me as a problem. But since I have 200+ images to work on, I soon move on to the next page:
index.php?event=image&step=list&page=2&sort=id&dir=desc

See where I’m going? Right, I’m supposed to be working on the second page of images now, but whenever I click save or create a thumbnail, TXP takes me back to the first page:
index.php

This might not be a bug, but considering the work flow, I would expect to return to:
index.php?event=image&step=list&page=2&sort=id&dir=desc

(yeah, I know there are smarter ways to manage images out there, but being a newbie and wanting to redo the work anyway, going manual didn’t sound like a bad idea then…)

That is why I when I batch edit, I always open the content in a new tab:)

Which I just discovered myself after I posted :)

Erm, are you sure that it doesn’t direct you there? Because it wouldn’t appear in the URL of your browser because the method switches from GET to POST.

Certain. Try working on any other page than the first. TXP always takes you back to the first page. The URLs were just for illustration sake.

I think it wasn’t until 4.0.4(?) that it directs to the page the image is on. So are you using an earlier version?

It wasn’t until recently that I installed TXP, but I just double checked and it’s 4.05 all right.

Ok, maybe I should be more precise here:) When editing an image and click save the page returns to the particular image edit screen but there is no ‘button’ which returns you to the particular page within the ‘list of images’.

I just checked: when I edit an image, clicking the save button takes me back to the page (image list) the image is on, so not to page 1. In 4.0.5 as well as in 4.0.4.

It might be a plugin which causes the behaviour of my install? Will need to investigate:)
