Re: [request] Needed: lightbox-style article-image picker

Since you mention title tags I was wondering whether the two columns Add and Insert could be merged into a single…
Yeah. That’s good idea. I’ve gotta split for the day…but I’ll mock it up like that too.
Although I think what Dale was originally asking for, and where we ended up are 2 different ideas.
I’m not sure how we reconcile the 2? Personally I’m unhappy with all the “image picker” options currently available, so I’m excited about this either way.

last two options are just perfecto, in fact I’m half way through a mockup myself, renobird.

All – I was thinking of this (crude prototype):
The article-image field is updated each time you select or deselect an image. The highlighting is done through CSS, so it’s customizable (a red border was just simpler to add).
But are we building another type of image selector? I thought this was article-image only.

That’s the way I spec’d it, but the other guys might want that option, and they have money in the pot.

In my experience users often want to place images anywhere in an article’s text flow where they see fit, so the article image won’t cut it.

Can I play? I have some of this written already for the image picker for hak_tinyMCE and I’ve wanted to build this forever.
Now if only wine would stop taking up my time.

Sounds great – it should be done soon. I’ll try to get it out tonight, then work on the insert-elsewhere version tomorrow.

Oh, and JM> minor point. It needs to play nice with hak_tinymce, sed_section_fields and upm_save_new.

It will – the write tab is only affected by the link to the thickbox. Did you want the “Insert image” link as the first link in the left column, above adv options, or elsewhere?

Sure that would be great. in fact you could even have “image selector” as a peer level with “advanced options” so that the select can be collapsed if you like.
