Re: jmd_img_selector: Thickbox-style image selector
Looking good. Is it possible to have some kind of feedback after clicking Add Image?

Hey jm, do you have a PayPal link so I can send you the 50 I promised?

Wow! This is great!
I’m going to give it a shot on a site that has 700+ images in one category.
Just curious to see how it works with that many images.
Thanks again.

Re: jmd_img_selector: Thickbox-style image selector
Yikes, that was quick, works deliciously. paid.
The only minor requests thing I have to add are…
- It’d be nicer if the “add images” button were outside the flow of the icon grid when it scrolls, and
- It’d be nice to have the “image name” displayed somewhere (next to the category select) on hover.
Other than that. Bueno

Oh, one more request…
3. specify the path of thickbox dir in the config tab.
I run multiple sites’ javascripts out of a shared “global” directory that get’s a symbolic linked to each site’s root. So it’d be nice to specify /scripts/thickbox

Lee, Dale – thanks!

Will do. I’ve got one more class today, but I should be able to work on it tonight.

Re: jmd_img_selector: Thickbox-style image selector
OK, I have a few more requests, feel free to tell me to take a hike.
- when image(s) are already associated, can you plop ‘em in above or below the image selector
- is it possible to get some logic in there so that if it’s a wide image it scales 100% height and if it’s a tall image it scales 100% width? This would mean that images would always fill up the frame.
These would be cool, but like I said, feel free to tell me to go jump…
BTW I’m McLovin this plugn

jm,
Installed and working great!
With one exception in Firefox:
I have a category that has a few hundred images in it.
after about 60 images – it freaks out.
Seems to work fine in Safari.
Any ideas?

Jm,
Looks like privs are set to publisher only.
Can you add privs for other user levels?
Maybe a pref to give a comma separated list of users-levels?
Other than my Firefox freakout (above) – me likely so far.

- The problem I see with that you’d end up with another scrollbar area if you’ve got like 30 images selected. You do mean something kinda like this, right (not the drag-and-drop, but the “cart”)?
- I tried implementing this, but my brain ran away. In 0.2, I’m just scaling the images w/o respect to their proportions. I was thinking about doing a hoverbox-ish effect over the images, so you can see a larger and accurate thumb.

Haha :D

I’ve only tested with a max of 20 images, but I did notice Firefox was slower. At the moment, Firefox is leaking memory like a sieve with 0.2b. Once I get that patched, it should be ready for more testing.

Done :). Uli caught it a few days ago, but I figured I’d throw it into 0.2.
