[request] Manual Image sorting

At the moment there is stm_article_order to manually sort articles.

Since there is nothing similar for images, is someone up to the challenge of creating “stm_image_order”? (I just checked with the developer of stm_article_order and apparently he doesn’t develop for textpattern anymore…)

Re: [request] Manual Image sorting

This type of functionality would be really useful. I’ve worked on several artists’ sites where this would really come in handy. I’m game to contribute testing time and/or ransom money!

Yeah … that would be really great. I make a lot of portfolio sites too and I know for certain that my clients would appreciate such a plug-in … :)

Re: [request] Manual Image sorting

jQuery UI let’s you make images draggable/droppable. Now we need someone who can make that into a plugin.

Anyone?

edit: looks like sortable is more what this needs to use

Re: [request] Manual Image sorting

I’m not volunteering, but if this sort of thing is going to be done, it should be done properly for all types of content; articles, images and files (sortable links: any use?). It’s the same jQuery code after all, just operating on a different table each time. I’d also love to see the eventual solution use its own positions table instead of having to add columns to the core tables, although that does make sorting from the existing tags more difficult because it requires a join.

Either way, hasn’t some of the groundwork been done for images?

Re: [request] Manual Image sorting

Bloke: Apparently, the plugin that I was looking for has already been coded. Thanks. However, I also think it might be a good idea to look into some of those things that you mentioned…
