would find it nice to have

marios · 2007-09-15 18:53:48

I think, you can. Should definetely be in core.

Polished this idea up a little and added the capability to select for specific image numbers. Given a little testing I’ll submit a patch for crockery for it.

ras_if_article_image_v4.1.0

I think that a more generic tag would be better… Something like chh_if_data. I would push for something like <txp:if_empty>do this<txp:else />do that</txp:if_empty>

My proposed tag could be context sensitive and could eventually replace if_excerpt, if_comments etc. If there are other people who agree with this it would be good to hear what fields should the new tag target.

How would you handle nested situations where content of different types were being looked for within one set of tags. Perhaps a specific type attribute?

colak · 2007-09-17 07:04:56

Rick… You are right… replacing the tags I mentioned above might result in very confusing situations… yet again check the example below…

I’m by no means saying that i have thought it through, nor am I asking the developers to include it. I mentioned it here for discussion purposes

How I could see it working could be something like…

<txp:if_category name="news"><txp:if_empty>no news<txp:/else><txp:excerpt /></txp:if_empty></txp:if_category>

or

<txp:if_section name="news"><txp:if_empty><txp:category name="news"><txp:else />no news</txp:if_empty></txp:if_section>

As I said… here only to discuss:)

ras_if_article_image_v4.1.0 works fine.

rsilletti · 2007-09-17 14:08:51

colak – I’m just here casting about for ideas, its why I see the possible conflicts. Centralizing the handling of TXP’s differing types of content is an issue that has been discussed before, but not really from a tag approach. Definitely food for thought.

thanks Markus – After looking at the crockery branch it seems an if_article_image tag is already in core, the difference with ras_if_article_image is the choice of selecting by image number.

Hi Rick,

Just discovered this plugin. Is it possible to do something like this:

<txp:ras_if_article_image image_number="more than one image">
Selected content if true
<txp:else />
Selected content if false (optional)
</txp:ras_if_article_image>

What I’d like to do is check for the existence of more than one image in the article image field – the idea is that if there is more than one image, show a photo gallery, if only one image, then we don’t need the gallery.

Hi Jonathan,

upm_image supports if_article_image_list.

jstubbs · 2008-12-31 20:56:17

I did not know that! Let me check it out!

rsilletti · 2009-01-01 02:38:01

Hi Jonathan,

ras_if_article_image can be coded to use a comma delimited list for the image_number attribute. Your description of what you would like is a little cryptic. Are you looking for multiple images assigned to a single article, or do you want the conditional to compare each assigned article image to an attribute list? The later is easy to code if can use it.

Hi Rick, I haven’t tested ras_if_article_image yet, as Maniqui pointed me in the direction of upm_image’s if_article_image_list tag, which seems to do what I want. Let me explain:

On my personal site, I am using the article image field to store image id’s, and Galleria to display an image gallery of these images. However, I only use Galleria currently in the about and photos sections.

What I was looking to do is use Galleria in other sections of the site. To do this, my normal forms have to check for the existence of either one article image or many article images.

If there is only one image, display the image as-is, if more than one image then we need Galleria to display an image gallery.

Hope that explains it!
