Glad it helps.

i have to also say that quoting and coding on this forum is really hard to figure out. :(

It’s Textile so it takes a while to get your head round it. FYI, you need to put a blank line above any bc. and a blank line below any bq. for it to render correctly. Meh.

ok so i got my last issue with the links in the images ironed out, thanks. the next one is with the slimbox example. i’m not sure where i go to add the preferences that enable the previous and next buttons to show up. ideally i would also want to activate those on the keyboard. from the slimbox documentation i found an example of options, but not where to insert this. again, not entirely in the scope of smd_gallery, you just offer the tools, i know ;)

 {	overlayOpacity: 0.6,
	easing: "easeOutElastic",
	captionAnimationDuration: 1,
	counterText: "Image {x} sur {y}",
	closeKeys: [27, 70],
	nextKeys: [39, 83] }

From Christophe’s site:

There are some options that you can specify in the form of a javascript object inside the script (look for “put custom options here”)

Have a look in the slimbox2.js file and see if you can override the options there.

Hi Bloke,

Not sure if I’m doing something wrong, or if I don’t fully understand the new escape attribute.
I’m using the last version (0.51) of smd_gallery.

When using this caption:

Wyclef rockin' out a Pensa at the BET Inauguration Ball

I’m still getting the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /nfs/c01/h07/mnt/37744/domains/rudysmusic.com/html/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(570) : eval()'d code(244) : eval()'d code on line 3

If I remove the offending quote ('), the error disappears.
By reading the plugin help, I see that the default value for escape is set to escape the caption, the alt, and the title.
I’ve tried also by putting the attribute explicitly, but no luck.
I’m not sure if the plugin is meant to escape those straight single quotes

In the meanwhile, I’ve used a curly quote (’), and it works fine with that one.

Thanks in advance.

Dammit, I forgot to fix that stupid bug when I released the latest version. Sorry. I’ll try and remember to get it sorted in the next rev.

Bloke just a quick note I am using smd_gallery version 0.5 not sure if you fixed this bug in the new version or not but here it is: If you name a image category “my-category” and leave the title also as “my-category” when you call plugin in an article like so:

<txp:smd_gallery category=“my-category” form=“some-form” sort=“random” />

you get the results returned twice so you get 2 of each image. Think it is a querry issue, just letting you know. Not the big of a deal as most use a different title for their categories but some may not.

@cuda:

It happened to me too!

Check this post by me (it came from this post, also by me)

If you don’t want to read that much, just try resaving your category (in Content -> Category), and see if that makes the difference.
It was something mysterious for me…

Hi Bloke,

I’ve this code:

<txp:upm_textile>{caption} <!-- testing upm_textile: "a link":http://www.google.com --> </txp:upm_textile>

And inside caption, I’ve got:

Check "example":http://www.example.com, it's _italic_.

This is what I get:

the link inside the comment is textiled.
the link inside the caption isn’t textiled
the _italic_ is textiled.

I’ve also tried this, with no luck:

<txp:variable name="caption" value="{caption}" />
        <txp:upm_textile><txp:variable name="caption" /></txp:upm_textile>

Any idea of what could be going wrong? Changing the plugin order on “Admin -> Plugins” could make any difference?

Thanks in advance.

Bizarre! Why would it run only part of it through Textile? Oh, wait, hang on. Is it because smd_gallery is set to escape the caption by default? Thus it’s converting it into:

Check &quot;example&quot;:http://www.example.com, it's _italic_.

which Textile won’t be able to parse?

maniqui · 2009-03-19 20:08:18

Ops… I’ve to test but you are probably right… I’m ashamed.

So, if I set smd_gallery to escape caption to avoid playing with explosive material when using {caption} inside smd_if (that’s the reason which the attribute was created for, isn’t it? can’t remember, even when I was the one who asked for it), then I can’t use it unescaped for other magic tricks… like the textile trick above…

Mmmm… I’m trapped… the only possible escape (no pun intended) is… a yet-to-be-coded {caption_esc} magic tag?

If the plugin handled apostrophes correctly you could probably safely turn off escaping and use Textile as you intend. I really must fix that.

…a yet-to-be-coded {caption_esc} magic tag?

I considered that before I added the escape attribute, and rejected the idea because it added too many replacements. Besides, where does it end? {date_esc} in case you want to mis-use the date field?!

If you want to use both escaped and unescaped replacements, make up a combo called {caption_esc} from the {caption} and don’t include caption_esc in the list of things to escape. Escaping is done at the very end of the plugin, just prior to output, so combos can be freely made up from any existing unescaped info (I’ve not tested it, but it’s suppposed to work that way).

Stef — Amazing plugin. Have used it on numerous sites, but I’m trying to do something relatively simple and I can not seem to get the query correct. Essentially, I am trying to display the number of images within a specific image category. Here is what I have for the call inside an article form:

<txp:smd_gallery category='<txp:article_url_title />'  form="gallery.count" />

The image category name is deliberately matched to the the title of the article to marry the two together. Here is the form gallery.count:

{totalimages} pictures

The output kind of works. It counts the number of images inside the image category correctly, but then outputs the data the same number of times as the actual count. So if there are five images inside a category, it outputs:

5 pictures5 pictures5 pictures5 pictures5 pictures

I tried setting the attribute thumblimit to “1” but that did not do anything. Any thoughts? Thanks!
