retrieve article image ID content (or similar)
Hi all,
How do I retrieve (by txp tags) the ID of an image included in an article, or the content of the article_image field in the write tab?
thank you for your help :-)

Not possible (afaik) by using just TXP built-in tags. Try upm_image, smd_gallery or soo_image.

thank you… i try the plugins you suggested me, even if i need just to the id number to append to a customized url.
This is going into a javascript variable to perform an effect (oh… my english :-(

You will probably find them useful for other crazy ideas that could come up ;)
Of course, you can probably retrieve the value on the article_image field by just using a few PHP lines, but I leave that for the experts.

grrr.
soo_image fits nearly perfect my purpose, but I need onMouseOver option, and as far I can see, there’s only the option to use onClick

Where do you need onmouseover to appear — in the img tag itself, or in the a tag of a linked thumbnail?
Code is topiary

Re: retrieve article image ID content (or similar)
ok, i explain the problem simply:
I’m trying to adapt a javascript which allow me to show a list of linked thumbnail. When i move the mouse over the thumbnail, the full size image shows in another part of the page.
Apart from the javascript, the tag’s combination i use is this one:
<a href="<txp:permlink />" title="<txp:title />" onMouseOver="showImage('<txp:article_image />')"><txp:article_image thumbnail="1" /></a>
The only part not working is the txp:article_image tag inside the showImage….
You can see it in action here: http://www.fabioborselli.com/violetab/negozio/ (sorry, really messy, layout testing there :-)
if I put a real image url instead of the tag, the script works….
I need to find a way to feed the generated image link to the showImage part… don’t know how… please help me .-)

Re: retrieve article image ID content (or similar)
Someone else asked for something similar today. See my reply in the soo_image support thread. I could add an onmouseover attribute to soo_image, but since what you want is a link to the article I think it will work better using your code but with a tag that produces the article-image URL, as in the link above. I’m pretty sure you could also do this with smd_gallery.

Re: retrieve article image ID content (or similar)
I used the soo_image_url tag.
Now the behaviour is the following.
If I pass the mouse over the thumbnail i see the div holder for the bigger image showing (top right corner)
But what i see is just a “broken link image”, such as when you have a wrong extension for the image.
If I retrieve the url by right clicking the place where the image is supposed to show, i can see the url is almost correct
the right url is infact http://www.fabioborselli.com/violetab/images/84.png
the url generated by the soo_image_url is http://www.fabioborselli.com/images/84.png
that’s strange… if I modify the images path in the preferences… i can’t see anymore either the thumbnail and the full size image…

Re: retrieve article image ID content (or similar)
Glad it works. soo_image is a big plugin to use if all you want from it is article image URL. All you really need is something like this:
function soo_article_image_url () {
global $thisarticle, $img_dir;
assert_article();
$img = $thisarticle['article_image'];
if ( ! $img )
return;
if ( is_numeric($img) ) {
$rs = safe_row('*', 'txp_image', 'id = ' . intval($img));
if ( $rs )
return hu . $img_dir . '/' . $img . $rs['ext'];
}
else
return $img;
}This isn’t one of my officially supported plugins, but here it is if you want to install it:

Re: retrieve article image ID content (or similar)
This plugin has saved me many a headache in 2 ways. The first is that I have a photoblog and wanted something that pulled EXIF data instead of me having to manually post this messy stuff. The other is the wonderful <txp:soo_image_url /> tag. Originally for each post I had to insert a link to pop the image out in Slimbox2 and this was tiresome. Now in my default form I’m able to perform such magic as the following and have it work flawlessly:
<a href="<txp:soo_image_url />" rel="lightbox" title="<txp:title />"><txp:soo_image thumbnail="1" /></a>Needless to say, thanks and awesome work on this plugin.

Hey, glad to hear someone else is using the EXIF features!
BTW, you will get exactly the same result to the above with this:
<txp:soo_image link_rel="lightbox" title='<txp:title />' />Code is topiary
