Re: soo_image: simple yet powerful image tags
Ugly, but:
Replace the first foreach block in tag() (the one we’ve been working on) with this:
$hidden = array('element_name', 'is_empty', 'is_block', 'contents', 'can_contain');
foreach ( $this->properties() as $property => $value )
if ( ( $value or $property == 'alt' ) and !in_array($property, $hidden) )
$out .= " $property=\"$value\"";Code is topiary

Re: soo_image: simple yet powerful image tags
It worked like magic— on both the <soo_image id="33" /> tag and on the select tag that pulls in images from Article Image field through my image-display form. The only idiosyncrasy I found was that it no longer displays the images in the order entered in the Article Image field— I entered “27,29,30,33,31,32”, and soo_image_select is showing them “27,32,33,30,29,31”.
Thank you again!

Re: soo_image: simple yet powerful image tags
Glad we’re getting somewhere. As to the images not appearing in sequence, that is a bug in soo_image_select(). Find this block in that function:
if ( isset($ids) )
$query->where_in('id', $ids);and replace with
if ( isset($ids) ) {
$sort = '';
$query->where_in('id', $ids)->order_by_field($ids);
}Let me know if that preserves the sequence of article-images, and I’ll put it in the next release.

Re: soo_image: simple yet powerful image tags
Looks like it sorted them into numeric order.
Article Image order: 27,29,30,33,31,32
Display order: 27,29,30,31,32,33

Re: soo_image: simple yet powerful image tags
My mistake; I did not have the ORDER BY FIELD syntax correct. Try this instead:
if ( isset($ids) ) {
$sort = '';
$query->where_in('id', $ids)->order_by_field('id', $ids);
}Edit: Oops, need to edit soo_txp_obj also. Soo_Txp_Data class, order_by_field() function, replace with:
function order_by_field( $field, $list ) { // for preserving arbitrary order
if ( is_string($list) ) $list = do_list($list);
if ( count($list) > 1 )
$this->order_by[] = 'field(' . $field . ', ' .
implode(', ', quote_list(doSlash($list))) . ')';

Re: soo_image: simple yet powerful image tags
Thanks— $query->where_in('id', $ids)->order_by_field('id', $ids); produces the same sort order as $query->where_in('id', $ids)->order_by_field($ids);.

Re: soo_image: simple yet powerful image tags
Will all of these modifications make it into a future version, or should I exercise caution when upgrading?

All of them have made it in. Thanks again for your help working this out. Lovely site, by the way. May I point to the link above for an example of using soo_image with Slimbox?

Re: soo_image: simple yet powerful image tags
Just released version 1.0 alpha 3 (get it here). Now allows soo_image_select to be used either as a single tag or container tag. Helpful if you have an article with a one-off image format and you don’t want to create a new form for it.

Re: soo_image: simple yet powerful image tags
v 1.0 alpha 4 just posted:
- Added
soo_exifand related tags for reading and displaying EXIF metadata - Can now enter ranges of ids (e.g., “44-48, 12-9”) for article image or
soo_image_selectid - Fixed bug in aspect ratio using ratio syntax (e.g., “4:3” or “4/3”)
Documentation updated to reflect the changes. Information and examples of the new EXIF-related tags can be seen here and here.
