Re: smd_gallery: super-flexible gallery generator
This is working perfectly. Thanks again!
The only thing I can’t figure out is how to highlight the current image category in the list. Clearly we have access to the current category with $variable[‘chosen-cat’], so I thought that during the category_list loop I should be able to compare each value against it:
<txp:category_list break="" type="image" parent='<txp:variable name="theArtist" />' exclude='<txp:variable name="theArtist" />'>
<li<txp:php global $variable; if ($variable['chosen_cat'] == $GLOBALS['pretext']['c']) {echo "class='current'"}></txp:php>><a href="<txp:permlink />/<txp:category />"><txp:category title="1" /></a></li>
</txp:category_list>But that throws an error about not having a txp:article tag on the line or something. Does the $GLOBALS[‘pretext’][‘c’] not refer to the current value of txp:category when it’s in a category_list loop like this? Any thoughts?

No probs.

How about using TXP tags instead? Since the $variable simply sets a txp:variable of the given name, you should be able to do something like this:
<txp:category_list break="" type="image" parent='<txp:variable name="theArtist" />' exclude='<txp:variable name="theArtist" />'>
<li<txp:if_variable name="chosen_cat" value='<txp:category />'> class="current"</txp:if_variable>><a href="<txp:permlink />/<txp:category />"><txp:category title="1" /></a></li>

Re: smd_gallery: super-flexible gallery generator
Stef,
This follows your earlier reply here
In an article custom call we get these values
<txp:article_custom>
<txp:php>
global $article_info;
$article_info[upm_img_id(array())] = array(
'id' => article_id(array()),
'title' => title(array()),
'category' => category1(array()),
'category_t' => category1(array('title' => '1')),
'section' => section(array()),
);
</txp:php>
</txp:article_custom>
<txp:smd_gallery form="smd_call" />Then in the txp:smd_gallery form call:
<txp:php>
global $article_info;
$href = permlink(array('id' => $article_info[{id}]['id']));
echo '<a href="' . $article_info[{id}]['section'] . '/' . $article_info[{id}]['category'] . '/' . $article_info[{id}]['title'] . '">' . $article_info[{id}]['title'] . '</a>';
</txp:php>Using: ‘title’ => title(array(‘url_title’ => ‘1’)) in the article_custom call fires errors
Using: $article_info[{id}][‘url_title’] in the smd_gallery call simply outputs nothing
Or other combinations doesn’t work…
Thanks !

I didn’t realise when you wrote in the other thread you were doing this. You don’t need to access the variable directly then, because there’s a TXP tag <txp:article_url_title> to help out. But before you can use it in your form, you’ll need to add the info to the array:
<txp:article_custom>
<txp:php>
global $article_info
$article_info[upm_img_id(array())] = array(
'id' => article_id(array()),
'title' => title(array()),
'url_title' => article_url_title(array()),
'category' => category1(array()),
'category_t' => category1(array('title' => '1')),
'section' => section(array()),
);
</txp:php>
</txp:article_custom>You can then access $article_info[{id}]['url_title'].

Re: smd_gallery: super-flexible gallery generator
Hi hablablow,
If you have a few extra minutes, please, do you think you could explain what are you doing with that code? (I’ve read it and re-readit a few times, but haven’t grasped yet what is going on behind the curtains). I’m curious about what it does and how it works.
If there are no exta minutes, don’t worry then.
Thanks!

Re: smd_gallery: super-flexible gallery generator
Si Julian es un poco complicado pero bueno…
What I do is list article images within a defined section and then paginate them with the use of Stef’s plugin.
I filter my article list the way I want to with the use of article_custom then I pull the article image with the use of the upm_image plugin.
Stef’s plugin allows me to paginate my resulting list.
Easy.
Except that we need to build also an array based on article ID to store the article image order.
That’s why Stef suggested this:
<txp:article_custom>
<txp:php>
global $article_info;
$article_info[upm_img_id(array())] = array(
'id' => article_id(array()),
'title' => title(array()),
'category' => category1(array()),
'category_t' => category1(array('title' => '1')),
'section' => section(array()),
);
</txp:php>
</txp:article_custom><txp:smd_gallery form=“smd_call” />
Then in the txp:smd_gallery form call, for example:
<img src=”#” alt=”<txp:php> global $article_info; $href = permlink(array(‘id’ => $article_info[{id}][‘id’])); echo $article_info[{id}][‘title’];</txp:php>” />
So this two step process would output a list of paginated article images based upon the upm_image plugin.
Ya Julian… No se si te parece mas claro asi… Ojala ayudo un poco.
Chau !

Re: smd_gallery: super-flexible gallery generator
Thanks, Guillaume.
It helped, although I must confess I still don’t get it very well, but don’t worry about that.
I wonder if it couldn’t be done in just one round and by using just plain TXP & smd_ plugin tags, discarding upm_image.
Something like:
<txp:article_custom><!-- fetch the articles -->
<txp:smd_gallery id="?article_image"><!-- pull the article images field -->
<!-- ... do stuff here... -->
</txp:smd_gallery>
</txp:article_custom>Except that we need to build also an array based on article ID to store the article image order.
This is one thing I didn’t get. Do you want the images sorted in the order that articles were pulled? Which is the sorting criteria for articles and/or article images then?
I’m just thinging loud, don’t feel like you have to give an answer.
BTW: your Spanish is pretty good.

Probably, but I needed it to fit my special case…

The one you need: use all the power of article_custom to filter your lists the way you want to.
BTW: … Si gracias, y me encantan los Havanas blancos ;)
