Re: Improving TXP Image Management
Looks great Stef, slightly off topic is there a roadmap for textpattern? I personally prefer the textpattern schedule of infrequent but large feature updates as opposed to wordpress’ constant minor updates but when evangelising your lovely CMS to others that is something they notice and count against it.

Probably the closest you’ll get at the moment :-)
As 4.3.0 draws closer I’ll be posting some stuff in the weblog about alterations to the admin side that will help plugin authors and themers transition more smoothly towards TXP 5. Keep your eyes peeled!

Re: Improving TXP Image Management
These enhancements sound great and a good move for TXP core.
Stef, you’re new plugin that makes use of these changes looks really useful. I’ve been using lam_dynamic_image on a site, but found that at times the image quality isn’t great and would have liked to have had slightly more control, which I’m guessing this new plugin would provide. If it then worked well with bot_image_upload then that would be really great!

It will depend on whether bot_image_upload uses the TXP functions to upload its image or redbot used custom code. If it calls image_data() to do the insertion then the multiple thumbnails will automatically be generated. If not, they won’t. Only redbot can answer that (short of someone else going through the code…)
lam_dynamic_image is great if, as you say, you don’t mind the browser scaling stuff as you view your site — and the inherent delay this may cause as it does the first image.
One thing the smd_thumbnail plugin doesn’t currently do is allow you to replace individual thumbnails with your own uploaded ones: they are all generated from the main image. This feature is planned once I can figure out a streamlined workflow for it.

Hi,
bot_image_upload (which is still in a beta state) uses an iframe which links to the ‘image’ tab (hiding some items through jquery).
So in theory there should be no problems.
