adi_image_tab - Enhanced image tab

Summary

adi_image_tab is an enhancement to the standard Image Edit tab:

• displays image ID, dimensions, file size, author, timestamp
• previous/next links
• dropdown menus for selecting images to edit
• option to delete the image you’re looking at
• image thumbnail dimensions & filesize
• option to modify the image’s timestamp
• option to populate caption with alternate text
• changes tab behaviour so that the Save button returns the user to the current Image Edit tab rather than the Images List tab

See the help supplied with the plugin, or have a look online. You can download the latest version from here.

Usage

After installing & activating the plugin, select the image you wish to edit from the Images tab as normal.

Dropdown menus

Two dropdown menus are provided, to help speed up access to images:

• Recent images – contains a list of the recently updated images
• Images – is a link to the Images list tab plus a dropdown containing images surrounding the current image in the list

Textpack

There is a mechanism to install a Textpack in the adi_image_tab options page under the Plugins tab.

Corrections or additional language translations are most welcome and can be submitted here.

Currently the Textpack contains:

• Swedish (thanks Mats)
• German (thanks David & “Someone”)
• French (thanks Pat64)
• Polish (thanks BKawalec)

Requirements

Textpattern 4.3.0 or later.

Bug & Limitations

• the number of images in the dropdown menus is currently fixed at 10
• only images with thumbnails will be shown as images in dropdown menus, others will be listed with their alternate text or filenames
• incompatible with ebl_image_edit

Version history

• 0.2
  • TXP 4.5-ified
  • code tidy up
  • fix: styling only generated for event=image tabs (thanks uli)
  • enhancement: image delete button
  • enhancement: thumbnail info
  • changed: recent image list now stored as “user” pref
• 0.1.1
  • errors after image deleted (thanks Uli)
  • spurious timestamp error message when save image directly after upload
  • timestamp fields now visible after uploading image
• 0.1
  • initial release

Feedback

Comments are most welcome.

Hi Adi,

Very handy. The only thing I noticed when enabling this was that I lost all EBL Image Edit functionality.

Regards
Martin

Unfortunately, it looks like adi_image_tab & ebl_image_edit will be mutually exclusive – at the moment I can’t think of a way around it.

Re: adi_image_tab - Enhanced image tab

Like I guessed: great improvements for the image tab.

It’s just the clients. Clients who probably delete images (or articles with images?). Then they get errors like these:

Notice: Undefined variable: thumbnail in /is/htdocs/wp10557963_B5EFTVJK12/www/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(638) : eval()'d code on line 382

Notice: Undefined variable: alt in /is/htdocs/wp10557963_B5EFTVJK12/www/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(638) : eval()'d code on line 398

Is there something you can do about it, Adi?

Most definitely …

Re: adi_image_tab - Enhanced image tab

Thanks for the fix, Adi.
And another one for the adi_image_tab_menu_non_link class!

Re: adi_image_tab - Enhanced image tab

Thanks Adi, terrific plugin, even just for showing the Image ID on the edit page. Is there a plugin that will do the same for files?
