adi_matrix – Multi-article update tabs

douglgm · 2012-11-21 00:00:44

Any chance of being able to select articles based on the value of a custom field?

One day … it’s been requested before & is on my “to do” list.

Thanks Adi. Just hope your “to do” list isn’t as long as mine!

Article image is certainly feasible – I’ll look into it. Not sure about thumbnail though. I can envisage the matrix tab layout going completely pear-shaped.

Hi Adi.
Recently, I discovered this plugin and I am astonished how handy it is.
I have the same question/request/wish that Zanza expressed.
Have you thought to add the option to show thumb image for each article? It would be very useful to find articles such “clothes” or some similar.
Best regards

Pd: let me know if you need a volutary for a Spanish translation

Glad you find it useful.

Yes, I can see the benefits of such a thing. In a beta version, I’ve been experimenting with providing links to image edit tabs. Not entirely satisfied with the results – things get a bit awkward when there’s more than one image. Displaying a thumbnail is not too much of a leap of imagination but suffers from the same issues.

Got the new translations, thanks. Uploaded & ready for action.

————————————————————————————————————————————————-

It’s probably about time I made the new beta version generally available. There are a few enhancements:

publish & delete articles (for mrdale)
extra article data options: title, section
show sections
added section & author to article title tooltip
matrix under Content or Home tab
improved validation error messages
custom WHERE clause conditions

I anyone would like to test it for me, please give me a shout.

Hi Adi. Thanks for the fast reply.

When you say “…things get a bit awkward when there’s more than one image…”. What do you mean? Do you refer just a thumb image per article? (I do) or is a matter about size of image in each register that break the look and feel? (being so, you could adjust the image size through CSS) or is a matter related to the queries to DB that putting slow the output?

Count with me. I’d like to try these new functions of your great plugin.
Best regards

Adjusting image sizes is not a problem, mucking up the symmetry of the matrix grid is what I’m concerned about – it needs to be done in a way that doesn’t interfere with the ease of finding data visually. Something, perhaps, that I need to experiment with.

I’ll send you an email with the beta stuff.

I’m running into issues again with a lot of articles with a lot of custom fields. On one install it will work with 100 articles but not 200. When submitting a matrix with 180 or so, it gives up and dumps back to the articles screen

I’ve turned off php’s suhosin module
I’ve set post_max_size=0 (no limit on post size) in php.ini

Problem still persists. Am I missing something in my TXP install?

Any ideas gomedia, other braniacs?

Bump max_input_vars in php.ini

mrdale · 2014-01-30 16:36:34

Yes sorry… should have posted as soon as I resolved this… what Jacques it saying is that he’s the freakin genius who helped sleuth this one out. Thanks, mrZa

Hi Adi. Have you been able to advance something in the development of this plugin? Do you remember I asked you the possibility to add to the matrices the thumb image? I am sure, it would be very handy.
I look forward any news.
Thanks

Unfortunately not, sorry … life & clients have taken over somewhat. I haven’t even managed to officially release 2.0. I’ve still got your list of excellent suggestions, as well as some from mrdale. One day, I’ll get organised.
