Re: adi_matrix – Multi-article update tabs
I’m just about ready to release a new version of adi_matrix but being of an (occasionally) cautious disposition, I’m looking for some volunteer guinea pigs to test the final beta.
From the draft release notes:
- 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
- article list paging
- requires TXP 4.5+
- tested on TXP 4.6
- fix: matrix privileges
- improved validation message (URL-only titles)
- article edit link styling
- and as Apple says “Includes general performance and stability improvements”, as well as code “sanity” improvements for my sake
As adi_matrix mucks around with articles en masse, please take precautions – i.e. backups.
Thanks in advance.

Re: adi_matrix – Multi-article update tabs
Hi Adi.
Today I’ve discovered the last version of your plugin. Unfortunately the notification email are not working normally. I have to say it’s much better than I thought.
The only thing I would include would be a thumbimage in order to have a quick look about the article we want to modify.
Once again, thanks a lot for this and your other plugins.
Regards

There’s something funny going on today as well – I got 17 email notifications in one blast.

Phew! BTW I’ve still got all your excellent suggestions from a while ago … at some stage I’ll spent some time on the matrix admin UI side of things.

Interesting idea. When you say “thumb image” what did you have in mind? Some sort of excerpt?
Once again, thanks a lot for this and your other plugins.
My pleasure.

Hi Adi
Take a look in this screen capture that I did about how the thumbimage would look like.

I guess it would be useful because the user would have an idea about the article, especially when articles share similar names. It’s just a suggestion :)
Unfortunatelly I don’t have programming skills, but anyway I want to know if I can help with something.
Best regards

Good idea but what happens if someone uses multiple images in the article_image field?

Yes, that’s why it’s been in the too-hard-basket for a while, but maybe some sort of popup/floaty/lightbox/tooltip thing might work.

UI-wise you could do it as an image carousel with left/right buttons to flick through, but if you want to see the image(s) change when you change the image id, then you’ll need to ajax-fetch the images when the input box changes…
Or you hook it up to bot_image_upload which opens a modified image panel in a lightbox.

Re: adi_matrix – Multi-article update tabs

Yes. It’s true. I hadn’t thought. That’s why I never use more than one image for this field. (Does anybody use it for more than one image?)

I agree too. I use bot_image_upload in the most my projects. Maybe, adi_matrix could integrate it.
Anyway, thanks to Adi for this great plugin and to you guys for your replies.
Best regards

Yes!

I hope the great bot plug-ins will be still updated in the future.
