Display article and image ID number in admin

Nell · 2005-11-08 04:14:00

Is there a way to display the article ID number next to each article in the articles tab, and the image ID number in the images tab?
This would help my client to keep track of his articles and images, and to see the image ID number in an easy way so he can add images to his articles.

Thank you!

Oh yes ! I second that, especially in the image list. It is so helpful in the file list. In the image list I must roll-over the link to see the number in the url in the FF status bar…

this is not a macro:

In pre- upm_img-popper times, I simply added a column at the beginning of the image list with with the image ID. It requires a hack in txp_image.php as follows:

File: txp_image.php

1) Find <code>function image_list</code> and the following excerpt and add the line marked. This adds the column header ID at the beginning of the list:

<code> tr( hCell(gTxt(‘id’)) . // ID table header added hCell(ucfirst(gTxt(‘name’))) . hCell(gTxt(‘image_category’)) . hCell(gTxt(‘tags’)) . hCell(gTxt(‘author’)) . hCell(gTxt(‘thumbnail’)) . hCell() );
</code>

2) a short way further down there follows a second similar bit of code where the relevant information for each picture is read in. Add the line marked.

<code> echo tr( td($id). // ID table cell added td($elink).td($category).td($txtilelink.’ / ‘.$txplink.’ / ‘.$xhtmlink). td($author). td($thumbnail). td($dlink,10) );
</code>

I imagine the process is similar for articles.

Aside: In my code I have added my initials to the comment, and comment every mod I make. That way I can track down any hacks/mods made again if I need to transpose them for an update. The code above is from a 1.0 RC3 site but I suspect it has not changed (much) since.

Perhaps this (display of article/image IDs in the admin article/image lists) should be a feature request?

Yes, great plugin that makes my day in most common cases when editing articles, but when I’m working on the standard image list I’d need it there too ;-)

nardo : I will look into upm_img_popper. As Niconemo, I needed this feature for the image list, but I think this plugin will help my client to insert images.

jakob : Thank you, I think that’s exactly what I needed!

I agree with Marvin, this should be a regular feature in Textpattern. I think it would improve the usability of the admin area.

Thank you all! :)

It’s on my list, if no one else gets to it first. :)

(Edit: updated list url)
