Feature/Plugin request: article image author
Pursuant to the question I asked in this thread, I would like to see a TXP tag or a plugin to output the image author. I am imagining something like a <txp:article_image_author /> tag that would work in an article form, and output the image author if the displayed article has an article image assigned to it.
Mary says this should be simple to do as a plugin, so I am hoping some kind and clever soul will prove this to be the case :)
Or if anyone can offer a hint of how to go about it, I’ll have a feeble go at it myself. But I do mean feeble—my programming “skills” are laughable.

What do you actually want? Something like msnbc.com where Jim whoever has his image up at the top of every article he wrote?

No, not at all. If there is an article image called via <txp:article_image /> I want to be able to put a “photo by author” under the photo. The “author” of the photo and the author of the article are often different people.

You could place the image author as the caption of the image and use <txp:upm_article_image> with a custom form to display the caption.
<txp:upm_article_image> is part of upm_img_popper

I’ve cobbled together a plugin, using duct tape plus scavenged bits of other people’s code. So far it seems to be doing what I want. Funny, given that I have scarcely the slightest idea what I’m doing…
