Re: upm_img_popper
I’m wondering is a working group like the one for permissions might be a good idea for image issues since this seems to be an area where people would like to see improvements.

Re: upm_img_popper
good idea hakjoon
Mary really pushed the envelope with the img popper – but some things would be best served from the core
a considered and achievable list of image-related feature requests would be a good outcome

I don’t get what you mean by, “It goes to the textpattern/index.php page instead of installing it.” What is the first “it” you mentioned? what are you expecting the plugin to do, but it isn’t?
well when i copy and paste the plugin from the .txt file and click on ‘install,’ the plugin doesn’t install. instead, i am redirected to my root web site/textpattern/index.php.
Any other ideas? Yes I am using the code from upmplugins.

Re: upm_img_popper
Can you install any other plugins? Almost seems like something is up with your installation.

Re: upm_img_popper
I created a textbook feature request area for image handling related thoughts. I thought it might be good to start consolidating a lot of the info scattered around the forum.
If anyone needs logins drop me a message.

Re: upm_img_popper
Might be the plugin’s size (it really is a monster now).
You can try loading the plugin by an alternate method. You’d grab a copy of the plugin as a PHP file and place it within a plugins folder, as if the plugin was being developed. Someone ‘round here can explain to you how to do that if that’s confusing.
The only drawback with that is you lose the ability to activate/deactivate it the plugin from the admin panel; you’d need to remove the plugin from that folder to keep it from loading. Textpattern’s plugin system is not particularly friendly to anything but small plugins, which makes the future ‘elements’ feature a nice step forward.

Re: upm_img_popper
Get the zip for the uncompiled plugins After you extract them you will need to upload upm_img_popper.php into you plugin_cache_dir. You can set that by going to Admin -> Advanced Preferences. It’s the last option under admin. Basically set that to a directory on your site and upload the uncompiled plugin there.
