upm_img_popper

yeah i can install other plugins.

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.

quick question—where exactly would i stick this plugin? i just take the .txt file and resave it as a .php right? thanks again mary

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.

thanks. imma try that out. thanks for being so responsive to my q’s! I love txp!

more questions unfortunately:

okay, so i make a folder called pluginsss and put it into my textpattern directory (../textpattern/pluginsss/)
so in my admin > advanced preferences i put ‘/pluginsss’ as the value for the plugin directory.
i then uploaded the upm_img_popper.php into that directory. also put that directory as CHMOD 777

Is there anything else I need to do? Do I need to put the full path into the plugin directory field in the admin directory?

Thanks in advance

I think the path is filesystem path not the webserver path. At least that’s how I have always done it. I normally just take the path that’s in the file upload path setting and adjust it accordingly (normally just replacing files with textpattern/plugins or whatever your directory is)

Mary · 2006-02-17 01:23:35

That’s correct, it needs to be a full filesystem path, like the path for files.

darrenemo · 2006-02-17 01:23:48

so after i set this up, the plugin should just automatically appear in the plugins section? I think I’ve done everything right for this to work. What’s up?

Mary · 2006-02-17 01:37:20

It won’t appear, that’s the limitation of this method. You’ll know it’s working if you go to your write tab, and there’s a new link there on the left-hand side.

darrenemo · 2006-02-17 01:39:07

WOOO!! yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss thanks so much you guys :} thanks alot mary for your hard work and you too hak. everyone else who took time out to hook me up. thanks again!

Is it possible to automatically set a class for the thumbnail as is done with the main image.

Even if I can add it to the plug-in code itself, this would save a huge amount of time. Does anyone have any tips?

Currently when I insert an image into the main article the class “floatright” is added. What would be great is if I can add a different class for the excerpt thumbnail as well. This would save my clients from having to add the class themselves i.e.

[txp:upm_image type=“thumb” image_id=“8” class=“floatright2” /]blah blah blah

Thanks

You could always wrap your excerpt in a classed element and style the floatright class accordingly. That way you can use the same class.

Something like

<pre>
.floatright { float:right;
}

.excerpt .floatright { float:left;
}
</pre>

Thanks hakjoon.

I hate it when the solution is staring me in the face. As always the simplest solution is always the best.

Why hard code it when you can use CSS.

Thanks again.
