Many users request to arrange images. I recommend to create 3 type of arrange images:
1. alphanumeric arrange, by image names,
2. arrange by creation date, and
3. user defined.
Choosing Arrange Type can be added to Plugin Parameters Dialog.
User defined can be saved in a form of XML file inside folder with images. This XML file can be created by a hand or by using Admiror Gallery Component - Image Manager. For the first hand, this can be done with input field for index number along side with each image inside rendered folder and button Arrange.
Arrange images [ IMPLEMENTED ]
Re: Arrange imagesI talked with Vasiljevski about this. This is our conclusions.
Saving list of images (index and image name) into single file would cause a lot of issues during actions with images, like adding new images, deleting, renaming etc. Better solution to have XML file for each image. This XML file could hold various useful data, among which it can be priority for image. Priority is desired position of the image and it can be any numerical value. This is much more flexible than standard list of images. More about XML file for each image can be found here: http://www.vasiljevski.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=45 |
