But found an issue with that also.

When I add categories, it wipes my settings out, it makes the dropdowns a default page and clears out the search results textarea.

I reproduce, by
remove xml file
goto itemmanager submit
recreates file
goto category, add a new one
go back to settings, blammo empty.

check xml fiel its empty but the category.

alienee2 Wrote:Hi Mike,

In reference to the next version, can you confirm that you'll be changing line 87 of IMclassDisplay, so that it reads:

Code:

return $SITEURL.'data/uploads/items/'.$this->tags[$tag]['value'];

i.e. uses the full path to the location of uploaded images?

However, I am unsure of the best way to handle this for the results and details pages.
Any suggestions?

that's great; will make data entry easier in the backend;

as far as the details page, perhaps the ability to specify a details page per category would solve that, since you could then make a different template for each category details page.

and for the results page, maybe the same sort of thing i.e. instead of entering the results page code in the settings, you would create a template and select that template for the specified results page, for that category.
then you would create a different results page for each category with their unique set of fields and layout...

i'm thinking that categories more in the sense of apps, and then use tags to sort items within a given category..
so i would be able to do a news category and a discography category, both with the items manager...

Perhaps use wrappers so entire sections or labels are omitted if the field is non existent in that category.

essentially

Code:

<?php if( existsincategory('fieldname') ) { ?>
<span>Label: <span> <?php echo $fieldvalue ?> </span></span>
<?php } ?>

But maybe a bit more elegant.

mikeh Wrote:@shawn_a Try again with the new version, im_list_categories() works fine for me.

• They have no label

Is this still going to be implemented from page 1.

I tried n00dles code but it fails on the filebrowser javascript when you click the image links.


And I am finding some issues with the user friendliness of image uploading, especially if you have several.

• They (image uploaders) are always at the top of the form
  
• The buttons says file upload
  
• They have no label
  
• The image never shows a filename or anything when you view the records later
  

And when you create a new item
or edit item. The header has no space before item it says EditItem Create a NewItem

I am actively developing with this plugin as we speak, so I will have a bit of feedback of all sorts.
