Posted: Wed Apr 27, 2005 11:43 pm Post subject: NP_RandomImg
Hi, just added my NP_RandomImg plugin to the Wiki. With this plugin you can define a list of images including some attributes (title, where to link to, dimensions) in the blog settings area and show a random one on your pages. Actually I wrote this to show some thumbnails on my blog and link to these to the appropriate page of my gallery (this is no php solution yet, but created with an "offline" script). Further on I really do like titles and alt tags. 
This isn't a real database solution and the image sizes have to be given by hand (if you want to have width and height attributes), because I didn't want too much complexity... Cheers, Carsten |

cool! I was doing this by using NP_Random with a file with img tags.

Hi, I encountered the problem that when I enter Cyrillic script in the descriptive string this would disturb the blogname settings. A question: where would I specify that I do not want a link border around linked images? Greetings M. |

Sorry, but I don't understand right now. You use Cyrillic script for the image description and then what gets disturbed? (Actually I don't know how I'd test this...)
Well that is easy. I'd put a div around like that
and then in your css you define
So there's actually no need to change something in the plugin code to do any formatting you like. Just put a div around the Skinvar. Cheers, Carsten _________________ http://foto-cs.de/blog/ |

Hi there, thanks for the info about how to format that specific plugin best BTW - great work, apart from the ALT tag problem this plugin works a treat! I link to categories by the pictures, so that people clicking on them choose the category corresponding to the sample pic.
As to what happens, let me try to explain it: I would have liked to write the ALT-description in cyrillic letters, as I do currently e.g. with the pictures uploaded normally to the blog without any trouble. I go into the blog settings, where you'll find the blog name/title already written in Russian script. I then feed the cyrillic letters between the two slashes, it shows all right, but after I save the whole thing the formerly correctly written blog name/title is not anymore dislayed in cyrillic letters, not even the "äüüyyy" letters which cyrillic sites display when UTF is turned off, instead I get "#&0203" strings, which means strings of html letter codes. Can't describe it better. You can duplicate this easily: - install russian language, switch to russian and give the blog a cyrillic letter name - install your plugin, and try to give a picture a cyrillic ALT description I haven't any other special letter languages installed, but I'd hazard the guess that it could be similar with e.g. Chinese or Japanese or French. Greetings M. |

I'll test this with German umlauts. As I'm just using English right now, I didn't see this. As you describe this I suppose something like that may happen anytime you use non ASCII letters. AFAIK the support for UTF-8 is not complete yet in Nucleus in general. Maybe this is related. I think a not very nice workaround coud be to code the alt/title entries completely as HTML entities. 
Maybe someone with more experience in Nucleus core could comment on this? So far, Carsten _________________ http://foto-cs.de/blog/ |

Ok, it works with German umlauts. I suppose because they don't need UTF but are representable in ISO-8859.
I have one problem here, I don't know yet whether it is easy for me to enter cyrillic letters...

Unfortunately I can just say: works for me.
I had a look around in the forum and found this http://forum.nucleuscms.org/viewtopic.php?p=20091#20091 Further on the admin site lacks a character encoding definition in the XHTML code! (By that it doesn't even validate if the web server doesn't supply a correct HTTP Content-Type field.) This could be a problem depending on the browser you use? I'm a bit at a loss here... _________________ http://foto-cs.de/blog/ |
