wet_article_thumb: Thumbnail tag for Textpattern

21. Oktober 2005

wet_article_thumb is a plugin for Textpattern, rendering a thumbnail associated with an article’s image and optionally linking this thumbnail to the related article’s page. It combines the results of Textpattern’s built-in tags <txp:permlink />, <txp:title />, and <txp:article_image /> into a single convenient template tag.

Usage

<txp:wet_article_thumb />

Display the thumbnail for the current article’s image

<txp:wet_article_thumb class="thumb" link="1" />

Display the thumbnail for the current article’s image.
Apply class thumb to the image tag.
Make the thumbnail a link to the article. This comes handy in article lists.

Marios prepared an extensive tutorial on building a gallery site with Textpattern sporting wet_article_thumb.

Alexandra dissects Christian Sandberg’s photo blog setup in one of her german Textpattern tutorial articles, also featuring this humble Textpattern plugin.

Last, but not least, wet_article_thumb is used on this site for all article lists.

greetings Robert – I use this plugin, thank you – but having a problem

when I have multiple article images (managed through upm_image_popper), I cannot get a thumb to display (on the home page, linking to article) – was hoping it would just pick the first in the queue

any workarounds?

No, I don’t think so. This plugin is meant to display just one thumbnail of an article image.

I will look into it and maybe include this feature in a future release.

Just wanted to thank you for this wonderful plugin. In my opinion, it should be included with Textpattern.

And thanks for mentioning my photoblog too. :)

Does this plugin work if on a subdomain linked to the main TP install on the root?
