Hi,

Thanks for this great module, I was sceptic to change to the current imagefield module I used to use with drupal 5, but as this module take very long (too much) time to come out, I jump to the filefield way.

I'm impressed by your work, which is pratically equal to imagefield features except for lightbox, thickbox, shadowbox integration.

congratulation for your excellent work !

Thanks for the well-meant words - apart from that, this issue is pretty much a duplicate of #278605: Compatibility with lightbox2, so I'm closing it again. I believe if filefield_image gets popular enough, lightbox2 integration & Co. will happen some way or another.

Hi,

Ok for that great reply.

Effectively, my post is a kind of duplicate of the #278605, but it extend the feature request to thickbox, shadowbox, and all "box" javascript popup image modules.

Instead of making code for each available module, maybe a good universal solution would be to add 2 options to imagefield :

  • A checkbox to create a link to the full size image or a link to the node. This option would perfectly integrate as a CCK field formatter, because in node teaser, you would set up a link to the node for your image, and in the full node view, you would probably link the image to the full sized one. By providing this feature as a cck field format, you could nativaly set that up differently for teaser view and full view.
  • The other option would be to provide a textfield that allow to set up the "rel" attributes, so the user would put "lightbox" for lightbox integration, "shadowbox" for shadowbox integration etc..
  • In a quick brainstorming with myself, a cool feature would be to provide token integration for that "rel" textfield. With token intrgration, you would create some galleries in your node listing to group them by user, created date etc....(like that : lightbox[[user]])
