Description
I need to use the "Taxonomy Image: Node Images" block in different contexts: i.e. different themes, different imagecache presets. I can easily control the block placement on a per-theme basis. However, the same block configuration (same preset) will apply across all themes. Ideally, I would be able to define additional TI blocks as needed... (IIRC something like that is done in adsense module). Would that be a reasonable feature request? Are there other non-programming solutions? Thank you.
#1
I think it is probably a reasonable feature request, but, ATM, I have no idea how to do it.
#2
Have you, by any chance, tried the Multiblock module?
#3
sounds promising... could you please check the bottom of the Multiblock README, where it talks about "developing multiblock-enabled blocks"? I can't really make sense of it, but I guess it will be clear to you, and maybe it will be a simple addition to Taxonomy Image, maybe... Thank you NancyDru !
#4
I am working on that right now. I already have it working in 5.x and am porting it to 6.x.
#5
Committed to both branches. You will need the Multiblock module - and be aware that it needs some fixing (fixed, zipped 5.x version attached).
#6
Follow up: They now have created -dev releases for Multiblock which should have all the updates in them.
