I've created an image upload field and am using the highslide module. It seems that if I remove an image the placeholder still shows in IE, (though not in firefox). I've made sure to say the image value is not required, but you still see it there anyway. Is it not being fully removed? Is this the module's fault or something else. Any idea on how to fix it? Example here: http://pr4property.com/content/rli-awards-2009

Also, I don't know too much about highslide but I'd like to access the other functions, like the ability to skip to the next image, and to expand the image full screen. Not to mention using highslide for text, etc... I tried just using the full js file, not the one made for the module, but that doesn't change anything with this module. I wonder if anyone had advice on how to start integrating more of the features on my own, not necessarily using a module?

On that same token I'd like clients to be able to upload inline highslide images into their blog posts. I will forever be a total newb, but before I run off to find a developer any advice would be appreciated.

Lastly, it is customary to offer a donation for the module development? Thanks.

Hi Jesse!

Thanks for the issue, you did indeed find a bug. I committed a fix for it and have also attached a patch file in case you need the fix right away.

As far as the other features of highslide, you can use theme_highslide() to override what's being output by the highslide module, and use drupal_add_js() to add some of the other javascript that controls the slideshow/gallery capabilities of highslide. Otherwise, I suggest you subscribe to this issue: #495546: Add Highslide Gallery functionality so that you'll be notified when this is added to the highslide module itself.

Thanks!

Well done and thanks you very much. I've been sweating over this! Lacking as I am in skills I had no luck patching. I followed a few different methods triple checking everything, but no go. (I'm running Windows 7 so that might be the cause). the patch command with GnuWin32 seemed to work but nothing changed. So I just moved to the 6.1 Dev version of the module and it instantly had the pages fixed.

I have another request for this module for the description field to have much more text space. I think it's limited to about 30 characters. I'm assuming I should normally post that as a separate issue?

Also q0rban I send an email to you via your web site and wondered if you go it. it would have been from kelly@creativearts.com a couple days ago.

Thanks again

Jesse, you can use a different field as the caption text. I would create a new text field for the caption and then go to admin/settings/highslide/formatters and edit the default formatter to use your field for the Caption contents.

As far as the email, we did get an email, Jared has been out of town this past week, so I imagine he or dwayne will be getting back with you beginning of this week.

And yes, please open new issues for any other feature requests or support requests.

Thanks!
