Plugin Image

Introduced in version 3.0 as Experimental. Deprecated in version 5.0

 Warning!
Starting with version 4.0, Plugin Image's features are incorporated into PluginImg. With version 5.0, Plugin Image will no longer be available. Upgrade scripts for 5.0 will automatically convert existing uses of Plugin Image to Plugin Img.



This Wiki Plugin displays an image or configured image element or a series of them. Images can be identified by URL address, file gallery ID number or image gallery ID number. An image element or block consists of the image itself, space around the image, the title of the image (if specified) and an icon for enlarging the image, all surrounded by a border (unless the border is turned off).

Here's a quick example of an image element:

 Plugin Image
The "id" parameter is not allowed unless "file_galleries_redirect_from_image_gallery" preference is enabled.
and here's the code...
Copy to clipboard
{IMAGE(src=>img/icons/book_open.png, desc=><strong>Tool Tip Icon</strong>, align=>left, title=>Tool Tip Icon, block=>both)}{IMAGE}


Here's an example displaying the plain image:

 Plugin Image
The "id" parameter is not allowed unless "file_galleries_redirect_from_image_gallery" preference is enabled.
and here's the code...
Copy to clipboard
{IMAGE(src=>img/icons/book_open.png, align=>center, descoptions=>off, border=>off, width=>16, block=>both)}{IMAGE}

Here are the parameters for this plugin:

Examples

Using FileId and Multiple Images


This code,

Example using fileId and multiple images
Copy to clipboard
{IMAGE(fileId=>10,11,12, width=>100, height=>100, align=>left, title=>Site Icon, border=>margin-left:20px )}{IMAGE}


Would produce on this site:

 Plugin Image
The "id" parameter is not allowed unless "file_galleries_redirect_from_image_gallery" preference is enabled.

Using Relative Path, Link, Formatted Description and Image

This code,

Example with Relative Path and formatting
Copy to clipboard
{IMAGE(src=>img/tiki/tikilogo.png, align=>right, link=>HomePage, desc=>Home Page, descoptions=>text-align:right; font-size:0.9em, style=>text-align:left; font-weight:bold; color:teal, block=>bottom, title=>HomePage)}{IMAGE}
arrow-right.png
 Would produce on this site:

 Plugin Image
The "id" parameter is not allowed unless "file_galleries_redirect_from_image_gallery" preference is enabled.


 Comment
Note how the different parameter settings affect alignment: the align setting causes the entire block to align right, style causes the image to align left within the border, and descoptions causes the description to align right within the border. Also, without the block parameter set to bottom, this note would wrap around the left side of the image block instead of starting underneath it.
