I am thinking of writing a hack for the News module so you can upload a picture for each news item. The picture will be used on the main news item page and and thumbnail version of it can be displayed per headline. Admin will be able to select how pictures should be displayed e.g. top right, center, top right.

So has anyone done anything like this already before spend time on this - I suspect a lot of people would find it useful.

Comments?

Cheers,

Shiva

Thanks. I just had a look at your website:http://www.remixland.de

And it looks like you have similar functionality already. Did you hack it yourself?

its not hacked, standard news module


im adding the images manually
it would be perfect if u can write a hack for adding and resizing images automaticly, that would make much easier adding news

see shiva
i test your hack
but it seem there are a proplem of that
1 - when i try to edit the posts there are a big error, i have a page with only "Edit Article"
that's the error i have, in debug mod i have that error in storyform.inc.php you have edit it that is Quote:

Notice: Undefined variable: storyid in file /modules/news/include/storyform.inc.php line 110
Notice: Undefined variable: storyimage in file /modules/news/include/storyform.inc.php line 115
Notice: Undefined variable: storyimage in file /modules/news/include/storyform.inc.php line 122

i have 3 idea to your hack
1 - add new filed named "Photo Name" it will add with image as it name , this name will be shown at image select menu instead the image url name .
2 - module's blocks shown thumbnail verison

Following idea out of you thoughts, but it would be useful for all module's users

3 - try to add new filed named "Writen by ..." not "posted by" and that filed will be text box and one eles named "source from".

Try the new version of the hack:
http://www.evucan.com/free/News Module Picture Hack 0.1.zip

Once someone can confirm it works on their XOOPS I will incorporate new functionality.

Cheers!
