Topic: Featured Image?
Would it be possible to create a field (not using the available option, but by coding it) and having a browse images button to the side of it to choose an image to use as the featured image for each article?
Re: Featured Image?
Anyone? Would have thought this would be a fairly simple mod for some of the clever people on here!

In the version 1.5 there is a possibility to write the plug-in and also add your own field through Additional fields or use the field Avatar (it works also for the version 1.4.7).

I have added the field. How would I go about creating a plugin to add a button to browse images?

Re: Featured Image?
Right, i've managed to get it to work so that on my xfield for featured image there is a Choose Image button that opens the images up and inserts the code perfectly, but i've got an issue.
On the add news page, it shows up like this:
{/if}
Title
# More fields...Image {if $xfields.0=image} Choose Image
Despite the code being like this:
{if $xfields.0=image} [url=#]Choose Image[/url] </td> {/if}
Any ideas?

I did get it working, but it was a really hacky way of doing things.
I added an xfield for the featured image that I then put in to [img]{featuredimage}[/img]
Then in skins/base_skin/addnews/index_cke.tpl (because of using CKEditor), I added this:
{foreach from=xfields}
<tr>
<td>{$xfields.1}</td>
<td><input tabindex=2 type=text size="42" value="{$xfields.3}" name="{$xfields.0}" id="{$xfields.0}" > <span style="font-size:7pt">{$xfields.2}</span>
<span style="display:none"> {if 0=featuredimage}</span>
[url=#]Choose Image[/url]
</td>
{/if}
</tr>
{/foreach}
I'm not sure if it's right coding, but it works on mine. Basically {if 0=featuredimage} means it checks to see if the xfield is featuredimage and if it does it shoes the choose image link next to the field. Then the "&area=featuredimage" part means when the image is chosen, the url is added to the correct field.
Not perfect and as I say, hacky, but it does the job.
