Hi yellowled,
I'm still having trouble with the multiple categories link - see above and here:
http://board.s9y.org/viewtopic.php?t=12293
Any idea why I can't have an entry list from multiple categories the usual way?

Currently not, but I'll have a look at it asap. Asap might take some time, however. I'm a little swamped
Please remind me via email or PM if I don't respond to this within a week from today. Thanks

Check that thread again YL - I made a suggestion there, and hopefully Garvin will give an opinion as well.

Hi...
yellowled, would it be possible to fill the custom entry field (ep_MimboImage) with the s9y image id instead of the image url? I'm trying to add dynamic image resize support (
http://board.s9y.org/viewtopic.php?t=12478) to have the frontpage images in the recommended size without needing resized versions...

Hi!
yellowled, would it be possible to fill the custom entry field (ep_MimboImage) with the s9y image id instead of the image url?
No, not without creating a custom event plugin. The entryproperties coding always inserts the path to a mdb file into the insert box, never the ID.
This could be enhanced in the entryproperties in the future; but not for s9y 1.3 and it cannot be done within a template.
Regards,
Garvin

Not sure what you mean here. I assume you don't want to select an image from the media db using the select dialogue for MimboImage in the extended entry options but rather just enter an image id in the MimboImage field, right?
No, that wouldn't work since the entries_*.tpl files are not prepared to translate the image id into an URI. Do the images in the media database even
have a unique ID other than the file name? I also have to admit I don't know if this is possible at all, and I admit I haven't read the dynamic image resizing thread so far

Yes, they do have an id
The dynamic resize plugin extracts the filename from img src attribute and selects the fitting image id from the db.
But the markup can only be used on the entry/extended entry, not on the body itself. If you know the image id in the .tpl however, then you can create the url (with all it's GET params) all by yourself to resize the image. I'll have a closer look at that...

very nice port
If there is the wiki plugin installed and text like ((sample)) it will destroy the layout

idea for Mimbo version 2.0
Couldn't the MimboImage be included in the entry view as well? That should include the entry view itself and the entry list of an category. That should be possible with smarty, shouldn't it? Cause right now the frontpage displays the entry with the MimboImage, but if you click the category header then only the entry body is listed without the MimboImage. Somewhat inconsistent...
*edit* note to self: try it before asking, lazy Ormus... I'm already on it, actually it's pretty easy...

I have no intention to expand Mimbo to v2.0, simply because it's not my design. It's a port

That's not inconsistent, that's the way it's done in the original

Why don't you go ahead and create an entirely new template based on Mimbo while you're at it? That's the ideal way of getting into template design for s9y

I kind of do this already
WIP with lots of unfinished business:
http://familie.lobenstein.info/ (sorry for messing up a good design, hehe).
Changes up to now:
- changing the style by daytime (night/day background)
MimboImage in the entries as well
Only 2 featured category entries
MimboImage sizing done by hardcoded widths
feed added to navbar
Oh, in case you haven't noticed already: My php is better than my css/design

Just wondering.. I'm new.. and the Karma plugin didn't work when I tried it out. It was after I was already done installing Mimbo so I don't really want to kill this theme. Wondering if it's something I messed up or something w/this theme??
Thank you!!!! You did a great job

Well, can you be a little more specific on that? Did the plugin not work at all, not even show up etc.?

I just re-installed. It's doing what it was before. Once you click on a star, the results are to the right a bit.
