Plugin: Extract URL Plus 2

Correct. The variable names in the examples (plugin usage pages) are wrong. And as for proper documentation? Oh it exists, just waiting for the damned designer to make up his mind 😊

It would be nice if it were possible to wrap with the tags of this plugin such global variables as {site_url} and {homepage}, and global template variables.

Now wrapping {site_url} or {homepage} or global template variables with Extract URL Plus 2 tags do not change their output. It seems that this is an issue of template parsing order, isn’t it?

For some reason if I use this with imgsizer then I only get one image output.

This works fine (there are two entries to show here) -

{reverse_related_entries weblog="gallery" status="open" sort="asc" orderby="gallery_year"}

{exp:zm_extract_url_plus show="%full_url"}{artists_works_piece}{/exp:zm_extract_url_plus}</a>

{/reverse_related_entries}

This only outputs one of the images plus it retains the height=”” of the original File Upload string -

{exp:imgsizer:size src="{exp:extract_url_plus show="%full_url"}{artists_works_piece}{/exp:extract_url_plus}" width="140" alt="{title} {gallery_year}"}

I’m using version the plugin zm_extract_url_plus 2.0.1 - it was working fine, but now the file_size isn’t showing up.

This is my code.

{exp:zm_extract_url_plus url="{documents_file}"}
(<span class="extension">{extension}</span>, {file_size})
{/exp:zm_extract_url_plus}

Can anyone help please?

Would it be possible for this plugin to handle two urls at the same time?

Currently I’m using the extract_url (basic) on parts of a new site I’m using, and it’s working a treat. However, we need to let users post images from flickr in a very specific way (just using the embed code that flickr generates for them).

Using the first image I came to on flickr, the code that it gives me is:

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wet_knee/3100671051/" title="Flatts Lane by Wet Knee Photography, on Flickr">http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3174/3100671051_1e67ff2e05.jpg</a>

Now, if I put that into the original extract_url plugin, I get

http://www.flickr.com/photos/wet_knee/3100671051/http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3174/3100671051_1e67ff2e05.jpg

As you can see, it’s (obviously) given me two urls. What I need is to ignore everything before the second http://

Credits are given separately, so if it’s possible to put a second instance of the plugin in the same post to sort out the credit link that would also be good!

We need to be able to manipulate the images using phpThumb and highslide, so just pasting the flickr code straight on the page won’t work.

Can this plugin help?

Thanks!

Is there a way to use this with a local path? It fails if the URL doesn’t start with “http://”, etc. I’m trying to extract the file name but get a blank.

@emilyh Did you get the file size to show up at all? I’m having the same problem.

Note that file size will only work if the file is local. (I’m planning on changing this but will probably wait for 2).

Daniel: Thanks for the reply. The problem I had was because I hadn’t put the full url in the upload preferences. Once I did, file sizes showed up.

Interested to know how easy it would be to amend this plug-in to optionally return a width and height for a file, if it’s of a image type?

There is a plugin - imgsizer - which does this perfectly. Back on point; It wouldn’t be a difficult addition, no.

Oops, I don’t think imgsizer does what you need. This might though:

Usage:

{exp:zm_image_dimensions url="http://example.com/path/to/image.jpg"}
{height}px
{width}px
{/exp:zm_image_dimensions}

Did you ‘just’ write this?

Nah, had it in my personal collection for some time 😊 Useful for when they want to be able to upload their own background images (banners etc) 😉

Just noticed there is another param: height_subtract=”“, to deduct from the height val. Say your banner div has padding (ie they have regular text in there too) then put the sum of the vertical padding in there and bingo.
