The new xowiki version in cvs head address these problems. In particular, xowiki supports now item-refs (references to other xowiki pages, written e.g. in the wiki links) which are able to address child-items of the current item. In particular, one can now refer to a child item via prefix ".SELF./" ("./" refers to the current directory, "../" to the parent directory, "SELF" alone could conflict with a page name, the leading "." reduces this likelihood). The plugin is adjusted accordingly.

Regarding carousel etc. as image selector: the used image selector allows upload and selection, while a typical carousel code does not provide this. So, in principle, the question boils down how to integrate this with a js selector. When just child-items are used, a carousel seems as a overhead. However, it would be nice to extend the xowikiimage to allow the configuration of other image directories.

all the best

Gustaf,

I have done a clean install (everything HEAD) and tried it out.  That's absolutely fantastic.  How on earth do you do things like that so quickly?  Thank you very much indeed.

😊

I see what you mean about extending to allow configuration of other image directories.  Yes, this would be good, though certainly not a necessity.  In point of fact, I did not mean to suggest using a carousel as an image selector.  I was just thinking about which bits of existing code I might be able to re-factor or re-use to do what you have done today.  I think the existing selector is wonderful as it is!

A couple of bits of housekeeping info I uncovered along the way in case it helps anyone:

- I initially tried using the new HEAD co of xowiki with oacs5-7 Core and the absent parent_id error mentioned earlier was thrown by 'ckeditor-images/upload_image.tcl'.  Presumably this reflects a change in oacs-core (perhaps some change to ad_page_contract or something) since the solution is to use a head co of oacs-core.  I agree probably not worth trying to fix for oacs5.7.

- There are some ds-comment statements in the ckeditor-images tcl pages.  Developer support is not set as a dependency so this will throw errors intially.  The solution of course is to either co and install acs-developer-support, or comment out the ds_comment statements.

- I have noticed that the 'list' method of my demo xowiki::Form is creating some Javascript errors.  Probably just a missing ';' somewhere causing amongst other things, yui-dom-event.js not to load.  I will have a look for this and report back.

This image selector and page orientated image storage is a really wonderful feature - thank you very much indeed.

I will finalise the v4 CKEditor stuff and send through.
