Hey Erik. Yeah, I forgot to put that part in the video. I'll probably be changing the screencast when FF 1.1.3 (or 1.2) comes out.

Live Look just allows you to preview that exact same template that I show on the front end anyways. Only in the LiveLook tab. What's great about LiveLook is the ability to custom config your URLs for each weblog. In this case LiveLook previews at /index.php/about/{url_title}.

Thanks!

Exactly like what I am experimenting now, FF Matrix, LG Replace and imgsizer.

However I use FF {row_count} so that I don't have to limit the number of rows/images.

Wow - really great combination of resources to come up with an easy solution. I think I'll have to try and find a way to use this.

By the way, I was totally going to change my perception of you, right up until you got to naked valentine ;-)

@sip: I'm using {row_count} to match the exact row.

Are you using {row_count} as part of your needle? And then loop through use lg_replace as needed? that's a great idea.

v2 of the screencast coming soon (with FF 1.13 updates too).

For the needle:
{exp:lg_replace:haystack needles="{ff_field backspace="1"}image{row_count}|{/ff_field}"}

The backspace is not yet supported.

then loop through:
{ff_field}
{exp:lg_replace:replacement needle="image{row_count}"}
code with imgsizer
{/exp:lg_replace:replacement}
{/ff_field}

@Sip: Yeah, I just made the changes with respect to the replacement code. Works great!
Did you add backspace as a parameter into lg_replace?

If so, brilliant! The only thing I didn't like about my approach was that it was limiting and had lots of code. This certainly helped simplify it.

I'll be updating it soon as I said.

@Sip: backspace is supported in FF 1.1.2
I've made all the changes we talked about here. So much simpler, and now unlimited images. Rock!

Thanks a lot AJ! I had been planning on building out something pretty much exactly the same, and this is perfect timing. I'm hoping mine will allow for easy modular layouts for my client, much like Jason S-M talks about here 24ways.org/2008/making-modular-layout-systems

Thanks for a great video! This type of solution is something that would solve one of the main issues I still have with CMS's in general.

I get asked the question "can I place images wherever I want in the body of the page" on a regular basis, and I've always had to limit my clients to placing certain images in certain custom fields.

My initial comment was going to be about how you still have to specify how many images are "allowed" but it looks as though thats been solved, having read the followup comments :) Excellent.

AJ, this is exactly the solution I was looking for. Thank you so much to you and the rest of the EE community. You all rock!

This is fantastic--huge thanks for taking the time to do this and helping me see how the pieces fit together.

simply brilliant I'm gonna test this out real soon. thanks for sharing this with the rest of us.
