"Show this image in the parent's teaser."

Asked by Daniel on 2009-01-07

Sorry if I've misunderstood this feature. When pasting an image from the gallery into the Editor, there's a checkbox for "Show this image in the parent's teaser." Just tried this on demo.prosepoint.org

I noticed that, even if I don't check it, the image shows up in teaser views both in Editions and reverse chronological lists. Is it possible to paste images in a story but not have them turn up as teaser images?

When viewing a story teaser ProsePoint first looks for any inserted images with "Show this image in the parent's teaser." checked to display as the teaser image.

If there are none, then it picks the first inserted image to display as the teaser image.

So, presently, unfortunately, there is no way to insert images without having one image turning up as the teaser image.

(Unless you display images by writing your own HTML tags yourself and thus, bypass the ProsePoint image insertion mechanism)

I didn't think there would be a situation when a user would not want a teaser image. Evidently, perhaps my decision isn't the best choice for your case.

Can you tell me how much this affects you? So then I can consider changing ProsePoint to allow inserted images without teaser images.

Oh I see, so it's more along "Show THIS PARTICULAR image in the teaser." I understand.

It's not a huge deal, and I suppose it can be handled by inserting an external image instead. (?) The reason I would want to not feature an image with an article is to highlight only "important" articles with their own images.

Thanks for the quick reply. :)

Correct. The teaser image / image extraction functionality only works on images which are image nodes.

Also, if it's absolutely necessary, an option for yourself would be change the code to suit your situation. The relevant portion is in .../prosepoint/profiles/prosepoint/modules/prosepoint/prosepoint_editor/pp_ed.module, function _pp_ed_img_extract_callback(), around lines 204-211 (for ProsePoint 0.13).
