Hippo CMS Image Browser Update

Vijay Kiran — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 03:21:05 +0000

The next tag/version of Hippo CMS will have an updated image browser. The images can now be displayed both as List or a Thumbnail Grid, see the screenshots below.

Grid View

List View

The Grid View is implemented using simple css and ul tags. Here’s an example of the HTML/CSS that is used to convert a ul with images into a Grid:

 class="gallery-list">
     class="gallery-item">
         src="image.png"/>
     >
      class="gallery-item">
          src="image2.png"/>
      >
>

ul.gallery-list {
   display: block;
   overflow: auto;
}
 
ul.gallery-list li {
    list-style: none outside;
    float: left;
    margin-right: 5px;
    margin-bottom: 10px;
    margin-top: 10px;
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
    text-align: center;
}
 
ul.gallery-list li img {
    vertical-align: middle;
    padding: 5px;
    border: 1px solid #eee;
    width: 60px;
    height: 60px;
}

There are some nice image management features planned for Hippo CMS, so stay tuned for the updates.

Updated: Related Documents Plugin for Hippo CMS 7.3

Vijay Kiran — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 17:28:43 +0000

The Related Documents plugin for Hippo CMS allows the editors of the documents to select “related” documents of the current document. The plugin provides automatic suggestions using Similarity Search and Referring documents. Also, the document editors/authors can hand-pick the related documents.

The plugin is now updated for CMS 7.3(released last week). You can get the plugin from the Hippo Forge, the demo project is also now updated to 7.3. If you are already using the plugin, then there are no changes required in the plugin configuration to make it work with 7.3. Just update the plugin version in your pom.xml to 2.05.00 and you’ll be good to go.
