Unfortunately, right now this only works on a field whose Field Type is “File” – which is another 3rd-party extension, by Mark Huot. You can get File by Mark Huot here.
You enter one field id (the field id for the File field you have) – and Weegee will put a thumb from that field on the Edit page (see attached pic). This also only works with one weblog right now. Updates will happen if anyone has suggestions - or anyone cracks this open and sees cool ways to update it. Suggestions welcome.
You can download Weegee here.
]]>I could release it, but I’m goin’ nuts trying to solve one last hard-coded thing under the hood. (I also should make sure the license allows...although I’m not including markitup in the download...you have to go get that yourself)
So if any brave souls who have Extension writing experience would like to try this out, look under the hood and see if anything needs optimizin’, and maybe help me solve the issue (which is pretty much a JavaScript/jQuery issue) so no one ever has to open the ext file for anything, it would be appreciated.
If you’re interested, just PM me and I’ll get you the test files as soon as I can. I may not be up for a while, though...it’s 2:30am here...time for sleep.
This is now available at my Markitup Extension page.
]]>If anyone’s interested in trying it out I’ve attached it here, and an image to give you the idea. The original version didn’t have link or email buttons, so I added those as well, though one of the Slate guys told me they’d be adding that in the next version so hopefully their implementation will be nicer. I didn’t add the preview as I thought it would compete with EE’s own preview area and be confusing. Though a live preview could be cool, if perhaps overkill.
I’d love to hear what people think of this idea (as well as anything I could do to improve the extension itself of course).

update: 1.0.4 - bug fixes and added configurable help button.
]]>Update 1 Added the ability to use separator="[string]" in a template tag to override the default separator
]]>I’d prefer to not have the tabs at all, but this would be the next best thing.
]]>Simple Relation looks and works identically to a native Relationship field type, but it avoids the relationship table altogether, creating a very “simple” relationship by storing only the related entry_id. This way you can use EE’s built-in weblog:entries “search” parameter to filter entries - which might be easier than trying to mess with Reverse Related Entries and multiple embeds when trying to sort by category. It may have other uses, but that’s all I need it for. Might save you from having to use the Query module, too.
See this post for an example of exactly how I’m using Simple Relation.

]]>I have come across the file extension by Mark Huot and I was wanting to develop something similar to this but for the custom profile field type. I am struggling to find a hook that can assist me with this and I was hoping you could give me some advice or point me in the right direction.
Many thanks

Unlike the others, it enables you to…
- Pull content from multiple weblogs
- Limit the number of selectable entries
- Order your selections with drag-and-drop
- Close your entries and mean it
- Set selections as searchable
Like Relationship and Multi-Relation fields, Playa uses the related_entries template tag:
{related_entries id="my_playa_field"}
<h4>{title}</h4>
<p>{body}</p>
{/related_entries}

Enjoy!
Updates:
- 1.0.8 - Bug fixes
- 1.0.9 - Solution for the Quick Save dilemma
To use this in a template you can just drop the field name and it will output a 300x300 map. You can customize the width/height with their respective attributes. So, assuming my field was named office_location the code would look like this
{office_location width="400px" height="200px"}
There are a bunch of attributes you can set, they are as follows:
key="” To override the key set up in your CP.
x="” To override the default centering.
y="” To override the default centering.
zoom="” To override the default zoom.
center_on_points="false" To have the map use the default centering, not the center of the points
show_empty="true" Will show a map even when no points have been defined
Finally, if you don’t like my default map then you can get to the raw data as follows:
{office_location_raw}
{latitude}, {longitude}
{/office_location_raw}
To clarify, just append a “_raw” to the field name and then inside of that pair you can use the {latitude} and {longitude} variables to return each points location. The pair will loop for as many locations as you have.
Have fun!
]]>For a little more control replace the number of columns with a space and the labels with a space. Then in the edit field page change the field type to a text field and enter the number of columns you would like in the textarea rows. Then change it to a drop-down list and enter your labels in the drop down list box. Finally change the field back to a multi text and you’re done. Field specific settings.
Also, the template for this field is a pair and should look as follows (assuming my field name is {members}):
<ul>
{members limit="50"}
<li><strong>{col_1}</strong>: {col_2}</li>
{/members}
</ul>
<ul>
{members col_1="Mark"}
<li><strong>{col_1}</strong>: {col_2}</li>
{/members}
</ul>
Update: You can now use the backspace="x" attribute like in weblog entries tags.
