Browsing through the Drupal.org support forums the other day, I came across an interesting support request, something that I just had to see if I could solve, maybe a niche issue, but something that really appealed to me.

The user was wanting to know if they could have files uploaded to specific directories based on the taxonomy term chosen, but not specifically in the same structure of the taxonomy tree or with the values of the taxonomy terms.

For example:

• Term 'A' uploads files to directory 'X'.
• Term 'B' uploads files to directory 'X/Y'.
• Term 'C' uploads files to directory 'G/X'.
• Term 'D' uploads files to directory 'P'.

As my experience with Drupal has shown, nothing is impossible, everything is achievable. And I knew with a little elbow grease this should be achievable with my FileField Paths module.

It's been a while since I've put together a guide on the usage of Textimage, but with version 2.2 right around the corner it seems like the time is right, plus it makes for a great way to test a module.

In this guide I will show you how to use Textimage for your primary links menu.

One of the nicer effects I used on TheSkinDrop.com, a gallery site of a sort, was the mouseover labels on the thumbnails. While this wasn't achieved using Textimage, it should have been, and likely will be when I have the time to perform an upgrade.

Here I will demonstrate how to achieve that effect using Textimage, firstly on a standalone item, then integrated with a Views grid display.

With Textimage 2.1 due out shortly I thought I would take the time to writeup a little guide to show an example of one of the many things Textimage can be used for.

This example is not specific to the latest version, however for best results, especially where transparency is concerned, I would suggest using the latest dev build or the latest stable build if you are reading this after 2.1 has been released.
