CE image module?

Rate this Message:
Dear Magnolians Every little PHP CMS features good automatic image scaling. Magnolia CE however only has the <cmsu:scaledImage /> tag which only works for images stored in the website repository. We've come up with some home brewed stuff to fill the gap because this is definitely a CE feature, but our solutions so far have all had their problems. Now before I start over and "reinvent the wheel" I just wanted to check with you if there is a decent image module out there that could be shared. From our experiences it would have to have the following features: - DMS based - Configurable max. image size - Good quality downscaling - we never need upscaling - speed is less of an issue than quality - maybe configurable sharpening would be nice too - Smart management of downscaled versions of an image - Reuse of already scaled versions if the size fits - Best if stored in a subnode of the node which contains the original image so that when the original image is being replaced also the different size versions are deleted I guess if no such module is available I'll start to re-factor our code. But if I don't have to... -will ---------------------------------------------------------------- For list details see http://www.magnolia-cms.com/home/community/mailing-lists.html To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <user-list-unsubscribe@...> ---------------------------------------------------------------- |

Well, the screencast look promising, although... the scaling is not documented - only cropping. Are you familiar with the module? I found "automatic image scaling" on the features list. Can you tell me anything about that? Regards, Will On 07.11.2009, at 20:33, Danilo Ghirardelli wrote: > >> I guess if no such module is available I'll start to re-factor our >> code.

Hi Will,
the module does what he said... it does automatic scaling with some options on formats. 1) You put an image (1600x1200) on media repository 2) you now can use this image in your paragraphs/templates by using either the el functions or tag media to specify the resolution you need and the resize/crop mode: - fit in: the image is scaled to fit in the resolution you specify; - crop centered: the image is scaled to fill the resolution you specify and image parts that outfits the required area are cropped (centered); - fill: the image is scaled to fill the resolution you specify. Outfitting image parts are not cutted; 3) Using the media tag you can just specify one target dimension (e.g. width) and the image will be resized to the required width keeping image size proportions 4) Using the media tag you can output html img tag with width and height in "ems" in order to scale accotrding to html body font-size All resize/crop modes keep image proportions. When an image is resized, you can specify some filters to be applied on resulting image like b&w and round corners.

Yes, after studying the doc some more I also figured this out. So I thought I should give it a try and installed the module. Apart from the fact that the doc does not describe how to add a media selector to the dialog (I got it working though) I still cannot select any images. There is no "select" link. Is that because the images are not activated? Thanks for the insight.

Yes, media nodes have to be published in order to be selectable... Or you can set magnolia.develop=true in your magnolia.properties file.

Thanks! Now (with magnolia.develop=true) I get a "select" link... but I also do get a JavaScript security error when I click it (this is on Firefox 3.5 on Mac). Any ideas about this?
