Re: Admin plugin: glx_admin_image_resize

Re: Admin plugin: glx_admin_image_resize
I would be really intrested in a crop function. And maybe a selector, which part of the image to use for the Square image.
The most intuitive way would be to make a flash interface like at Flickr.com, You know, when you produce the Thumbnail for you buddy icon.
I know about flash, so I could develop the swf file for that. But I have no clue about Plugindevelopment for Textpattern. Post me a line, if you would be intrested to work together.

Re: Admin plugin: glx_admin_image_resize
Would it be possible to make a Setup Tab for this plugin in the Admin area?
I mean to save the standart setup for the plugin like maximum image scale, thumbnail etc?
And is it possible to check different versions of the GDLib? The Plugin Works fine on my local Installation on Mac OS X. But on the Host, it seems, that there is an old version of the GD installed.

Michael i drop you an email later, i also think that a cropping in flash would be the best thing to do, i must look at that buddyicon thing on flickr, i missed that one…
Yes a setup could be done, but im not really sure how, cause adding things to textpatterns orginal interface is bit of a hack… i have to think about that one….

Re: Admin plugin: glx_admin_image_resize
Just wanted to offer a big fat thankyou for this plugin and fervent hopes that the ability to crop images is on the not-too-distant horizon.
Beautiful stuff.

osei,
how about using Andrew Collington’s Crop Canvas class ? (with permission, of course).
See here for an example. I use this everyday for Daily Reza and it works flawlessly and has extra parameters to customise.

Re: Admin plugin: glx_admin_image_resize
Image resize plugin is great. Thanks for making it admin plugin. The UI needs polishing and careful forward thinking to make it excellent. I belong to “less is more” -group. Less options – intuitive to use.
I’ve been wondering if the original pictures could be stored somehow.
That would make it possible to develop a system that does image size changes and other alterations site-wide afterwards. For example if you wanted bigger images for the image gallery because of the site re-design. The downside of that is it would take more storage space but maybe there could be an option to make changes permanent. Well, I guess it is complex to do but – possible. My €0.02 into the pool of ideas.
This whole idea comes from the brilliant way that picasa2 does the job. Even the first version was great.

Re: Admin plugin: glx_admin_image_resize
4 Things.
- Thanks, for a very useful plugin, your work is much appreciated. Really!
- Just want to add my support to the crop idea, which I found myself wishing for after I’d gotten over my joy at how much time this plugin will save me.
- could you (osei) add more IDs to elements so we can style them a little more easily with css. (I’ve been working on a css layout that is a little more efficient with space).
- I like the cookie idea as well, so that the user doesn’t have to retype a param if he/she is batching.
Once again, Thank you. The above suggestions are all icing, the plugin was cake.

Re: Admin plugin: glx_admin_image_resize
Sorry for the stupid question: what is supposed to happen after I activate the plugin? I can’t see anything new. Is there supposed to be something in the image tab?

Re: Admin plugin: glx_admin_image_resize
Hi Andreas,
you have to select an image (with a click on its name) to view the Plugin options.
