Hi!
I'm testing out a new 4.5 install. I'm hosted on a service provider who has disabled exec(), which isn't a problem with the normal Image module, as I just specify GD2 instead of imagemagick, but the current image field in Flexinode only uses imagemagick, so attaching images completely fails (in spite of reporting success). Seeing as flexinodes with images are half the reason I'm wanting to use Drupal instead of my current Mambo install (the other being taxonemy), I see two alternatives:
1) Move hosts and all the hassles that involves, or
2) Hack Image around to create a new image field for Flexinode that can use GD2 (and anything else from Image that would be useful). It shouldn't be too hard given the image modue recently split out the library functions into a seperate .inc
Before I go doing anything radical, has anyone else actually done this already, or has it planned?
Cheers!
John.
P.S. I like the way Images are just another content node and integrate into the system, but I'm not a fan of the current implementation or appearance. Any clues on when the promised new Image and Gallery modules will be making an appearence? Is there anywhere I can read the proposed design for them to see if they will meet my needs?
