I am not sure if this project is truly dead or not but I went ahead and started taking it apart to see if I could get it running for myself on both d5 and d6. I'm mostly the way there and wanted to post tarballs up here for others to check out. I'll ask the developer if I can get commit access if my versions work for people.

Summary:

  • Drupal 5 backport included. You'll need the jquery update to 1.2.6.
  • Changed the outer/inner frame combination which seemed to cause problems with drag and resize into a single frame with a chained draggable().resizable()
  • Changed permissions into administer, create and view so that you can control access better
  • Changed some CSS to be a bit closer to the Flickr version of this
  • Changed the Add Note link to button form input type
  • Minor bug fixes

d6 version tested 100% ok in Firefox, Opera, Safari and Chrome. Some display bugs present in IE6 and IE7 (big surprise!!).

d5 version tested 100% ok in Firefox, Opera, Safari and Chrome at home but seemed to be a problem when I tested at work. Basically when adding a note, the initial frame was not draggable although once I resized the frame it was then draggable. Have to test again at home. Some display bugs present in IE6 and IE7 (bug surprise!!).

I'm going to look into adding support for imagefield and see what that entails.

Excellent! Thank you for this, jaydub. I love this module and look forward to testing this when I have a chance.

this version doesnt work on my drupal 6.6 install on both opera and firefox.

The "add note" button shows up, but no action when i click on it. If i show an image in the leftsidebar, like a random one, display is messed up, the 'add note' link shows up in the block and full sized images are hidden when the link is displayed in a node view.

I'm not the original module developer so I can't speak to the methodology for making image annotate work but in my testing it does work. Here is my sample page:

Dont you use special javascript or whetever you didnt specified in the requirements?

Thanks,

nothing special at all. This is a stock install of drupal 6 with the required dependency of jquery_ui installed and nothing else extra added to support image annotate.

As for the problems you see when the image is in a block, that's probably not going to work at the moment since the module is supposed to be for a standard image node full view only so far.

Do you have a public test site you can post to look at? Have you tried with the garland theme as in my example to see if that changes anything?

Hi everybody,

just quick one before I start even download, install and test - is it possible to tag user on the image and is it possible to set up any notification for tagged user as it is on Facebook? Simple "Yes" or "No" answer (or if you prefer 1 or 0) is fine. ;-)

Thanks,
Peter.

The project is not dead, but I may have been for a while (I spend 8 hours a day at least per day managing Drupal projects, hard to find motivation when coming back home).

@jaydub: I am checking your updates and will commit it today if everything works fine.

Good lord, I was sure I had committed the latest version of my module about 2 months ago. The version available here is pretty old; since then we've rebuilt the functionality to work with CCK (imagefield) as it seems it's where the community is heading.

I am as well in the middle of changing all the jQuery; so far it was a proof of concept and I'd rather have it relying on prototyping. I'll share the temporary version tonight, though the jQuery is a bit bugged in FF. Keep posted I am on it!

@jaydub: sorry for letting you working on an old version, I'll apologize with a beer next time I pass by in Beijing.
