merge with imagefield_crop module

Project:Image javascript crop
Version:6.x-1.x-dev
Component:Miscellaneous
Category:feature request
Priority:normal
Assigned:Unassigned
Status:closed (won't fix)

Issue Summary

I think imagecrop and imagefield_crop should merge into one project. Both projects have good and bad points and it's very tough deciding which one to use.

imagecrop strengths
Nice, integrated interface

imagefield_crop strengths
Keeps original image (thanks to imagecache integration)
Uses existing imagefield backend

I know there was talk of this merge in the past... what happened?!

Second this.

It would be highly beneficial for several reasons. Foremost in my mind are:

  • Site-wide consitency in the UI across image inclusion methods, which would have immediate tangible benefits as well as the long-term benefit of building momentum for further consistency in this area.
  • A better UI. I don't mean this pejoratively. The imagecache crop UI is still a bit buggy and unfinished.

I dont like how imagefield_crop is "inline". If someone uploads a very big image it breaks the layout of my theme. I haven't used it in awhile so maybe its different now idk. The demo seemed like it worked good.

The main thing I really like about imagecrop is how I can set up different presets. This allows the user to crop a different section for the teaser img. check out this drupal post.. kinda old but explains more detail. "Relevance-Enhanced Image Reduction and image presets"

I'm trying to get imagefield_crop and imagecache working with ubercart, but seem to be having a few issues. I don't have time to debug at the moment, but has anyone got this combo working before?

Since I reopened this issue, it has become clear that the two modules actually provide very different tools. There may be scope to incorporate them at a later date, but I would rather put my efforts into fixing up this module so that it is more usable before going down that road. Marking this as wont fix for now.

harryhobbes it works fine with UC sites. I've used it a couple times. Only thing i could think of is maybe you dont have it enabled. to check goto manage fields under the product content type and edit the image. Then make sure you have it enabled and selected a imagecache preset with the cropping thing set up. If you need any help i'm usually on IRC in #drupal-ubercart and #drupal-support from 9am - 4pm EST mon-fri.
