Hey there; Great plug in!

One thing I was hoping was that reflection would be available. I found it in the code but when it's enabled the images don't appear. Is this something I'm doing wrong or is there a reason why reflection doesn't work? Is there a reason it's not an option in the view settings?

I use imagecache and imagecache effects to get reflections on image (you must create a preset yourself and in your view, choose your preset in format of your image field).

I don't know if there is another way to do that.

Hi, I am very happy with this module.

About the reflection, shouldn't do this the module itself? I suggested this to implement in a maybe next future...

Thanks for your work!

The plugin's built-in reflection options are VERY INSECURE and would cause a huge performance on your server. Thus I didn't support them. sinasquax's solution is the only reasonable at this time.

sinasquax,

I almost have it, but am a bit lost by your instruction:

choose your preset in format of your image field

Could you or someone explain what this means and where I should be calling the preset?

Thanks

aaron, imagecache reflection action could be IMHO a great solution (I mean "no performance issues") but image_effects module/extension looks like quite abandoned right now and the release is very buggy (needs a patch to work, ignores background color...) so today it's not an easy option.

Any case, don't make much sense to me to package reflection as a different module when it could be included in imagecache_actions.
Are you in contact with image_effects developer? Do you think would be nice to join efforts?
