Created CCK Image Browser field, need support

Very cool indeed! Thanks so much for your work on this.

My suggestions to make this perfect:

- Get it to respect the image preset you have chosen, and display that by default in the node.
- Integrate display options for the CCK. One of them could be to link to the original image (for Lightbox integration etc.), while default would just be to display the inserted image. Maybe we could write in imagecache presets to override the preset chosen if desired in some cases.

Things to fix:

- Incorrect image path references (screenshot included).

Thanks again for your work, it's fantastic. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of time but if you need help I will try and pitch in where I can. When we have the above sorted I will be happy to add it into the main image browser project as a sub module.

Cheers mate

Yeah sure send it through.

cool I hope to be online tonight. Cheers

Cool just tested it quickly and uploaded it to http://demo.coredesigns.co.uk

1. I couldn't see anything modified in the imagebrowser module you uploaded a few posts back, which files did you modify?

Why would you want to send some parameters back? So they can modify settings they have already selected?

It works fine when you insert standard image presets, but if I try and insert an imagecache preset then it returns an empty url (might be because I don't have the modified IB module files).

Very cool though. Cheers

These two modules are great together in concept, happy to assist with any further work. Having trouble getting these to insert into the node edit (the filepath for the loding gif doesn't work for me). The imagebrowser itself works and displays the images, but this is not passsed into the preview for the filefield - also I'm getting a validator asking that the entry is numeric. Can I ask how your directories are set up?

Ah - got it - be sure to read #8 http://drupal.org/node/507242#comment-1782398 fully! - still happy to help with any tasks - let me know

I haven't had any time to spend on IB for a while now, but I've set aside tomorrow to work on it.

danyalejandro I'm not sure what timezone you are in but if you are online would be good to go through a few things and get a dev version released to the public.

danyalejandro sure I'll look into adding support for that.

Is image reference a module you have specific written for image browser or do you have plans to use it further afield (i.e. for use on any site which has the Image module installed?).

Reason being I'm thinking of dropping the dependance of the Image module in IB since it doesn't really make sense any more. Images will be uploaded into the Drupal file table like normal, and then ImageCache will be used to power the display of images.

Will allow me to cut out a lot of the Image bloat. It shouldn't mean too much will need to change in your module and I will help port it over. Just thought I would let you know.

Hopefully this will help with integration with IB2: http://drupal.org/node/523714

Sub !

This is what I'm hearing:

+1 a desire to drop dependency on the image module (#15) to allow imagecache to do the heavy lifting

+1 a reasonable need for image meta data (author, tags, copyright #20)

I'm interested/need in both of these - but can it be done without image as node.. can the image in the file table be joined with a new "meta data" table?

Hi,
thanks for this great module. I have been looking for a clean way to insert image nodes without having to use inline images like in 'image assist'.
Everything seems to work fine, I have some issues though.

I'm using the latest IB Reference module, Drupal 6, latest Imagebrowser module and Firefox 3 on Apache and PHP 5.

1. The quick upload button works - it would be really cool if you could choose an image gallery(taxonomy term) to upload it to. I use these for filtering so the uploaded image doesn't really appear after the upload.

2. When I use 'unlimited' fields, the second field will show a 'remove button' as well as soon as I upload an image only in the first field. Haven't tested with fixed amount of images like 2 or so.

3. Is there a way I can change the image browser view layout? I would like my exposed filters to be there right away under the 'quick upload' like in the image assist browser(or any other view with exposed filters). I don't like having to open a new window for that. I agree that it makes sense once you have a lot of filters but I use only one or two.

4. If I use an exposed filter and open the 'filters window' and select a filter - the second time I open the window, the filter has moved to the bottom of the page and out of view.

Any help is appreciated but also thanks for a great job. Jakob

Sorry, just to be more precise: I'm using Image Browser 6.x-1.0-rc1.

I'm sorry - looking a little deeper into it, I discovered I should have posted this to people working with the image browser not here.

Sure thing danyalejandro. Probably best if we release 'Image Ref' as a separate module. Do you know how to maintain a module? Or do you just want me to compile it into ImageBrowser?

Additions have been made to ImageBrowser like requested. We just need to decide where to put this module now.

guys - you actually need to do less than you have done here. Just check out http://drupal.org/project/filefield_sources and look into its files/dirs - there is a sources/ dir in there - currently with imce-related files....

So the right way to go is to add little code there for imagebrowser support... right...

I know I am proposing that you forget all your code above... but what if I am right and mine is the best sollution.

guys - actually for most use cases - the idea of this one - http://drupal.org/project/nodereference_explorer

is better ...

most of the sites need to be able to JUST reference an existing asset (image node or an image field image) from within a node body or a field...

See http://drupal.org/node/439212 for an integration in filefield_sources. Starnox needs to modify IB a bit for it to be sensible.

* Image Browser Reference module is incompatible with Simple Menu *

When I click "Insert" , I get

Selectfile is not defined

in imagebrowser.js . Any advice?

kevin riggen ... please open a new issues for your questions.

blixxxa : are you sure? This seems to be the right place to contain issues with the Image_ref module.

I've been using the DEV version of Image Browser. It seems the function SelectFile has been removed from it, and that Image Browser Reference uses this function.

I seem to have fixed #36 by adding the following to the very top of imagebrowser.js

This does not seem to affect CKEditor support that the DEV version implements.

/**
 * FCKEditor insert function
 */
function SelectFile(url, width, height, alt, link, link_target, styles)
{
  if(window.opener) {
    //url, width, height, alt
    window.opener.SetUrl( url, null, null, alt );

    if (window.opener.GetE('txtLnkUrl')) {
      window.opener.GetE('txtLnkUrl').value = link ;
    }

    if (window.opener.GetE('cmbLnkTarget')) {
      window.opener.GetE('cmbLnkTarget').value = link_target ;
    }

    if (window.opener.GetE('txtAttClasses')) {
      if(styles == '') {
        window.opener.GetE('txtAttClasses').value = 'ibimage';
      }
      else {
        window.opener.GetE('txtAttClasses').value = 'ibimage ' + styles;
      }
    }
  }
  window.close();
}

Blixxxa, Starnox, danyalejendro :

Do you guys have a stance on what to do with this module? It seems if you took a little deeper look at it, and provided some information on the project page of Image Browser regarding this, a whole new level of functionality could be achieved.

While I'm using it I'll document anything that comes up and try to add some support.

Cheers,

I'm sorry, I though your question abount nothing happening on clicking insert was refering to Image Browser.

kevin it's great that people are modding image browser in these ways but nothing is final yet. Heck Image Browser v1 is still in beta. When some firm foundations are made with IBv2 and we have a firm API in place then we will advertise all the great plugins that come out of that.

The last thing I want to do is advertise something when it's not stable or something we change in v2 functionality since it's still in dev breaks any plugins made.

I've tried to follow quite a few cases to find the best module to add a kind of "imagefield browser with views as wysiwyg plugin". Currently I'm using insert, filefield_source + image_resize_filter, which all work really neat together. But to get the imagefield browsing functionality for existing images, I had to code a module of my own 6 months ago (I called it wysiwyg_imagebank). However it's just too custom built/hacky for general use, and imagebrowser seems to be much more flexible (and better looking).

Comparing to some others:
* nodereference_explorer was, at least 6months ago, too buggy to use. Using filefield_source is better than cck nodereference imo.
* imagefield_assist still has no views support.
* So many other modules that seem to almost work. But they usually don't have views or imagefield support, or are just generally unusable.

Imagebrowser seems to have it all - if the latest version can be patched to work with imagefield.

So, I'm wondering if the current imagebrowser 6.x-2.x-dev -version works, or is going to work, with imagefield? Shouldn't it be doable just by overriding the view and theming the output?

To answer my own question: seems to work really nicely with imagefield! Why isn't imagefield compatibility advertised on the module page?
It makes the module like... really good :). The last thing I'm wondering about is how this works with image_resize_filter?

bibo,

In what ways does it work with imagefield? Can you use Image Browser to select a previously uploaded image for an image field? How do you do that?

Thanks :D

Well, any images in the "files" table seemed to be available there by default (in the imagebrowser popup, activated via the wysiwyg plugin). Image and imagefield seem to both use that table (filefield and I guess upload-modules' files would be there also).

Depending on the permissions, it might be filtered to only images uploaded by the current user. The view can be configured and themed to show whatever.. in theory at least. I tried to set some exposed filters, but that didn't work. I had to move to other issues, need to test more when I have time. I've only tested the 2.x-dev release.

Please note: there is a patch for image_resize_filter (#825894: Changes needed to work with ImageBrowser (v1) module) that makes the images added by this module work with image_resize_filter, but the current version only works with imagebrowser 1.x. I'm planning to modify it to work with 2.x-dev when I have some time :)

+1 anyone have this or #439212: Integration with Image Browser working?
