After playing with this my head started spinning with my wishlist. Since I don't think these items will be really that difficult, I thought I would post them here for some discussion.

- the ability to disable pluggins
- ability to specify where files/images will be stored: http://drupal.org/node/881764

for the image plug-in:
- specify vspace/hspace (this can be done w/ css, but its just fast to do it here and is very common)
- image alignment left right (same as the "( )" above)
- the ability to browse existing images (at very least the use of autocomplete for previously uploaded images)

Let me know what everyone thinks about this.

Interesting.

One question though, why should you want to disable pluggins?

I may not want to let users add files (just images) or not have the need for embed videos/links/files and want to remove some clutter from the UI.

Its more of a UI thing and not really a necessity.

Thanks for the quick replies on this, that was crazy fast.

Well, I really like the ideas of vspace/hspace and img alignment, the only problem with this approach is the fact that this will clutter the UI, but I'm open to suggestions on how to handle this.

About disabling pluggings, I guess this could be handled with permissions.

About:
"the ability to browse existing images (at very least the use of autocomplete for previously uploaded images)"

I guess this could be done, I don't really know how yet because the image filepath is inside a pane array. I'll have to check this one.

For now, one my priorities is image integration with lightbox2/thickbox/shadowbox. That's what I been working on.

I think vspace/hspace/img alignment could go in an image properties collapable thing just like the "link" section. I kind of think that maybe the imagecache stuff should be grouped with the v/h/img stuff also since they kind of go together.

So using this again today, I think it might be nice to be able to just specify the width/height. Imagecache is nice but sometimes I need an image to be an odd size just for 1 page... so I either have to create an imagecache preset just for that one image, or resize the image before uploading. This would go well with the vspace/hspace section.

To go along w/ width/height, it would be sweet if their was a checkbox that said "use image resize filter" and it would use: http://drupal.org/project/image_resize_filter after you set the width and height.

Hi,

Just want to say very much thank you - this module is great.

What would also be great would be the ability to add a custom content pane that included either an image or a video and text.

And/or the ability to have wysiwyged content in one of these fields.

thanks

Thomas

You can do it with WYSIWYG. It's a little buggy but it works. http://drupal.org/node/235764
