Image
At its core, image handling also deals with files, so the FileAPI SIG will have content of related interest.
A few of the image handling items to discuss include: file storage, derivatives (thumbnails, resizing), image manipulation (cropping, watermarking, etc.), galleries, CCK image node.
Impromptu DimDim Session about Emfield + Imagecache
I'm going to do a quick, impromptu Dojo session on DimDim about using Embedded Media Field in conjunction with Imagecache. Because I feel like it. Sorry about the short notice; I'll post deets here for interested people who want to know but missed the show... For Drupal 6. Join #drupal-dojo in IRC.
Image compression / JPEG Quality
There seem to be two places where I can set the 'JPEG quality' of uploaded images:
admin/settings/image-toolkit
admin/settings/imageapi/config
So, question 1) What does each setting do - why are there 2 settings? As far as I can make out, the imageapi setting affects imagefield and imagecache, whilst the other setting effects other uploaded images.
DrupalMedia.org Launched for the Sprint!
As a supplement to the Media group, I launched Drupal Media today to help with the ongoing Media sprint efforts. On its front page, you'll see a map to the next sprint (which is at Mansueto - 7 World Trade Ctr, New York, NY this Friday-Saturday, October 23-24, from 9-5). Tabs are also available for discussions (add your own), videos, and a feed to the Media module issue queue. Please give me any feedback or desired functionality that would be useful for the site. (Including long-term plans for the useful domain, contributed by the good folks at Development Seed.)
Don't forget that you have to pre-register if you plan to come to the sprint, with your full name. Hope to see you there, or at #drupal-media in IRC!
Revised Media Roadmap for Sprint Oct 23-24
Media API
- Create a workflow diagram.
- Ensure Registration of Media modules works, and is complete. See media_get_registered_modules().
- Convert 'Resources' to 'Streams' to work w/ Stream Wrappers in core.
- Document all hooks for the module.
- Determine continued need/placement for 'Formatters'.
- Continue building Media form (ala Maarten's designs).
- Add thumbnail support for browsing files.
- Convert dbqueries to dbtng.
- Drupal behaviors & AHAH callbacks.
- Create any required images.
- Add default theme options for stream display in browser.
File/Stream Handling
- Handle uploaded files.
- Integrate with FileField.
- Ensure files shared in multiple places aren't deleted unless they are singular.
- Handle shared files/streams.
- Handle streams other than default public/private.
- Token integration.
Remote Streams
- Create YouTube stream wrapper.
- Create Flickr stream wrapper.
- Create Brightcove stream wrapper.
Media Metadata
- Determine continued need/placement for 'Metadata' (and how it fits w/ core RDF).
- Determine if key/value pairs is best way to go forward.
- Create table for storage.
- Create hooks for modules to store unique columns.
- Create metadata collection form.
SimpleTests
- Create simpletests.
Views Integration
- Allow a Views formatter for file browser -- perhaps an administrative dropdown of available views ala quicktabs or panels?
WYSIWYG Support
- Research the WYSIWYG module to determine how to integrate.
- Create a plan for WYSIWYG integration.
CCK Gallery- Displays in IE but not Firefox?
I created my first slideshow using the Views/Gallery, and for several days it all worked fine. All of a sudden I noticed that images were no longer rotating. I went back to look at the View (but I knew I hadn't changed anything)...then discovered that it worked fine in IE??
What had changed? I had installed the 'notify' module, and it complained about some js files (which I found and uploaded to the datepicker)...could that somehow have effected things? I'm at a loss,
Monster Media Sprint!
Fellow Media Moguls,
We're shaking off the dust from the Media module, which was sadly neglected during the heady Summer of Code, where we got Stream Wrappers into core! I'm excited to meet now with my fellow Drupalistas, and get the module presentable for Drupal 7 (and Drupal 6, if anyone is interested in helping on that front).
Drupal 7: image gallery, image content type
The maintainers of image module (me, sun) and the main author of image module in core (quicksketch) got together over lunch at DrupalCon Paris, to figure out the future of image module in D7.
The general plan so far:
- image module itself is obsolete. Just add an image field to whatever content type you want.
- image_attach should become a formatter / widget for CCK nodereference (which isn't in core). As for the current ability to add a new image node on the fly, there are currently several 'add & reference' modules (see the Duplicated Modules Hall of Shame...)
Image 6.x-1.0 code sprint and RELEASE!
Image module 6.x-1.0 is happening!
If you are going to be at DrupalCon Paris and you have an interest in this module, in getting a 6.x-1.0 release out of the door, and in this project's path towards integration with imagefield/CCK, then please come to the Image code sprint.
The tentative plan is:
- file patches, test patches, commit patches in the lead up to conference
- day 1 of sprinting: commit patches and release 6.x-1.0-RC1
- last day of conference: address any issues filed on the RC and make a full release.
Way to manage image.module Image display.
Hello, I posted an issue at http://drupal.org/node/558686 Can anyone help me with this one? I guess people in this group could know more about the solution of this one.
What is the best way to create an inline slideshow of images?
What is the best way to create an inline slideshow of images like the one they usually put on the first page and some articles on the http://www.nytimes.com site?
Required features:
1) The slideshow must be a view - for flexibility and easy placement in a node's body. The list of images must be derived from the view naturaly.
2) The slideshow must have some sort of controls: 1, 2, 3... links or "previous"/"next", etc. There must be some sort of manual control. This I think excludes the Views Slideshow module for the moment, since manual controls are not implemented there yet.
Creating new nodes from CCK nodereference fields
I can find at least four modules that do this in various ways:
http://drupal.org/project/addnode
http://drupal.org/project/popups_reference
http://drupal.org/project/add_n_reference
http://drupal.org/project/noderefcreate
Older modules that allow this sort of functionality include image_attach and audio_attach (part of http://drupal.org/project/image and audio module respectively). These include extra fields (title and image file, for instance), so for an eventual conversion of these to a generic system, an API needs to lets a module specify which fields the user fills in,
Media Sprint in Philly Today & Tomorrow!!!
Wow, somehow announcing this at gdo slipped off my radar. In any case, if you haven't already heard the good news at Zivtech you might want to know about the Media Sprint planned today and tomorrow in Philly!
Google image search
We would like to contribute the module, auto-image-file-name. There is a big need in all of our projects to google search enable our images. One of the important criteria for the same is the image file name.
Imagemagick resizing
What is the difference between resize and scale?
I have a slow (qnap/arm) server and using convert -resize ... it takes over 2 minutes to resize a normal photo. Using the scale method it "only" takes about 20 seconds. This relly improves the experience for me when resizing lots of images...
Is there any other way to speed up the conversion?
The change in image.imagemagick.inc:
$ diff image.imagemagick.inc image.imagemagick.inc~ 76c76< * String with the operation: 'scale', 'crop', 'rotate'.

Using Views to embed an Image gallery in another node

Media Shiai/Sprint
Join us at the two day Google Summer of Code - Media Shiai/Sprint (Media Ninja Tournament) in Cambridge / Boston (at the Brightcove headquarters) Denver (during DrupalCamp Colorado (and the following Monday at Denver Open Media! Our goal is a Media module Alpha release!
ImageField and WYSIWYG editors integration in D6
Now that FileField and ImageField have stable releases (both 6.x-3.0), it's time to join forces and integrate ImageField with the WYSIWYG editors our clients love (need) so much. Some projects exist for Image and work very well, many of them plan to support/switch to ImageField at a later stage, and it's just difficult for me to decide which project to help. For you too ? Or are you involved in one of these modules ? Please help by editing this wiki page.
IMCE + IMCE WYSIWYG API Bridge
Image Upload
http://drupal.org/project/imagefield_crop - An AJAX crop on upload tool for ImageField

User Image upload, management and workflow
Hi guys,
Been trying to find a solution for this for weeks now and seriously could need some help pointing me in the right direction or at least tell me if this is possible or not.
