imagecache

The imagecache module is awesome now but it has only 3 actions: scale, resize and crop. My proposal for SoC is use imagecache 2.0 and the hook_imagecache_action (http://www.darrelopry.com/story/imagecache-2x-beta) to create new actions like:

• Watermark
• Rounded corners
• Borders
• Insert text
• Insert image
• Rotate
• And so on

There are a lot of new possible actions, you can go to imagemagick options for more action examples: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-options.php

Hello,

I have a module that fetches embed code for videos from a 3rd party provider and creates nodes on a per video basis. The embed code also comes with a link to an image. Eventually, the module will download the image (wget), store it on the server and associated it with the proper node.

I would appreciate help on how I could "pass" the images through imagecache.

Any suggestions on how to do this?

Thanks

Image Enhanced Scaling is dead – long live ImageMagick Advanced Options! Yes, the Long Module Names Movement is back with longer names than ever before!

As of Octover 10, Image module comes with a new contributed module: ImageMagick Advanced Options. This is good news for anyone who needs fine-grained control over their images in Drupal, such as photographers or managers of image archives – regardless of wheter they use Image module or not. This post describes how it came into existence and why you should use it.

I have a problem. And I am working on it now, for 4 days. I can't get imagecache to work on my site where phpbb3 is integrated. I did everything I found on the drupal site to get it working.
I found that with the integration of phpbb in drupal stops imagecache from working ( or viceversa )
The .htaccess file that needs to be placed in the forum directory blocks the creation of the imagecache directories and thumbnails.

So there is quite a bit of duplicated code and convoluted interfaces for manipulating files. especially images...

imagecache, image, watermark, imageexact, etc, etc are all relatively simple 'filters' or 'processors' for files. I've got different versions of imagecache with various gd filters, image2ascii conversion, mosaic affects, etc floating around, along with some tools for processing quicktime files and front-ends for ffmpeg I'd like to make available to the community, but coding a module for each one would be a real pain, and would make for a rather module heavy drupal...

imagecache is really a proof of concept work for generating images on the fly, but I had to throw the 'preset' and 'action' management interface into it so it could do its good work. I think there is a strong need to sort this kind of processing into its own little library. Actions.module or filter.module would be a good model for a UI I think.
