Initial import of imagecrop. This module provides an extra imagecache action called javascript_crop and hooks into modules or fields to manipulate images with a javascript toolbox
1 Description
2 -----------
3 This is a development version, do not use it on production site unless you know what
4 you are doing.
5
6 This module makes a javascript toolbox action available thanks to the power
7 of Imagecache 2. It can currently 'hook' into the image module and cck imagefield widget.
8 It will add a 'javascript crop' link on the edit form of an image node or a node with an
9 imagefield widget. The popup window will display all available imagecache presets with
10 a javascript crop action. In your theming you can use the imagecache theme function with
11 a preset. The imagecache action will make a database call to choose the right crop area.
12
13 The main difference with projects like eyedrop or imagefield_crop is that it doesn't
14 provide it's own widget to upload images, instead it just 'hooks' into image files.
15 In the future, more modules will be supported and eventually a 'image file browser'
16 will also be made available.
17
18 Everyone is invited to submit patches for more module support. I might
19 even give some people cvs access.
20
21 Installation
22 ------------
23 You need imagecache 2, imageapi and jquery_interface.
24 You need to apply the patch to the imagecache module. (patch -p0 < imagecache.patch)
25 (Support this module by going to http://drupal.org/node/231663 and review the patch)
26 After you enable the module, you can go to admin/settings/imagecrop and enable
27 support for modules & fields to display a link.
28
29 Copy the page-imagecrop.tpl.php to your /themes/yourtheme directory. This way, only
30 needed html will be displayed for the cropping (there are still some css-issues though,
31 but it will work for now).
32
33 A cron task cleans up the imagecrop table clearing records from files and/or presets
34 which do not exist anymore, so make sure cron is running.
35
36 Features, support, bugs etc

38 File request,bugs,patches on http://drupal.org/project/imagecrop

40 Inspiration
41 -----------
42 Came from the imagefield_crop module on which I based the html and jquery
43 with some adjustments.
44
45 Todo
46 ----
47 Major code improvements like javascript,css & language cleanup, help descriptions,
48 support for modules and more. cf @todo's in all files.
