v1.5.x - Flash Crop Admin Addon

[raminia]

Requires Pixelpost 1.5
Flash cropping tool for thumbs. Works similar to 12CropImage but more user friendly and neat.

Instruction:
To use it just turn off the 12CropImage tool in Options >> thumbnails >> Crop Images and try to edit an old post and you'll find a new submenu named Flash Crop. Click and use it! Also after uploading a new post, scroll down to the bottom of the page an you'll find Flash Crop there.

Nice one! Better than 12crop, Why is this one not standaard in Pixelpost?

'cause it's Flash :P

[Connie]

if you notice that you cannot use right-click-context-menu in your browser in the admin section, (this is an old situation caused by 12CropImage), then you should use this AddOn for sure

because then the Javascript from 12CropImage tool will not hinder anymore ...

Whoow, I never thought Flash could be usefull one day! :D

[Joe[y]]

this isn't saving the thumbnails for me. i've got everything uploaded and when i click crop it returns the page but with no thumbnail or error. hum?

[GeoS]

I found bug. When is saves thumbnail it changes chmod in my case to 660 and apache can't serve it :/ Now I'm working on bugfix.

[GeoS]

Found:
- /includes/flash_crop_classes/CropImage.php @ line 117

was:
chmod($destinationfile,0660);

should be:
chmod($destinationfile,0666);

[raminia]

Thanks GeoS. I'll fix it.
Joe, didthis bug fixing help you?

Edit:
download link is updated with the bug fix.

[Joe[y]]

hmm.. trying to edit an image with flashcrop after doing the above edit doesn't work either. :S

tell me what's the php version on your server.

[Joe[y]]

hey! sorry about that. it is indeed fixed actually! i stupidly saw the same thumbnail from before (no change) and didn't think to clear out my cache to see if a new thumb had been made... it has. the bug fix worked.

bad bad caches!

[raminia]

Did anyone try this after releasing the version 1.5RC1 ? this a very cool addon for Pixelpost 1.5.x. COOL ;)

[GeoS]

Im still using it after change of workspace in source code (IMHO I also made an update in CVS for this problem).

Its great :)

[raminia]

I don't recall that changed workspace. could you tell me? should I revision the addon?

[Joe[y]]

yeah now i come to think of it the flash addon isn't working for me since rc - i can't rememember what we changed for the save image workspace.. editing the image still works with this addon.

[GeoS]

Yeap,
I made an update with my local copy of your addon and after that its working fine.

I dont know why and when but someone made change of name for one of workspaces used just after upload.

PS Sorry I mixed to things. There were update on CVS by someone from us (dev team) in /admin/new_image.php and after that I made update in my local copy of your addon.

[keoshi]

I have one suggestion: could you add some information on the crop? I'm referring to actual crop size like in here: http://textpattern.net/wiki/images/Pivot-edit-thumbnail.png

OR maybe restrict the minimum size of the crop to match thumbnail size set on the thumbnails options.

That would be a great improvement. Thanks!

hi

i'm trying this addon but I see only a white box, the flash object isn't loaded.
I'm using 1.5-rc.
What may I have done wrong?

thanks
maxxer

[Joe[y]]

there are some problems with addon workspaces right now. these will be fixed.

[maxxer]

']there are some problems with addon workspaces right now. these will be fixed.

has it been fixed in 1.5 final?

thanks
maxxer

[GeoS]

IMHO yes.

If you need any help then PM me.

[maxxer]

I will take a look.
At first sight, after upgrade from 1.5rc flashcrop is still not working. I will try reinstalling it again, and then I come back.

Thanks :)
maxxer

[GeoS]

Ive checked it minute ago and both workspaces are the same. It should work with Pixelpost 1.5 Final.

[RobbieMc]

I have just updated to 1.6 Final and FlashCrop doesn't seem to work on new image any more. I can still edit an image to change its crop, but it does not ask for the crop after the uplaaod. Instead it just shows the full size image (I have 12c turned off). It worked fine in 1.5Beta.

Anybody else have this problem?

Thanks for any tips.
Rob

[RobbieMc]

I found the problem. The workspace in the new_image file was called 'thumb_created", whereas the workspace in the addon was called "default_thumb_created". I changed the addon workspace name and it seems to work fine. Will this cause other problems elsewhere?

Rob

[Dennis]

Rob, this will not cause problems since you only changed the addon workspace.

I guess you upgraded to 1.5 final since we're still working on 1.6 :D

[GeoS]

It would be nice if Raminia could upgrade his addon as this issue Ive seen long time ago.

[RobbieMc]

I guess you upgraded to 1.5 final since we're still working on 1.6 :D

Yes. 1.5 Final :) but I'll take 1.6 when you are ready. :)

[PhilipD]

I use Pixelpost 1.5 and when i add the file "admin_FlashCropImage.php"
in my addons folder i ...:confused: :confused:


I load the admin/index.php and when i press any of the links

NEW IMAGE/IMAGE/CATEGORIES/.....etc

i get a simply completly white screen with notihing at all in it.
If i remove the file from the addons folder anything working fine again..

Any sugestions please...

[Dennis]

First, there are more files needed then the one in the addon folder, secondly look at this post http://forum.pixelpost.org/showpost.php?p=39003&postcount=27

[Antcurve]

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /flash_crop_classes/CropImage.php on line 300

Why? I use Pixelspot 1.6.0, PHP 5.2.4 and Apache 1.3.37.

[GeoS]

Reupload this file.

[philiper]

Same problem as PhilipD !!! using pixelPost v1.6

Don't understand the problem

[GeoS]

Reupload related PHP file!

[faucio]

After installing flash-crop v.1.2 in Pixelpost 1.6,
I try to modified an already pubblished picture to change tumb, but I always obtain a white picture and inside "Please wait while the image loads....".
Can you help me?
P.S. I have just downloaded last version (file name is admi233n_flash_crop_1_2.zip but the version showed in addons section od admin panel is 1.0, as in the admin_FlashCropImage.php file)

[Dennis]

Is the image folder readable?

[woodyanderson]

I just started getting this same problem beginning 1/1/08. I didn't make any changes prior to this happening. I have since uploaded the new version of the add-on, but that didn't help and the 1.0 version is still displayed in the Admin panel.

Interestingly, I have one computer where it works. My laptop w/ IE7 allows (Firefox on my laptop doesn't work) me to use Flash Crop. I have tried IE7, Safari, Firefox on multiple computers and I get the same message.

[faucio]

yes! it is! 755 permission setting as stated in installation guide! :-)

[Dennis]

Where are your images located? In the images folder or did you rename that folder?

[faucio]

The names of all folder are standard.

[twirp]

Who's your webhost? You might have to remove the chmod line or change it to 0644 on some hosts.

[woodyanderson]

I host with e2 and all my folders names are standard. Thanks.

[woodyanderson]

Has anyone else experienced this addon not working? Has anyone figured out a solution? I'm still getting the "white picture and inside "Please wait while the image loads...." when trying to access Flash Crop.

Still don't know why IE7 on my laptop works, but no other browser (including ie7) on my laptop or other computers I have access to.

[smenzer]

I'm having the same problem as PhilipD. I have pixelpost v 1.7, I've put the flash_crop_classes folder in the /includes directory and the admin_flashcropimage.php file in the addons directory. I also tried changing the workspace from "default_image_created" to "image_created" and that also did not work. I installed the latest version of this addon from the pixelpost website today.

please help!!
