Image Cropper v0.9

I’ve just updated the Image Cropper datatype with some adjustments, bugfixes and new features:

Ability to configure what quality you want the crops in
Default positioning of crops (Left/Center/Right and Top/Middle/Bottom)
Fixed an interpolation issue when resizing that would produce a soft border around the crop
Fixed an issue when saving/publishing after a postback

I’ve changed the location where crops are stored from an underlying /crops folder to the original image location as well as changed the name of the generated crops to /media/(propertyid)/filename_(cropname).jpg. I did this because it will let you override the default image thumbnail in the Media section by naming at least one of the crop presets ‘thumb’.

PS! Insert image dialog in RTE will still show a rectangular vertically centered view of the thumb, so you are warned ;-). I’ll add a configuration option for this in the next version.

Thanks to all for your feedback on the first release. Lots of great ideas that I’ll try to implement at some point such as max viewsize (Thanks Thomas) and more.

awesome stuff! and it keeps getting better. This is a wonderful addition to umbraco - should give designer/developers a huge sense of security knowing they can have even more control over client managed content and design integrity! Thanks!

Sweet Job. Looking forward to being able to use it soon.

Good job, Kenneth! Though I'll probably wait for next version before I update ;-)

kenny... it appears that i cannot add any new datatypes that are not imageCroppers after installing the cropper... is this an error on my part or something you need to address? clean 4.0.1 install...

#5 bob

here is the error i get when trying to create a new datatype... An error has occurred because a control with id 'ctl00$body$ctl02' could not be located or a different control is assigned to the same ID after postback. If the ID is not assigned, explicitly set the ID property of controls that raise postback events to avoid this error.

@bob - fixed it just before I went on a holiday trip to Spain. I´ll make the last build available when i get back this Friday.

Hi, looks like an interesting package... Having a few issues pulling the data when its used in the document tree rather than media. Would love to see the source if thats possible :) Lau

Hi Kenny, Great stuff! When Creating a new datatype I get this error An error has occurred because a control with id 'ctl00$body$ctl02' could not be located or a different control is assigned to the same ID after postback. If the ID is not assigned, explicitly set the ID property of controls that raise postback events to avoid this error. I saw Bob got the same error. Have you already created a new build? I downloaded the one on this page, but it still gives the error. thanks Martin

Thanks for you plugins.There are questions than need help. How can i change the size of image when the section is shown? And how can i change the size of section to a fixed size when section is shown also?I call $.Jcrop(’#thumbnail’,{**}); again,but the older section is shown also.
