I have a blog that uses Channel Images to upload and manage images. The content area is a WYGWAM field. I have a few sizes set up in Channel Images to allow the user to adjust the layout inside their content (landscape left, landscape right, portrait left, portrait right) when adding images to the WYGWAM content field. I then have two other sizes: thumb and gallery. These are for the image gallery that appears below the content. Thumb is set as the small preview in the field settings, and gallery is set as the big preview in the field settings. It all works great in the CP publish form.
However, when using the Safecracker form things don't work as well. I can select existing images, but when I add a photo to the content field (WYGWAM) it does not resize it properly. I do get the dialog box and options I want to choose from, but that choice is not being saved.
What happens is the image is added to the WYGWAM content using the size I have selected in the field settings as the big preview. I tested this by changing what size is selected for "big preview".
However, if I upload a new image and select a size it works fine. The issue is only with existing images (ie uploaded previously for other entries).
Is it possible to use sizes in Channel Images/safecracker/wygwam?
It was a bug in the most recent build. The developer has sent me a patched version that is working.

Is it possible to add additional file types to be recognised as images and thus trigger automatic creation of an image view when a resource is uploaded?
SVG files will preview in CKAN, but we have to manually add the image view e.g.
https://datastore.landcareresearch.co.nz/dataset/novel-yeasts-from-new-zealand-forests/resource/3812ee6b-dd45-45c9-b425-6a18375e5727
With text (for example) we can specify file format extensions to recognise as text and automatically create a text preview (ckan.preview.text_formats...). Is there an equivalent for images?
Thanks
It would only be possible by modifying the source code for your instance:
https://github.com/ckan/ckan/blob/master/ckanext/imageview/plugin.py#L9
Seems like a great idea to have the image view on a par with the text view in this regard, so I made a pull request:

In the past I've used the Image Field Module to require a user to provide an image of specific dimensions and it's worked great. I like the new Media Library Picker Field and it's integration with the Image Editor module to allow for cropping and re-sizing.
What I'd like to do is use the Media Library Picker Field but require the user to crop and/or re-size the image to specific dimensions. Is there any way to configure it that way? So far, the best I've come up with is to provide some help text to the user suggesting that they re-size the image to desired dimensions.
Should I just stick with the Image Field if I must have the image meet specific dimensions or is there a better way with the Media Library Picker Field?
You can't enforce that the image is supplied with specific dimensions using the Orchard 1.7+ media processing features, however you can ensure that it is displayed with correct dimensions.
Orchard 1.7 introduces the concept of media profiles, which effectively allow you to create a bunch of image transformations, name them, and then use them arbitrarily throughout your site.
On a recent project I was given a load of customer profile pictures for a testimonial page on an Orchard site. They were supplied in a variety of different sizes, and I knew I needed at least 2 different sizes (one for the main testimonial page, and a smaller one for testimonial widgets shown on other pages).
In the Admin Dashboard, I went to Media -> Profiles and created a new Media Profile called Customer_Profile_Regular, then added a Resize filter to scale it down to 100x100px (the resize filter is quite flexible, and you can create your own filters easily by implementing the IImageFilterProvider interface).
I did the same for a second profile, Customer_Profile_Small, scaling down to 50x50.
Then, using Shape Tracing, I overrode the existing Media Library Picker field display shape, and replaced it with this:
#{
var imagesField = Model.ContentItem.Testimonial.CustomerProfile;
}
#if(imagesField.MediaParts.Any()) {
<div class="customer-profile-image">
#Display.MediaUrl(Profile: "Customer_Profile_Regular", Path: imagesField.MediaParts.First().MediaUrl)
</div>
}
For the testimonial widget, it was simply a case of creating a similar shape override, supplying the other profile name.
Now I can upload any image to my media library, and use it as a customer profile image on a testimonial. Orchard will automatically resize (or perform other operations on) the image based on the profile I tell it to use, the result of which is stored in the site's Media folder so that it is only regenerated when necessary.
I'm using the Adapt WP explorer theme and I'm having trouble getting images to show in the portfolio. All the images will display on the Portfolio page (http://kefarpublishing.com/testwebsite/kefar-korner-2/), but when you click on the first one, the slider arrows show, but no image. Only the last five images are displayed. I have tried the following:
resetting permalinks
creating a gallery on the Portfolio page
deleting images from media, uploading into gallery
Also, the only way to get the categories to show is by creating a category titled "All," and then it shows all the ones I created, plus an extra All category (so I have two alls and the rest, or no categories at all).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
First of all disable any other plugins and see if your category menu works then. Then activate them one by one to see which one is conflicting. When you find it, just find an alternative plugin for what you need.
It sounds like you're inserting a gallery into your posts which isn't necessary. To display images in the slider, create a portfolio item, then click on set featured image, upload the images you want to appear on the slider (choosing them from the media library won't work, you have to upload to the post) and then update.
I am working in Drupal 6.26 Project.I wanted to know,how to create the menu as in http://www.honda.com.my/ using drupal 6.26. which module is useful. I have used module named megamenu, but that module i cannot upload images and display those images with menu. How to display image with menu name along with readmore?
As in one of my project I have same requirement and I use Menu Icons module.
This module allows you to upload an image in the menu-item's configuration form.
After uploading the image, the icon data will be added to the menu link's
options array.
When a menu link is goes through the theme layer, it will receive an extra
class which by default is used to attach the images as a background image to the
corresponding menu item. These class names are also compatible with Nice Menu's.
Hope you will get what you want.
I am new to developing on the iPhone so am sorry if this is an easy question, but it has had me stumped for a little while.
Basically the app displays data retrieved from an XML feed. In that feed is an element that contains the path to an image. eg http://www.myserver.com/myimage.jpeg.
I want to be able to display that image in the list view of my iPhone app.
Most importantly, I don't want to stop the list drawing for each image, the rest of the data should be displayed immediately and then each image downloads and displays as quickly as data speed etc make it available.
What is the best way of downloading that image and displaying it?
Ideally can someone point to some working example code.
Thanks
Stephen
Displaying the image: you could create a UIWebView and just point it to the path - and then it's fully zoomable too.
Displaying in the list view:
//Somehow download your image...
cell.image = Your Image
