You should probably have a look at the picture module(http://drupal.org/project/pictures) – a very new module which I believe has a lot of potential. (http://drupal.org/node/166372)

Drupal needs more people working on elegant image solutions. Thank you for your efforts and for making your work available. Don’t pay too much attention to all the people knocking you for not contributing to one of the existing modules. It would be ideal if there was 1 perfect module instead of 5 different solutions but the fact is that different sites have different needs and there isn’t really an ideal solution for every situation in the case of image management.

hi i enjoyed the read

I think this module is fantastic! Drupal may be a powerful CMS, but WordPress is so much more loveable. The reason is because of features like image picker…thanks for making Drupal more intuitive!!!!!

One request…it would be nice to be able to use a border in uploaded pics- the kind of border, for instance, which you use in the thumbnail gallery. Any idea how this could be implemented?

I would weep with joy if this worked with relative paths, and was able to show Flickr photos too

Seriously, image management in Drupal is a nightmare if you’re just starting out like me, and just want something easy to use, right there on the edit page, which is what Image Picker is.

Trying out Image, Img_assist, imagecache etc, not to mention multiple versions of etc etc is a nightmare.

Thank you very much for this.

This is a great module! Very user friendly.

One thing I noticed, the background color of the image picker window is inheriting the background color of my site theme, which is unfortunately a deep blue, and unattractive. Attempts to alter the css have proved fruitless so far…

Hi man!

Great, very great module, all i need…

But i have a problem, and i’m complete noob in CSS…

Grateful for any clarification.

Did you mean to add the .svn folder to the zip folder. I only say this because I sometimes forget that when zipping. It caused a moment of confusion when SVN stopped working when I tried adding the module to my repository.

This looks like a good module, testing it out now!

Some notes after trying to get this to work:
In your imagepicker.css, please please please remove –
body{ background: white !important; }
and tbody { border-top: 0; }

If you don’t want to remove those, please don’t apply them ‘globally’ (ie, add a specific class to you body tag)

Also, my setup used a prefix on the drupal database. This causes conflicts when your module looked for the filter_formats and filters DB tables. To fix this, simple wrap the table names in you sql query with { and }.

So line 35 and 36 of imagepicker.module goes from:
FROM filter_formats AS ff
LEFT JOIN filters AS f USING (format)
to:
FROM {filter_formats} AS ff
LEFT JOIN {filters} AS f USING (format)

I don’t mean to criticize, just wanted to help you improve the module. I still haven’t tried it, but I hope to soon!

Looks like a great plugin! Unfortunately I’m having a problem with my img tags not being saved. I successfully upload and image, choose attributes and hit submit, but then on the page where I saved it there is no img tag! I’m using Drupal 5.1 and just grabbed the plugin yesterday. Any ideas?

LOL, do I smell Algis?

great module!
I am running into an odd problem though: I can upload a pic but when I try to insert it in the text, it doesn’t do it. I need to type the link manually.
I had TinyMCE and it worked fine, but I got so many issues with it that I removed it and since then, ImagePicker doesn’t insert the links into the text anymore. Does anyone have an idea?

I like this module. Nice and simple. I have made it work with Full HTML, as you have noted in the Readme file, but I was wondering if you had any ideas on what tags would need to be included in Filtered HTML to make the floating work.
Good job and hopefully we can see something come out of this.
Also, I could imagine this module looking really good with some (forgive me for what I’m about to say) “Ajaxy” goodness.

You might want to strip the .svn directory out of the tarball.

You might want to remove the .htaccess file and .svn directory from the tarball.

Thanks so much!

Wow – very cool; however, I installed version 6 beta of Drupal on my site. The module reports “This version is incompatible with the 6.0-beta1 version of Drupal core.”

Is there any way I can hack the module so it will work with 6.0? Is there a 6.0 release planned?

Thanks!

Very good module, congratulations!

However, there is a little think I wish to make it perfect:

As I use always the same options in my images, I wish a manner set the default options so that I haven’t so set each time the image size, thumbnail size and so on.

Thank you very much

Great module, thank you very much!

Just to queue up some more suggestions: inserting images appears not to be working in “text” mode but only with TinyMCE enabled. The ability to select the default options would be useful and comments on images perhaps too…

Hi Tony, looks like you dont support this module anymore..? The module is GREAT, however still buggy (Alex is right about everything – table name, CSS). Thanx for your work, hope u did not give up on it:-)
XLubos

Thanks for the module..

but i have some problem…
authenticated user cant used this module?

only site administrator can used this module…

cant you help me..

i’m indonesian,,sorry with my english

Hi Tony, Module is very good but I’m using 5.2 version of Drupal and I’ve had many problems with permissions table (module doesn’t appear in this secction) and I have to dissabling it after each use.

Jordi

For some reason, the module will not ‘insert’ the image into the text I am editing, I have to create the link by hand.
Also, after previewing a post, the interface is always ‘unfolded’, even if I folds it before clicking on preview.

Looks like the dude gave up. Pathetic.

@tony: drop me a line, if you’d like to move this to the Drupal CVS as you explained. It is always a good idea to have your project hosted there, as others might be able to pick it up, if you need to abandon it because of other personal commitments. You get the joy of all the packaging and bug reporting infrastructure, etc.

@Tony … i already install imagepicker module, already in full html but the image still not appear … Can you help me ?

I fixed the problem of the cut-off of the form on left side within the iframe.

Go to: imagepicker.css

CHANGE THIS:
#imgp {
clear: both;
padding-top: 10px;

TO THIS:

#imgp {
clear: both;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-left: 30px;
padding-right: 30px;
}

Why when I upload an image, does it just insert the title (the alt text) in to the page and not the picture?

When I try viewing the page I cannot see it… What am I doing wrong?

I have the same problem as one person. I can only use this module with admin, authenticated users, it doesn’t show up. I am using drupal 5.5

I have to say, it’s neat and quick. I was looking at node image Module and that was very interesting. I was able to set that up with permissions, and also enable or disable it per content type. But in the end that did not show a tab which was what the instructions said.

I would have to say if you could some how merge these two modules Image Picker and Node Image You would have the perfect image module.

Great work by the way. I’m using it in limited capacity as admin only.

Antonio

same problem: bkgd image showing up in image picker admin area. completely ugly and completely no solution! God help us all!

..same problem! only admin sees the module…

I got stuck on this too, and then I did the obvious thing…read the readme.txt notably:

2. Enabling imagepicker
Only users who have the right to use Full HTML filter will be able to use imagepicker. This is done because Imagepicker uses some HTML, which will be stipped out if user will not use this filter. Users, who has the right to use Full HTML filter will be able to use Imagepicker instantly after installation. If you want to enable Imagepicker module for other users, you will have to
reconfigure filters.

I agree with Antonio. My needs still seem unmet: images as nodes for convenient gallery creation, with integration into a WYSIWYG editor so that users can choose from these images (not crudely through folders on the server) to embed wherever they want on the page.

I can not get any other user but user 1 to use the module.

It seems like the function that checks if a user has full html right fails. It always returns true on user 1, but fails, on my site, with every other user, even if they have admin rights.

nice one – was looking for a good image upload / insert module
and this one is the closest I could find

2 questions / issues however :

- is it possible to disable the imagepicker for certain content types ?
- can you collapse the imagepicker block ?

Any chance of updating this to support Drupal 6? Or will it work out of the box? I’m pretty new to Drupal so I’m not sure.

I also had problems with the background showing up in the content area. Spent ages trying to change the css.

Eventually I came up with this workaround:

In the imagepicker.tpl.php file I put a div around the content and styled it using an internal stylesheet. Works fine.

I’m having trouble getting Drupal to upload a file. I realize this is some drupal config problem but does this problem look familiar to you. I get this error in Durpal when I try to upload an image:

Unable to create a directory structure for your images.

Thanks,

Rob

Unfortunately ImagePicker doesn’t work with tinymce

Any plans to update this for Drupal 6?

As Mark Macdonald, I am waiting for the module to be ported into Drupal 6. I have been trying to do that in last 4 days, without good progress Maybe I need to take a formal training about PHP scripting.

Unfortunately NOT compatible with 6.2 version. Is ther any way to fix this???

Hi,

Thank you for this great module, I tried it and I find it very good.

I will wait for D6 to compare with imagefield when it will come out (if it come out one day ). This module would be perfect with a possibility of mass image upload (without zipping before). A kind of integration with swfupload or other…

Congratulation for the author for this excellent work !

It would be cool to be able to choose between inserting an HTML-tag, or an img_assist bracket-tag, since the latter one is much nicer to use if you are using wiki-syntax rather than a WYSIWYG editor.

Any plans to publish this module on the Drupal website as a project?
