Thanks a lot for your reply.  This is the result:

The error was probably because I had never before created a new field with the fieldtyp CroppableImage3. Because I already had some images fields, I have only changed the input field type of the existing fields and not created a new one. After I had created a test field with the fieldtyp CroppableImage3, the other fields now work as desired.

@horst Thanks! It's working now.  I'm new to PW so the permissions thing being the problem evaded me.

If you want to give the user the possibility to choose from different formats for one single place, you need a special setup with e.g. pagetable or the ProFields Repeater Matrix wrapped around the image field.

Hi Horst,

I've wrapped a repeater around my image and bullet selection (The user can thus choose which cropping to use). It works when I upload an image for the first time, it creates 4 standard croppings (panorama, portrait, etc.). However, if I make a custom cropping it doesn't save it. I'd actually want the custom cropping to overwrite other files, but that doesn't work either. 

Is there a known issue between croppable image 3 and repeaters? Should i use ProFields Repeater Matrix (haven't tried it so far). Pagetable is also a possibility, but not as intuitive and fast as a repeater.

Thanks for your help!

I'm not aware of any issues with repeaters or repeater-matrix. (Repeater-Matrix would do no change, I believe, as it somehow extends repeater)

Custom cropping is made for which user / role. Does he have the right permission added to his role?

I tested even without the repeater and I get similar errors. So I think we can leave the repeaters out of it. Permissions are OK.

I tried to recreate the issue (can't tell yet exactly when it works and when not). 

I created 4 cropping-presets. These create the 4 croppings automatically. So far ok. When the user (whichever) creates a custom cropping, the new cropping doesn't overwrite the old one. Or I should rather say, sometimes it does, but most of the times it doesn't.

Workaround is to delete the generated croppings in the "variations" window prior to creating a custom one. This works, but it's not a nice solution for the end user.

Am I the first one reporting this bug?

Thanks.

I wouldn't consider it a bug of the croppable image module, as this seems to be only at your server (setup).

Please provide the exact reproducable steps you have done, incl. installing and configuring the module. (You may try this by yourself in a test account, and if this behaves as you described, tell us the steps here, so that we will be able to reproduce it.)

What does "Permisions ar OK" mean, exactly?

Or directly use the markup srcset module from @tpr and only pass the master to it!

Just tried this and it works:

<img <?php echo $page->portfolio_images->first()->getCrop('portfolio-item')->srcset('portfolio-item'); ?> class="lazyload" alt="">

This was the first time I added CroppableImage to a project and it seems great. Some UI facelift here and there could be beneficial though

@tpr: Hah, - you are more than welcome to contribute in this regard, Mr. AOS!

Could it be that for square image crops, only width to add, and use that for the height too?

What is the intention of the question? Lesser to write? Or something other?

[tpr]

Yes, less to write.

[horst]

I add it to the ToDo, but may take some time to get done.

Hi Horst, thanks for a great module.

Does it need imagick to be installed?

I am getting black screens when I try a crop.

 

[horst]

No, it should work with whatever PW accepts via installed ImageRenderingEngine-Modules.

Your Image is black. How work this image out with api rendered image variations? What is the source image type(s)? Is it with all images, regardless of type / format?

HI,

Has anyone encountered quality issues with the croppable module? 

I know I'm very picky when it comes to image quality, but I'm getting pretty bad results and I'm wondering what i can do about it. I've tried no sharpening, sharpening soft, quality 90 and 80, but the images still look "pixelated", specially in the diagonals. 

See screenshot attached. Original left, cropping on the right.

[horst]

CroppableImages uses the core images rendering engines. So there is no special "Croppable image rendering".

Your original image left is very blurry, and the one on the right site is much to much sharpened. Please try a variation with sharpening soft or none.

Yes, I'm aware of that. That's my issue. That's what I get with sharpening set on SOFT. 

Are the core rendering engines just not that good?

Hi, does anyone know if this works with @kongondo's Media Manager? 

Edit: having just bought the media manager, pretty sure there's no clear way to make them play nice together.

Based on my experiences with

• several thousand images of mine,
• several thousand images of my customers
• and many image variations from many sites around the world (from the showcase directory),

I can say: The core rendering engines seem to do a pretty good job ! 

But that are just my experiences.

Just upgraded to PW 3.043 dev and getCrop() doesn't seem to work (returns NULL). Downgraded to 3.042 and no issues.

I've downloaded a fresh copy of both PW versions so 3.043 should contain Ryan's fix too.

Anyone having the same issue?

[horst]

I have upgraded a site yesterday too. Here everything is working as expected. With both, existing and new created images.

(PW 3.0.39 to 3.0.43)

[tpr]

I was hoping the opposite  Not sure what's going on here.

[joey102030]

I'm not sure if this is the intended functionality: 

When I click to edit a crop under 'predefined Crops', the overlaid 'marquee' always reverts to the far top left of the image, even when I move it around and click 'Crop and go'.

I know the crop has saved correctly because I can hover the button and see a thumbnail appear.

[horst]

This is not intended, but its previous state is only saved for jpegs, not for png or gif formats.
