Re: Image management ideas

Hi, thanks for the reply. I have navigate to the Demo of the Adverageous module and I am stunned: is it written using ajax? (ques so). Your module looks very nice. In the demo I can see that chose of the folder does not enforce roundtrip to the server with reloading the page which is very annoying when you have work with lots of directories. So far I am turned to make my users able to upload images and insert them into text in fckeditor - it is a normal feature of fckeditor but for some reason it didn't work in my installation. Now I know I have a bug that I have to repair.

Take care.

Re: Image management ideas

The oringal "Advergeous Access Manager" was released for DNN 1.x as "DNN Explorer".

The built in DNN file manager was based off the module, which was donated to the core for DNN 3.x.

"Adverageous Access Manager" was re-written quite a bit from the original module, with the same base idea:  Provide a functional user and role based file sharing system.

The original module had alot of "Ajax-like" functionality, done with lots and lots of clien-side javascript.  Limiting postbacks to the server is something I have spent alot of focus on, even years before the term "Ajax" came about.

I have had customers of the previous module use it in situations where there were 1000's of folders.  Postbacks only occured to "grab" a certain # of folder levels, based on a per-user setting.  Ajax makes all this much nicer, and easier to understand for the end user.  I no longer need this X# folder-levels setting, and it is now completely load-on-demand.

Glad you like the module, and thank you again everyone for all the ideas/input on the coming update.

Sorry I'm late to the party!

I am really lookiing forward to being able to manage images and resize them on upload using this module. It's one of the biggest things missing from anyting available today.

I think the ability to select if the image is xx-small, x-small, small etc. would work out great, if it were possible for the host to set the size of each of those it would be even better.

Giving host accounts ultimate control will be very important.

wooops.. I did space that post out for better readability but it seems to have got squashed up.

 

Yes, I'll have to look into either fixing default text-appearance with this forum, or another forum. 

This is probably related to the paragraphs in your css. Somewhere either in your skin or in your module css something is saying p{margin:0;} or something like that.

I add a p{margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:5px;} to all my skin files.
