Photocrop is a configurable frontend image uploader and resizing/ cropping/ editing tool. It enables users to upload image onto a website, transparently reduces the image's size to a preconfigured limit, and finally allows for online editing of the uploaded image. Photocrop can be accessed by users who are logged into the site's manager.

hi alik,

nice, thanks for sharing!

is there a way to configure the thumbnails (size & format)?
...and apparently it is possible to customize the thumbnail/image/link/lightbox output in the frontend, right?

cheers, j

2 Sharkbait:
Sizes of images/thumbnails are controlled by three parameters -- MAX_SQUARE, MAX_WIDTH, and MAX_HEIGHT -- that you can set in configuration file for Photocrop. Precedence/priority of these parameters is described in the article ("Resizing policy" section). There are two sets of such parameters: IMAGE_MAX_... and THUMB_MAX_... that control images and thumbnails,respectively, within editor (Photocrop). How images/thumbnails are displayed on the actual frontend site -- it's completely up to you. On my demo site I am also using Photocrop's internal thumbnailer/imager for displaying photos on the public frontend.

Photocrop + Maxigallery example is working on the demo site at http://dev.setpro.pl/ -- I have built this example with no changes to Photocrop's core code. However, the use of such scenario in multi-gallery environment requires Photocrop's core to be slightly adjusted -- particularly its statically-built configuration. This task is on my todo-list -- new release will smoothly work with many instances of Maxigallery.
