Rotate images

I've created a gallery which works really well. But some of the images a user uploads are appearing upside down or it's rotating portrait to landscape. Is their a plugin or a way so that the user can rotate the image to the correct orientation without having to edit outside of MODX?

Not that I'm personally aware. You can use pthumb to rotate images before they're being rendered but obviously doing that would rotate all images.

Very interesting, I've been looking for an Extra that rotate the images to answer this question but can't find it.
I never had this problem with my clients, I think is not a common problem, may be you should explain how to rotate the images with the windows/mac images viewer before they upload it.

Other option might be play a little bit with the Gallery extra

https://modx.com/extras/package/gallery

It has many options and good things, try it and see if this Extra can help you to solve your problem.

Cheer mate.

That's what I've done as I think it's going to be easier than finding a work around.

I'm using Gallery. It doesn't need rotate every image just fix ones that are wrong. I use another CMS for another website and that allows you edit within the file manager, something similar would be great.

This probably won't help, but if insert the images in NewsPublisher, or TinymceWrapper, you can rotate them in the built-in image editor. I don't think this will permanently rotate the image in the file, but I could be wrong.

MoreGallery has a feature to automatically rotate images to the right orientation on upload, but I haven't tested it.

I am currently using elFinderWrapper 1.0 (not public yet) that does all you seek and much more.
The Extra is supposed to be a drop-in replacement for MODX browser.

It includes a powerful autoRotate plugin. And of course you can manually and permanently manipulate any image. (resize, crop, rotate, touchup etc)

Oh, there is a connection to pixlr editor for more enhanced off-the-chart edits.
