Hey there!
I’m trying to use MODx Revolution for a website for the first time and I want the client to be able to easily upload images from his harddrive for a resource (product). Is this possible? If I use template variable -> image you get to see the MODx browser with all the folders (assets/components etc..) and this isn’t very convenient in terms of usability. The client, being a n00b, would mess it up.
I want him to select a file from his computer, click upload, then if possible let him crop it with jCrop (jquery) in the correct ratio, automatically resize it to the correct size (large + thumb) and save it in the correct folder.
I know how to create this with a php form and gd or imagemagick, but that is a lot of work and I was hoping that MODx could simplify this in just a few steps.
Thank in advance!
I added an image to clearify the above. What you see is a product (a building) with a large image and 4 thumbnails which will have some sort of lightbox function to enlarge them.. I want the client to be able to easily upload these 5 images from the manager without any complexity

If you’re feeling adventurous you could make some custom TVs but the above is probably easier.
Thanks for your reply, that would fix the browser part yes, by assigning a single folder to the user.. But ideally I would like them to just get an upload-field and not worry about where it will be saved. The image also has to be cropped and resized into the right dimensions and a thumbnail has to be created
