Gallery-solution with client-side resize?

I’ve been looking for a simple MODx gallery solution with client-side resize before upload. There should not be anything to install on the client-side, apart from Java or Flash.

I haven’t been able to find any solutions for MODx, am I not looking hard enough?

The reasons for using client-side resize instead of server-side resize are:

• Multi megapixel images are too big to resize with PHP (memory constraints).
• Reduce upload time
• I can’t expect my users to do the resize before the upload themselves

I’m considering creating a solution using Jumploader, it is the best solution I’ve been able to find. But if I could find something open source I would prefer that.
AFAIK it has to be a Java applet or Flash 10 i you want to resize client-side before upload. And the Flash solutions I’ve found doesn’t seem mature, and since I’m not a Flash or Java developer, it has to be pretty stable.

Any thoughts on this?

Hi Kleist,

i think AdvAlbum does "client-side resizing of the images prior to uploading" -> http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,33141.0.html (seems the download-link has been removed though)

module homepage is here (german): http://wiki.012h.de/doku.php?id=de:012h_modx_erweiterungen

yes you can

Thanks, AdvAlbum looks good

I found a more recent forum post here: http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,34029.0.html (version 0.1)
And I prefer the english part of the wiki instead of the german->english translation... http://wiki.012h.de/doku.php?id=en:012h_modx_addons

I’ve taken a look at the code, it’s nice and clean!

Now I’ll try to install it on a test site and see how it goes...
