The extension integrates Jcrop with CiviCRM. https://github.com/mlutfy/ca.bidon.imagecrop
It allows to crop and scale image fields in CiviCRM. For now, it works only with the Contact "image_URL" field in contact records view/edit and profile view/edit.
More information about Jcrop can be found here: http://deepliquid.com/content/Jcrop_Download.html
Upload an image to a contact record, then click on the image to open a popup that allows you to crop the image: http://www.bidon.ca/files/civicrm-imagecrop-example.jpg
- Enable this extension in CiviCRM (Administer > System > Extensions)
- Jcrop is bundled in this extension, to avoid having to download separately.
When cropping, the extension sends an ajax request to the server with the contact ID and a set of coordinates for the cropping.
A new image is saved in a "imagecrop" subdirectory of customFileUploadDir (ex: files/civicrm/custom/imagecrop). The directory is created if necessary.
The original image is always kept, to reduce the risks in case of mistake. The image is swapped when viewing the contact record (in hook_civicrm_pageRun). CiviCRM doesn't have a "load" hook for contacts (similar to node_load in Drupal), so at some point, we may alter the image_URL value in the database, and assume that we can rollback to the original by removing "imagecrop" from the URL.
(it may be cleaner to keep a separate SQL table with the "original" file name, but that means adding a lot of code, so will only do it if necessary)
