collective.atimage.transformmenu 1.2.2

'Transforms' menu in Image and News Item to perform image transformations

Introduction

Replaces the “Transform” tab in ATImage with a corresponding “Transform” menu in the “View” tab. The menu is available also for ATNewsItem.

Features

• Menu available for Image and News Item

• Performs image transformations with AJAX to prevent reloading the page

• Degrades gracefully in non-JavaScript browsers

• i18n support by using atcontentypes and plone i18n domains.

• Tested in Plone 3.3.5 and Plone 4.0

Installation

• Add collective.atimage.transformmenu to the list of eggs to install, e.g.:

  [buildout]
  ...
  eggs =
      ...
      collective.atimage.transformmenu

• Tell the plone.recipe.zope2instance recipe to install a ZCML slug:

  [instance]
  recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance
  ...
  zcml =
      collective.atimage.transformmenu

• Re-run buildout, e.g. with:

  $ ./bin/buildout

You can skip the ZCML slug if you are using Plone 3.3 or if you are going to explicitly include the package from another package’s configure.zcml file.
