New Podcast

Posted Tuesday, January 31 at 3:28 pm
  Thomas Turnbull (tom_o_t on drupal.org) and Alan Palazzolo (zzolo on drupal.org) join Mike Anello to talk about their new book from O’Reilly Media, Mapping with Drupal. Mike’s usual co-hosts, Andrew and Ryan, were both unable to participate in the podcast, leaving Thomas and Alan subject to Mike’s long-winded (but extremely interesting by some accounts) questions.

Testimonial

On March 11th I attended the first DrupalEasy Workshop in Orlando, Florida. I'm an experienced web developer who has recently picked up Drupal as a tool for helping to build high quality content-driven websites. Mike and Ryan were excellent teachers - they gave a thorough overview of a complex topic in a short space of time, and provided plenty of resources for us to continue learning. The workshop is essential for anyone who has previously configured a basic Drupal site and wishes to take their skills to an advanced level. I would not hesitate to recommend DrupalEasy.com training and hope to attend more workshops in the future.

Who are we?

Beware of Safari When Using the Image Resize Filter

Image Resize Filter is an fantastic tool for giving content administrators the ability to place and resize images within rich-text editor-enabled fields. The genius behind this module is that it is actually a Drupal input filter that resizes images on the fly based on what the user does in the rich-text editor.

Keep in mind that it isn't just resizing the image for display, it is actually creating a new imagecache preset and saving a resized copy of the image for display. If that wasn't cool enough, it can also resize images from other sites and save the resized copy the same way. For content admins who require exacting control of their image placements and sizes, this is super.

Anyway, enough gushing - the point of this tip is that things aren't so rosy when the content administrator is using Safari as their browser. Safari has some known issues with rich-text editors in general that make it impossible to select the image within the rich-text editor to resize it.

So, the bottom line is this; if you want to use the Image Resize Filter, don't use Safari.

What Safari version?

Is this a problem with Safari 3, 3.1 or 4?

Damien, Personally, I saw it

Damien,

Personally, I saw it with Safari 4, but in my research on the subject, I found that Safari's support for rich-text editors, in general, is a bit buggy.
