Image column type - Githubissues

jefflunt commented 12 years ago

Create a new column type for images. Current thinking:

Carrierwave-backed column, which just contains a path to the image file that has been resized to a given maximum size (maybe 1500x1500).
Thumbnail size that crops to a small square image (probably small like 75x75 or 50x50)
When you click on an image column an overlay shows a large-size version (up to 1500x1500)

This may also be a simple option: https://github.com/mockenoff/HTML5-AJAX-File-Uploader

Rather than go crazy with the HTML image uploader stuff right out of the gate, I'm going to focus on just getting uploads working. I think this tips the balance in favor of migrating this app to AWS, because I'd like to use carrierwave for uploads, back it by S3, and get some better scaling and performance while I'm at it. This is going to require quite a lot of tweaking in the app including: moving to capistrano for deployment, setting up S3 buckets, adding the carrierwave gem and functionality, and configuring unicorn as part of the app. There will be a lot of commits yet to come on this feature.

Update: The migration to AWS is complete. The commits to follow are just about adding image upload support.
