Feature Request: Widget

[johnny-longneck]

First of all, thanks for this module. It was wonderful when turning category images into responsive images with srcset and sizes attributes.

One thing that I would love to see is the feature to use it outside of templates, but as widget in the admin section.

Hi @johnny-longneck,

I am glad you are using the module. Regarding your suggestion, could you please elaborate your idea? I do not quite undestand how this would work.

If you create a custom widget, you can also use the 'resizerHelper' inside the template of your widget. Besides that, if you need to use the resizer somewhere else, you could inject the helper in any class comtructor as done here:

• https://github.com/staempfli/magento2-module-image-resizer/blob/master/Plugin/View/Layout/Generator/Block.php#L27

Would that work for you?

Thanks for your reply. Sorry for bad description. What I am going to achieve is what I did with template images: Have one image being output in several sizes. Speaking of <picture> <source ...></source> <source ...></source> <!-- fallback image --> <img src="image.png" /> </picture>

As far as I know, I cannot use your plugin on CMS Static Blocks for example. Writing an own widget which implements your solution is an idea.

I can try that.

Hi @johnny-longneck It has been a long time. Sure that a widget would be a good solution to implement that. Did you progress on that?

[johnny-longneck]

Unfortunatly no. I was super busy fixing bug after bug after bug for severeal M2 shops. But jeah I should give it a try.

Hi @johnny-longneck

I was yesterday thinking about that and I think this feature should not belong to that module but to be implemented on a project level. In my opinion, a widget is project specific and it makes more sense to create that widget directly on the project. In fact that would be quite easy to accomplish using 2 modules:

• This one: magento2-module-image-resizer
• magento2-module-widget-extra-field

In your project your will need the following:

composer.json

composer require "staempfli/magento2-module-image-resizer":"~1.0"
composer require "staempfli/magento2-module-widget-extra-fields":"~1.0"

Vendor/Package/etc/widget.xml

<widget id="<widget_id>" class="Vendor\Module\Block\Widget\<Your_Widget>" >
    <label translate="true">Widget Image With Resize</label>
    <description>Widget Description</description>
    <parameters>
        <parameter name="image" xsi:type="block" visible="true" sort_order="10" required="true">
            <label translate="true">Image</label>
            <block class="Staempfli\WidgetExtraFields\Block\Adminhtml\ImageField"/>
        </parameter>
           <parameter name="width" xsi:type="text" visible="true" required="true" sort_order="20">
                <label translate="true">Width</label>
            </parameter>
           <parameter name="height" xsi:type="text" visible="true" required="true" sort_order="30">
                <label translate="true">height</label>
            </parameter>
    </parameters>
</widget>

Vendor\Module\Block\Widget\<Your_Widget>

protected $_template = "Vendor_Module::widget/image-resize.phtml";

public function getImageUrl() : string
    {
        $image = $this->getData('image');
        if ($image) {
            return $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_MEDIA) . $image;
        }
        return '';
    }

view/frontend/templates/widget/image-resize.phtml

<?php $resizerHelper = $block->getImageResizerHelper(); ?>
<img class="cms-widget__image"
             src="<?php echo $resizerHelper->resizeAndGetUrl($block->getImageUrl(), $block->getData('width'), $block->getData('height')); ?>">

What do you think? Would that be a valid solution for you?
