Image border option

[bwatford]

Is it possible to get a field to add a border to an image inside the image control popup where you resize or float the image? Would be much easier to do it from there without going into the source.

I can take a look. It will highly depend on how Invision implemented their custom image handling CKEditor plugin and whether there are any extension points.

So, I had a little time and this is something I'd like to see, so I did a little mockup using pre-existing CSS from Baldr.

The primary issue regarding feasibility is whether making the changes to the form (and the resulting JS processing thereof) can be done without directly modifying Invision-provided code, since those modifications would get overwritten with the routine patch cycle.

[Malkavian Grin]

Mmm, I hadn't thought about that. You don't want to be adding this stuff in with every patch.

What if that functionality was added via a toolbar button? The only issue is whether the toolbar buttons (and js) are also just Invision plugins, in which that wouldn't work cause they'd just be overwrote.

If those ideas don't work, what about adding it as a control+right-click option on the menu?

Writing a replacement for their pre-built plugin is possible, but not high on my to-do list 🙂 The context menus are likewise driven off plugins, so... Yeah.

[Malkavian Grin]

That's fair. We appreciate you looking into it!

They have a hook and template in place, but only for border width, not color or radius. 😞

Ah well. Baby-steps, yeah? 😉

After some thought, I think the right approach is to incorporate these asks under the Floating Block feature; since it was essentially just a div with one attribute wrapped around arbitrary content, it should be easy enough to add other attributes as well.
