Hello the title is just to scared you guys
, but indeed I have some concerns about this plug-in and a few suggestion, stay tuned.
Problem number 1: Image names
I have been notice that the images uploaded with this field they maintain the original name, what happens when I upload another image with the same name?
Problem number 2: Big lists
Imagine that I upload 100 image to then if you check the SELECT Drop Down the list in pretty extended.
Problem number 3: Folders
Could be nice for us to create folder via item submission, or allow the client to select from the sub-folder of the main folder.
Also, the only way to create folders in flexi is via FTP, so the MEDIA MANAGER of flexi could give us a little help in that matter.
Problem number 4: Thumbnails
With 100 images in a folder, my client is uploading the same image over an over again because he forgot the original name of the first image. Something like thumbnails could help
Problem number 5: Public front end submission
I have been struggling with this as you can see on this link,
www.designemportugal.com/index.php?Itemid=173
bellow the description you can upload 4 images. As you notice I have removed the following data: allowed extension, alt, name, select drop-down, etc. I have only left the Browse button available.
Problem number 6: IE XXS Attack
I don't know why, but if you try to upload an image bigger that the allowed size it is giving me a JOOMLA notification of someone trying to attack the web site.
I think if the image is bigger than the Allowed size then it should be resized to the biggest format and then resized to medium and smaller.
The important is to allow the submission.
Problem number 7: Re-resize the images
Imagine that I have 100 images already uploaded to the website, and suddenly the client wants to change the size of the images, what I am thinking is that I would go to the image field, change the size, and hope that magically all image of the website that uses that Field would be changed
Problem number 8: Rotate images
Already have been asked as a feature request
Problem number 9: Multiple Upload
Files and text fields allow us to choose the MULTIPLE TIMES, and set the maximum number of times. Please add this to this field, I am trying to build Image galleries in Flexi, but I have to add manually each Image field. if you can add this than I can make image galleries in flexy, and the client can add as many images has he wants.
Problem number 10: Image to RSS
It migth be only me, or I am Wrong, but is this field RSS Standard? I want to use it will mailchimp RSS integration but I have been struggling with this. If it is not standard it does not work.
Problem number 11: Group Images
If I have 6 images to show in this item, instead of present them one by one in the website, cold be cool to only show one and the grouped in the modal gallery.
Guys, above all remember I am posting this because I love Flexy and I want to help improving it. Don't hate me
I have been wanting to post this for a long time, i have been gathering all the problem we have been founding and all the features request. Hope I don't forgot anything.
