This is a maintenance release to fix a few issues, most notably
- Front-end uploading failing when the editor group is assigned to a component
- An 'All' option has been added to the File Browser pagination list
- TinyMCE updated to 3.3.9.2
Upgrading from previous versions is done with a standard install. Please see the Installation Instructions
- Details
The Captions plugin has been updated fixing issues with the caption container and source image alignment, and where some parameter defaults are not applied in the Caption dialog.
UPDATE : A small but significant error in 1.5.6 requires a new update to 1.5.6.1
- Details
The Image Manager Extended has been updated to fix some issues introduced with the change to the WideImage library added in 1.5.6. PHPThumb is used by default, with PHP5 issues in this library fixed, but an option exists to use WideImage if necessary.
In addition to this, errors caused by insufficient PHP memory when creating preview images or thumbnail images in the browser list have been addressed. A preview image or thumbnail image should always load regardless of whether a cache thumbnail could be created or not.
UPDATE
1.5.7.2 has been released which improves the creation / display of list and preview thumbnails. The JCE Utilities option / label in the Popup tab has also been replaced with JCE MediaBox, and the Browser List pagination selection set to 'all' by default (this option will be globally set for all relevant plugins in the next JCE Editor update).
UPDATE
1.5.7.3 has been released to fix a small bug that prevented thumbnails being shown on some systems.
- Details
The Image Manager Extended and Captions plugins have been updated to 1.5.6 and 1.5.5 respectively.
Image Manager Extend
The PHPThumb Library has been replaced by WideImage. PHPThumb development seems to have stalled and some deprecated functions in the code are causing warnings in PHP5. Some conflicts within the code, specifically with the Image Magick functions may be causing issues for some users.
PHP5 is required for this version of the Image Manager Extended. If your servers is not running PHP5 I suggest you have a chat with your hosting company or find a new one.
Image processing functions like resize, rotate and thumbnailing require a lot of memory depending on the pixel size of the image. The absolute minimum is 32MB, which may allow processing of images up to 800 x 600 pixels, but 64MB is recommended and the ideal amount is 128MB and above, especially if you regularly upload large images. Again, speak to you host about increasing the PHP memory_limit value.
Captions
This release changes how captions are created; the caption container and caption text box are now built using span elements instead of div elements, the main reason for this being that div elements cannot be placed inside of paragraphs (the editor will move them out if they are) and this will cause validation issues for your site.
Existing captions can be converted by re-editing them -
- open the article,
- click on the image that contains the caption,
- open the caption dialog and click update
