[web2py] How to allow Image Upload and Border Selection preview before saving to permanent table

2012-03-27 Thread mwk
Hi Massimo and All,

I want a user to be able to upload an image and choose a border to
surround it from a choice of images I have in the database.  I want
them to be able to play around and see what looks best to them before
saving their final border choice and uploaded image to the database.
I don't know how to do this.  Can someone please provide some sample
code that will get me going?

Thanks a bunch

Thanks Bruno,
The css sounds like a good choice and I use that for final display,
trick is I don't know how to get a preview/play around mode first.

Do I need to have one db.tablename for the image preview upload and
then another db.tablename for the final saved version?

Currently I have one db.table for storing the upload image and border
choice id, but i dont know how to get it so they can preview and play
around with borders first before saving it off.

I'm looking at an image preview uploader jquery plugin but I don't
know how to configure it on web2py.  It calls for some server settings
and only shows php sample
Would you mind taking a look and letting me know how to configure it
if you get a chance?

Thanks a ton.

 There are many ways of doing that, one option is to overlay the image with
 the border images using CSS background clipping, so you can save the file
 and the ID of the border, so when you show this in view you choose the
 border dynamically.

 If you want to save the image with border on disk then you have to take a
 look at the PIL documentation.

 Another option is aviary APIhttp://www.aviary.com/web

[web2py] fit image to shape

2012-03-06 Thread mwk
I would like to have an uploaded image displayed inside a specific
shape.  For instance, I would like to have an uploaded image fill a
circle or fill an octagon shape, or other shape.  How can I accomplish
that with We2py?

Thanks
Mark
