Hi,
I've posted a collection of handy tags that I made for a recent
project.
The most interesting is one that can generate images of any
resolution or compression quality on the fly from an image in a
magnolia content node. This is very useful for thumbnails etc. since
it means that users only have to upload one high quality version of
an image and your JSP templates can use it in any different sizes you
want. The tag includes a servlet which regenerates the images on the
fly and caches them, so it's very fast.
The collection also includes a couple of tags which are slightly
modified versions of the official Magnolia tags : PageIterator and
NodeInfo.
PageIterator allows you to iterate through the child pages of any
page - unlike the magnolia version this tag can use any page as the
root of the iteration (not just the current page) you can pass it a
reference to the root page, or an absolute or relative path. Each
time through the iteration is can set a context variable to a
reference to the currently iterated page, and another context
variable to a map of all the nodeData on the page. Another bonus is
that this version runs in Magnolia 2.1.5 (and I think in 2.1.3 too -
though not sure).
NodeInfo is pretty much the same as the magnolia SetNode tag, except
that it's not limited to the current content node - you can refer to
any node using a path or by a direct reference.
The website for the tags at the moment is http://www.noodlesource.org/
noodleglue/magtags.html
Let me know what you think,
