Hi there -

I have been developing a ASP.NET control that allows the developer to support PNG Transparencies in IE - now I appreciate that this may well be resolved in future IE versions - but I thought I should apprach the DNN Image team first before i do anything...

I have managed to easily port my control into a DNN environment, and it sort of works - however this is where i sort of lose it a little :

I cannot decide on the best course of action in terms of progressing this forwards - ideally i would love to add this functionality into the image object so that it supports PNG - however the source code i download doesn't include the parts like how the file system works. 

Currrently my projects works (in that if i feed it a URL to a PNG file it displays it in all it's alpha transparency) but i would ideally love it to work in the same method as the Image Module.

Is the full source available?

Should I try and patch my PNG Support into this source?

or do i need to do something different?

your advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

thanks.

I know this isn't the answer you're looking for, but the only way to do that right now is to modify the Image module. However, I do have a better solution for you. I am working on an image provider that will allow you to use custom controls to render/manage images. In theory, this would be used in various parts of DNN, but initially, the goal is to use it for the Image module.

If you have the source code that provides the additional PNG support, feel free to send it to any of the project team members and we will discuss it internally to see if and how it makes sense in the big picture of the Image module.

We have a lot of changes coming up, but are always open to new ideas and/or code snippets.

Oh, and to answer your question: yes, the full source is available. Download the source package, rename the .resources file to .zip, and extract that.

Thanks for your response - I shall send the code across as soon as I can - I have no problem with trying to pop it into the existing Image control - now that I have the source code I shall give it a go - i'll send it to someone on the project team anyway.

 

Sorry it took so long to reply but I've been stuck with other things :)

Feel free to send it to me if/when you have a chance. I am currently working on upgrades to the module now, so I could incorporate this while I'm in there
