ImageFlow, JavaScript, TYPO3 von Finn Rudolph

Oliver Tempel has implemented ImageFlow 1.1 in a TYPO3 Extension. You can grab yourself a copy of the extension called Flow Image Gallery (the Extension Key is flowgallery) from the Extension Repository.

As that extension is based on the latest ImageFlow version it is only free for non-commercial use. If you want to use it in a commercial project please purchase a ImageFlow TYPO3 License. With that license you will support the programmer of the TYPO3 Extension!

ImageFlow, JavaScript, CSS von Finn Rudolph

There is a new ImageFlow version featuring the aspectRatio option many people wanted. Now the proportions of the ImageFlow container are freely adjustable! Check the Proportion Examples to get an idea what one can do with that. I also added some more options that allow you to manipulate various image relations.

Another feature in this version is a small CSS tweak for the IE7. It enables high-quality bicubic image resampling for the resized images within the ImageFlow container resulting in a huge image quality improvement:



Before: ImageFlow 1.0.3 - IE7 default image resampling


After: ImageFlow 1.1 - IE7 bicubic image resampling


If you are interested in the tweak I highly recommend you the article On UI Quality (The Little Things): Client-side Image Resizing of the Flickr Developer Scott Schiller. But there is also a downside - the CSS does not validate anymore... If you can't life with that simply delete line 18 of the imageflow.css and the IE7 will fall back to its default image resampling.
