We have implemented a custome image uploader tool with our custom modules. However, I want to use it with the jrblog module as well. However, the module uses the jrcore files. How can I replace the image uploader with my own code without using the form designer? I want to make sure it doesn't break when I update jrblog.

The jrBlog uses the core image uploader, its not designed to be swap-out-able. It might be possible, but its not something we've done so don't have steps to explain it. I suspect it wont be possible without creating your own BLOG module instead.

Ok. Thanks. This is a bigger problem for other places where the core image uploaded is used though. We'll figure it out I guess.

The uploader is pretty "core" in Jamroom and is not designed to be replaced, so that may be tricky.

Sorry!

It's fine. We will have to create our own blog or branch the existing one. Unfortunately, we needed something that allowed users to crop and resize images. There were too many users that were uploading images that were the wrong size or aspect ratio. Users are getting used to most modern sites giving them the ability to edit their photo in place. We needed to implement something. You might want to consider updating it at the core level.

Our Image Galleries module offers full editing capabilities via Adobe cloud, but for avatar type images (users, audio, etc.) I think it's best to deal with those with image filters and cropping - that way you don't have to bother your users and you can display the image however you wish.
