Hi everyone,
I'd like to propose to add an Image macro that would do the following:
* display a border
* display a caption (if it's defined by the user)
* display a link to see the image full screen
* define default sizes and scale it to the default one but allow specifying other sizes
Basically the idea is to be able to easily display images as on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flora_and_fauna_of_Orissa
See also http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-7602
The idea is that we would use it on xwiki.org but I also think it makes it nicer for
people who wish to display images in their wikis.
WDYT?
Thanks

+1. Very useful indeed. Images look a lot better with a border and a
caption.

Not every one will like to have a border !
* display a caption (if it's defined by the user)
Nice to have, but some wants the caption over, some want it aside, and some
like it under.
* display a link to see the image full screen
Which link ? a link to the attachement ? Would not a lightbox be better ?
but some may not like it either.
* define default sizes and scale it to the default one
but allow
specifying other sizes
What would be the default size ?

Should we imitate wikipedia ?
Well, I completely understand there is a need, and I have wear my evil suit
for the above remarks. I would like to put your attention to the fact that
there is plenty of solutions to fit the need. I think having a macro to
produce all these functionalities is a must have, but we need it fully CSS
customizable. Moreover, a simple link to see the image in actual pixel size
does not provide a good experience to the reader, leaving the current page,
using back button, and so on. If we want to provide something useful in
most case, it should also allow a lightbox display solution.
The question is then, do we need a single macro with many options, or
choice of macro from which you may choose your preferred display solution ?
Do you intend to package your macro by default or put it as an extension ?
The idea is that we would use it on xwiki.org but I also think it makes
it nicer for people who wish to display images in their wikis.

See the images on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flora_and_fauna_of_Orissa
To be defined.
On this topic yes since it's a good idea.

You don't have to use this macro… I'm not proposing to remove the wiki syntax for
images… :)
In addition this would be the default and we can imagine a border="true|false"
param.

One macro with parameters.

By default in XE I think since I can see this macro as very useful for users. But this
choice can be made later on.
