Image Editor.

We are looking at the following scenario:

A Kentico website will feature ASPX templates for a custom checkout process. This checkout process is behind a login and will not be available for anonymous users.

One of the steps in the checkout process contains a file upload for uploading images. Once the image has been uploaded, the logged in user should be able to edit this image; resize, crop, etc. The functionality that is also available in the Kentico CMS itself.

Is there any way to integrate this image editor into a template outside of the CMSDesk? I've noticed the CMSFormControls/LiveSelectors/ImageEditor.aspx (and .cs) file; will those be of any help or are we looking at 3rd party components here?
Seeing how it's already available in the CMS itself, and the functionality will be behind a login, it would be most convenient to use Kentico's functionality.

RE:Image Editor.

Hello,

It is possible to use built-in image editor for editing images which you need users to enable to do on the live site I suppose. In that case, you will need to create your custom web part because no web parts provide such functionality out-of-the-box. For details, please take a look at Developer's Guide - Developing web parts.

You can take Contribution list web part as an example - it enables users to manage documents directly on the live site. Its source code is in ~\CMSWebParts\UserContributions\ContributionList.ascx.cs file.

Best regards,
Filip Ligac

Hello, Well, there is a special module in Kentico which enables you to integrate 3rd party applications with Kentico - it is Integration bus. You can find more details about configuration and setup in Integration Guide. Best regards, Filip Ligac
