On my website, I have an area where a user can create a team profile page. On the top of this page, is a header area that is 960px width x 170px height. This header, I would like to make a customizable area (like a user WYSIWYG) for the users. They must add an image, but I would like for them to be able to size this image and place it wherever they desire. They can also put text at whatever size and location in this header they want, if their image does not take up the whole header.
Does anybody know if this is possible?
Thanks!
Yep, it's possible, but You will need to do some custom work for that kind of module. It is simple, but still i don't think You will find some free versions on JED

I have a question and i am confused what strategy i should choose to solve this.
Here is the description.
I have a gallery which is managed on user authentication.
Next I have basically a simple form which saves quotes into database.
Selecting an image from gallery it is opened in a canvas. I am using Adobe Creative SDK.
Here is the demonstration image.
Next i have to select(copy) text from database to add(paste) in text field but i have no idea how to do it.
This is the task i have to do for a client. I have never seen a similar example. This is seems unique. Please provide some suggestion on doing it.
Adobe Creative SDK's editor will not allow you to pre-populate text on an image so it's out of the question for this task. You could probably find a way to overlay text on top of the Adobe editor, but then the issue with saving the image rears its head.
If you don't need any of the other editing tools, you could simply create a canvas with the image, overlay the text and allow the user to choose the font, position the text, apply stamps, etc...
Once they're done, wire up a save button to post the field with the contents of canvas.toDataURL('image/png') and have something server-side to save it.
It will be more work than using someone else's widget, but the client will be in control of their own destiny (and have a working product which they wouldn't have before).
Keep it simple and build from there.
I've been checking into some issues with Facebook Like Box plugins on websites my company manages, and have seen different behavior in the past two days. Can anyone help to explain if this is more likely an issue with Facebook, or the target profile/page settings?
I'll focus on the more obvious one here.
When the 'Show Faces' option is disabled and no Data-height is explicitly specified for the plugin, the area to display the Stream activities is reduced to 0 and all that is displayed is a double horizontal line.
Working from the Developers.facebook demo page
(https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/)
1) Enter a valid facebook Page for the address
-- Defaults should display with width=292, height blank, and all other options checked.
2) un-check 'Show Faces'
-- Like Box shrinks to only display Header, and the Social Plugin footer.
3) Enter a Height value ( anything above 150 px should display some area of content and the vertical slider again, but with the Like Box total height restricted to the height entered)
(I wanted to post this to Facebook as a Bug report, but could not find the correct steps to do so.)
Facebook must have changed something. This only seems to be affecting the HTML5 implementation of this plugin. Some other sites which I maintain, which use the iframe implementation, do not seem to be affected.
I just added a fixed 'data-height' attribute to the 'fb-like'box' div of the HTML5 implementation of the plugin - seems to have done the job.
Looks like they have changed (or broke) the default value for height from "300px" (I think that is what it was) and replaced it with the 120px which leaves no room for the stream. If you add faces it ups the default value and leaves room for the stream.
If you change the height of the box to say 600px (depends on what you want) then even with faces off it will show the stream.
For example if you goto: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/
Then turn stream on and faces off (even on the default site of FB Dev) it will still hide the stream with no height specified. Then change the height to say 600px the stream will appear.
Feels like less of a bodge than the other method that Nathan mentioned (which I couldn't get to work anyway! :( LOL)
Hope this helps someone else. :)
I currently have a basic Fancy Box gallery (link calls larger image and title that is then displayed in the Fancy box).
How/ What would be the best way to integrate a comments system into this? Each photo has member comments but I need a way to show these next to the photo in Fancybox.
You may consider my fancybox "a la" Facebook ;)

You could insert any html in the right area.
Simple, Just like you display each picture with their independent comments, you will just display them into a larger box on click on a picture. just like facebook. Use whatever ajax u are currently using in the page into the box.
im building a webshop in Drupal and i was wondering if you could help me with the following problem:
I got one big image frame (500x500) and 5 little image thumbnails(95x95) underneath the big one.
How can i realise that if the visitor clicks on the thumbnail, the big image frame gets filled with that specific image?
jQuery is the right direction, but the strength of Drupal is based on doing things "the drupal way", which means, I guess in your case, to use Views as the origin for the thumbnails using imagecache + lightbox, and somehow change the main "frame".
I used jcarousel in some cases (for different but similar uses) and it works nice. I guess it is possible to trick it to do what you need, or - better - to find an existing module that do what you want.
I know, many Drupal buzzwords, and a stiff curve to overcome, but this is the right direction in case you want to base your site on Drupal.
If you don't need all of these, and want a static page+jquery, Drupal might be an overkill altogether.
If you use Views, Imagecache, and the Lightbox2 module, you can create image galleries out the arse and tell it to link the field to its large size and use Lightbox2 as the method. This is how I do most of my galleries.
Drupal uses jQuery so you can write a simple jQuery script to handle this (not sure if there's already a plugin to do that). Just add all the img tags (make sure all of them except the first one are hidden[display=none]). Then when a thumbnail is clicked/hovered do a $(big_img_holder).replace() with the tag for the image to be shown. Tell me if you want to see some code and I'll try to show you.
You can see this plugin as an exapmle. Just replace the numbers on the right with thumbnails and you're ready to go ;-)
At which level in Firefox the active zone around active areas (text and image hyperlinks) is defined ? I would like to experiment ways to extend them to ease the use of touchscreens for the web...
After discussions with some Mozilla folks, I tried to implement a solution using javascript with a Greasemonkey script available at http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~flepied/touchscreen/touchscreen.user.js. It tries to find the nearest link when you click on something that is not active.
The only way I know of is via the CSS property padding.
This is mostly not browser-specific, but determined by the layout information (in html or css). Basically, the area that the "link" element occupies is the clickable area. If you need a larger area, you have to make the element larger .. increase the text that is clickable, increase the font-size, increase padding (which might look strange).
