Export format integration

In order to use the defined focal points in export formats, you have to edit home/appserver/spring/conversionProcessDefinitions.xml as following:

1. Add two new parameters "Crop Image" and "Crop Gravity" to the conversion process "DownloadImage", by inserting this XML inside the property element "parameterList" (preferably directly below the definition for the parameter "imageHeight"):

   <bean class="com.celum.imagine.conversion.processing.definition.ConversionProcessDefinitionParameter">
   <!-- Crop Image -->
   <property name="identifier" value="cropImage"/>
   <property name="label" value="Crop Image?"/>
   <property name="description"
           value="If set to 'yes' and Image Width and Height are both not empty, the image will be cropped to exactly the width and height specified"/>
   <property name="allowedValues">
   <list>
     <value>yes</value>
     <value>no</value>
   </list>
   </property>
   <property name="defaultValue" value="no"/>
   </bean>
   <bean class="com.celum.imagine.conversion.processing.definition.ConversionProcessDefinitionParameter">
   <!-- Crop Gravity -->
   <property name="identifier" value="cropGravity"/>
   <property name="label" value="Gravity"/>
   <property name="description"
           value="Defines the gravity towards which images will be cropped – ignored if 'Crop Image' is set to 'false', overridden if an focal point is specified on the asset"/>
   <property name="allowedValues">
   <list>
     <value>Center</value>
     <value>East</value>
     <value>NorthEast</value>
     <value>North</value>
     <value>NorthWest</value>
     <value>SouthEast</value>
     <value>South</value>
     <value>SouthWest</value>
     <value>West</value>
   </list>
   </property>
   <property name="defaultValue" value="Center"/>
   </bean>

2. Inside the bean with id "parseUserSize" replace this XML snippet...

   <bean class="com.celum.imagine.conversion.processing.definition.ConversionProcessStep">
   <property name="conversionProcessExecutorName" value="variable-modification"/>
   <property name="parameters">
   <set>
     <bean class="com.celum.imagine.conversion.processing.definition.ConversionProcessStepParameter">
       <property name="parameterName" value="TargetVariable"/>
       <property name="parameterValue" value="imageMagickResizeParameter"/>
     </bean>
     <bean class="com.celum.imagine.conversion.processing.definition.ConversionProcessStepParameter">
       <property name="parameterName" value="Expression"/>
       <property name="parameterValue" value="-resize '$var[imageWidthParameter]x$var[imageHeightParameter]>'"/>
     </bean>
   </set>
   </property>
   </bean>

   ...with this one:

   <bean class="com.celum.imagine.conversion.processing.definition.ConversionProcessDecision">
   <property name="conversionProcessExecutorName" value="option-decision"/>
   <property name="parameters">
   <set>
     <bean class="com.celum.imagine.conversion.processing.definition.ConversionProcessStepParameter">
       <property name="parameterName" value="OptionValue"/>
       <property name="parameterValue" value="cropImage"/>
     </bean>
   </set>
   </property>
   <property name="branches">
   <set>
     <bean class="com.celum.imagine.conversion.processing.definition.ConversionProcessDecisionBranch">

       <property name="processStepList">

           <bean class="com.celum.imagine.conversion.processing.definition.ConversionProcessStep">
             <property name="conversionProcessExecutorName" value="variable-modification"/>
             <property name="parameters">
               <set>
                 <bean class="com.celum.imagine.conversion.processing.definition.ConversionProcessStepParameter">

                   <property name="parameterValue" value="imageMagickResizeParameter"/>
                 </bean>
                 <bean class="com.celum.imagine.conversion.processing.definition.ConversionProcessStepParameter">

                 </bean>
               </set>
             </property>
           </bean>
         </list>
       </property>
     </bean>
     <bean class="com.celum.imagine.conversion.processing.definition.ConversionProcessDecisionBranch">

             <property name="parameters">

                 <bean class="com.celum.imagine.conversion.processing.definition.ConversionProcessStepParameter">

                   <property name="parameterValue" value="imageMagickResizeParameter"/>
                 </bean>
                 <bean class="com.celum.imagine.conversion.processing.definition.ConversionProcessStepParameter">
                   <property name="parameterName" value="Expression"/>
                   <property name="parameterValue" value="-resize '$var[imageWidthParameter]x$var[imageHeightParameter]^>' -gravity $option[cropGravity] -crop '$var[imageWidthParameter]x$var[imageHeightParameter]$translator[FocalPointTranslator:$option[cropGravity]]'"/>
                 </bean>
               </set>
             </property>
           </bean>
         </list>
       </property>
     </bean>
   </set>
   </property>
   </bean>

Attention: After adding a parameter to a conversion process, all export formats using this process will be disabled and have to be re-enabled in the CMA.
