Error when trying to set up Contextual Crop Reference with ImageWidgetCrop Adapter

Média Contextual Crop API came with a patch on Crop module. This patch add an data-field in the crop entity.

Can you check if the patch correctly applied composer reinstall drupal/crop

Did you have run an drush updb after install crop with composer ?

Thanks for the quick reply!

Which patch do you mean exactly, do you have a link? I saw some patch requirement before. I was wondering about it and concluded that it was already merged. Did you just update the project description and take out that patch info?

I certainly did drush updatedb and drush cache:rebuild after install.

I now did composer reinstall drupal/crop as you told with another drush updatedb, but the problem remains...

In the media_contextual_crop (2.x) have a patch in the composer.json :

            "drupal/crop": {
                "provide_contextual_capability_to_crops": "https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/2023-11-06/%232617818-31-provide_contextual_capability_to_crops.patch"
            }

It theorie, composer patch will apply it automaticly

If you run a composer reinstall drupal/crop you may this response in the console

  - Installing drupal/crop (2.3.0): Extracting archive
  - Applying patches for drupal/crop
    https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/2023-11-06/%232617818-31-provide_contextual_capability_to_crops.patch (provide_contextual_capability_to_crops)

After the path applied, you may have to run a drush updb in order to apply the crop_update_8006 "Add context field to Crop entity"

All right. The patch is not getting applied automatically in my setup. I did it manually and crop_update_8006 is applied now after updb!

The error is gone, but unfortunately I still have no cropping abilities...

Are you sure using a "media with contextual modification" instead of the native "reference" field ?

In term of configuration :

0. Define a CROP and an image style using this crop

1. In the CONTENT TYPE,
- On field configuration : be sure using a "media with contextual modifications" field type, instead of the "native entity reference" field type ?
- On view mode : choose the "render" formater and a view mode for the media

2. In the MEDIA Image STRUCTURE, you need to set :
- in the form mode : use Image widget Crop
- in the media view mode (the one used by the content type) : use the formater "Context crop image" on the field_image, and select a image_style who use a crop

Thanks for the help! I followed your steps and I am getting closer, but still got issues. I now have the crop widget in the node edit form and can select a crop area, but:
- It does not save my crop configuration. I.e. it forgets it. The next time I open the modal crop area is back to full image.
- In the image modal there is a warning "This crop definition affects more usages of this image".
- I cannot see any preview for my crop selection.

If you have difficulty applying the patches, this is probably due to the fact that the patch on media_library_media_modify has not been applied either

This patch is provided by the composer.json of Media Contextual Crop Reference

"patches": {
            "drupal/media_library_media_modify": {
                "#3270150 Add alteration": "https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/2022-06-08/manage_crops_3270150-7.patch"
            }
        }

You are right. My composer-patches wasn't configured properly. I fixed that and now all patches are applied. It did even reinstall core to also apply "Issue #3263397-10: Simplify form logic in media library".

Now one thing is fixed: It saves my crop configuration!

But I still got these issues left:

• In the image modal there is a warning "This crop definition affects more usages of this image".
• I cannot see any preview for my crop selection.

Is this what I have to expect? Thanks!

In the image modal there is a warning "This crop definition affects more usages of this image".

For the first point, I have push an update on media_contextual_crop_iwc_adapter to alter messages.

I cannot see any preview for my crop selection.

This "bug" aren't in my hands, if you use a croped media with a classique media_reference field, you will have the same result.
