Hi,

Thank you for this great module. I have a views with a text field where the input is unlimited or more than 1. In version 7.2 it was working fine with a multiple data field and the text were grouped in a views however after upgrading to 7.3 (also tried 7.3 dev) it renders the first data only. The views works fine with a plain text format.

The reason I upgraded is in version 7.2 I could not manage to stop cropping the last characters and version 7.3x has much more benefits.

BEst regards

Halil

@bonchak thanks for your report.

Textimage 3 field formatter was designed in the sense that when a multi-item text field is formatted, then each text item is passed separately to each 'textimage text' effect, so that a single image is built out of the various items, with each item leading to a separate text element on the image. That said, I think it could make sense to have an option in the formatter so that an alternative behaviour be implemented, i.e. produce one image per each text item in the field, with each text item just passed to the first 'textimage text' effect.

It could help if you could add to the issue summary the steps to reproduce your problem, and possibly screenshots too (in both 7.2 and 7.3 version).

Hello,

I've been using version 7.2 in views slideshow with a text field of multiple data. At first I've been using normal text and my goal was to build a block of a rotating banner of simple texts but with different backgrounds. When I use a normal text I have to deal with CSS to control the width of the text and I have to enter a diferent css for eachline to make them look justified. Anyway, Textimage has a nice typographic look just out of the box and avoids hyphenation and etc and a bit blurry text look is what I've been looking for (thx for all of these). The reason I've upgraded to 7.3x was to avoid cropping of the last letters ( not the whole letetr but just a few pixels) and to see the new features. Now I've downgraded to 7.2 and will look for a solution for the cropping.

It is not a production site yet so this is not an urgent issue for me but a 7.3 version with an option as you have mentioned would be great. I've included the secreen caps for both versions and the setting for the views(same setting for both versions).

Best Regards

This patch introduces a new formatter setting that allows to select whether to produce, for a multi-value text field, either a single image with all the text values, or one image for each text value. It probably will fail testing because of #2606620: web-5.3 missing dockerfile copy cmd, but locally test runs fine.

@bonchak if you could test and feedback it would be great

Automatic testing of #5 is green on old testing infrastructure.
