Problem/Motivation
Navigation allows to upload a custom logo to be included at the top of the bar.
Nowadays, the only restriction applied is related to image weight, but not for dimensions. That means that image bigger thatn te expected placement are being adjusted via CSS.
For a better resource management, would be great to adjust the custom logo dimensions to the logo placeholder to avoid loading unnecessarily big images.
Proposed resolution
The proposal here is to use a similar approach as we already have when uploading a picture to an image field that exceeds the maximum allowed size for the field.
When image is bigger than 40x40px, it would be automatically scaled during upload and a message like this would be shown to the end user:
The image was resized to fit within the navigation logo expected dimensions of 40x40 pixels. The new dimensions of the resized image are 40x40 pixels.
Following this path, code would be much simpler, reducing the number of possible points of failure and we would be safer assuming that original image can be used directly as navigation logo.
To give more flexibility, the icon size could be set as properties in the navigation.settings config entity, but not shown. So contrib modules or advanced site administrators could modify them.
Remaining tasks
None.
User interface changes
Adds message during file upload to notify user the image will be automatically resized if above expected size.
API changes
Adds image width/height as Configuration (no UI additions for these). For flexibility around image sizes changes tied to config rather than code, same as current file-size restriction already.
Data model changes
Uses Configuration to establish expected size of navigation logo.

skaught- lets make this config an optional install
- lets work in a softer-dependency to imagecache being applied if service available.
- lets add some help information about this

Comment #27
godotislateLGTM.
One note, though, that is apparently unrelated. When I test latest Navigation 1.x-dev (#11b42e3) against latest Drupal core 10.3.x-dev (#e03ae01) with standard profile, the third level menu items become unclickable. They do seem to work fine against core 10.2.5. I haven't checked against core 11.x because currently drush does not have a compatible version.
Uploaded screen recording: https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/2024-04-17/Screen%20Recording%202024...
I looked quickly through the issue queue and didn't see anything, so if someone else can confirm or reproduce, an new issue can be opened for that.
Comment #28
skaughti've been working in 10.2 myself. there is a new tag (today) and some followup issues around keyboard-a11y ticket work are open.
I did see that same thing for a moment, then re-flushed my drupal caches and browser cache --then was okay..
(: i'm sure that would be called out more directly from dev line in the next few hours..
I'm confident it's not coming from this branch of work. cheers!

plopescBeen thinking about this issue and I think that using Image Styles here adds an extra layer of complexity that might not be necessary.
Having an image style we need to assume these risks:

When image is bigger than 40x40px, it would be automatically scaled during upload and a message like this would be shown to the end user:

Comment #36
skaughtplopesc
the precursor problem is Image (core module) is enable and Servers have php's GD Library Enabled (or, imagemagic). As i've thought around this: we should just enforce a 40x40image and not offer to resize. then we aren't' offering point to fail by..
And 'IF' down the line we allow svg --> same only verify size, let the user use the correct file in the first place (sanitize of svg being the secondary concern there, as can be done by xdoc manipulation).
points:
-Image style could be modified by site administrators, leading to unexpected results
-Image Style could be deleted by site administrators, so we cannot assume that it is
^yes indeed. imagecache does not support the ability to only apply a programmatically config/setup as i can determine. this would bypass UI for wider use-cases like this..
similar, imagecache does not have a 'locked' feature..
other option::
don't offer the 3rd 'custom logo' option if Image is not enabled in the server. as this patch does include strong 'help text' and Reports page items, users can responsiblity setup their site if they alter the 'navigation imagecache preset'. [back to square one.]
Comment #37
plopescGood points @SKAUGHT
Let me try to clarify the approach to try to address your concerns.
The automatic resize image approach does not require the image module to be enabled because the image manipulation API is in
\Drupal\Core\Image class.If the Image manipulation API fails to transform the image due to the unlikely scenario where GD is missing or any other internal fail, we can show an error indicating that image has to be of the specified dimensions, like
FileImageDimensionsConstraintValidatordoes.If SVG support is added in the future, we might need to create a specific path for that
Comment #38
skaughtu mean something like:
Comment #39
catchAgreed that image style is tricky. SVGs definitely would need their own code path if added eventually, as I found out in #3345259: Theme logo image is rendered without dimensions - getting SVG dimensions is very different.
Comment #40
skaughtyes, a correctly defined width and height attributes with fallback to svg viewBox if defined. i had mocks on that on other branches but we didn't have a sanitize routine worked out there.
just a reminder also we do need the correct size for the img as the logo is eager loading. we do output the correct image size from existing routing with a custom image.
(: lol. so much work for such a small picture

It will require some adjustments and tests, but I think it is working as expected.

plopescThis MR is trying to address logo issues in parallel with #3443810: Custom Navigation logo is disconnected from new Layout template.
Problems with custom logo visibility are being worked on that issue.
The aim of this issue is to resize images, if possible, to fit in the 40x40 expected space for logo.

quietone commentedI read the issue summary, comment and the MR. There is a remaining task of another issue but it isn't clear if that needs to be completed first. Does it?
There is discussion of the solution at #35->#37 and I didn't find any unanswered questions.
I made 3 minor changes to the MR, none of which are in code. Commit checks pass locally so tests should be fine here. Therefor, I am leaving this at RTBC.
Comment #59
m4oliveiI don't believe so. It doesn't need to be completed first. The added functionality here addresses logos that are too big. However, just like it is on 11.x at present, a user can still upload a logo smaller than the recommended dimensions, and we need a fix so we don't break the layout, which is the subject of #3444391: Center small navigation logo on collapsed state. It's not a requirement for this issue. It's only related, and already marked as such. I've updated the issue summary. @SKAUGHT or @plopesc can correct me if I'm wrong.
Comment #60
skaughtno, it required by, nor first. it would be a different set of tests at well.
Comment #61
plopescI don't see any of the mentioned issues as blockers.
Thank you for stepping up @m4olivei!
Comment #62
catchI'm not entirely sure about this.
Say there is a design change to increase the image size to 45*45 pixels, then all the existing uploaded images would be too small. Could we not use an image style instead? It would mean navigation module needs to ship a new image style, and then render the image via that, but should be less code overall too.
Comment #63
m4oliveiThe first pass at the implementation here did use an image style. However, that approach was abandoned for reasons. See #35 - #39. Namely @plopsec had the following concerns with the image style approach, which weren't sufficiently addressed, and thus we shifted to the current approach.
I'd argue that the design is pretty stable, and should there be a future adjustment to the image size, sites would still have the recourse of re-uploading their custom logo.
Comment #64
catchThis at least could be handled with validation to prevent deletion when navigation module is installed.
Comment #65
skaughtre: Say there is a design change to increase the image size to 45*45 pixels,
#3444391: Center small navigation logo on collapsed state would be the fallback to address images that are too small.
more widely as well...if, in future the image size gets reduced a hook_update should be then used to handle an attached content.
#64: "This at least could be handled with validation to prevent deletion when navigation"
perhaps. but we do then just have more is more code.. and a confusing active UI item that no one is suppose to touch?? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
->PS: already we degrade is if no file (fid) found, or file is deleted from FS, then it will default to the 'original svg logo' used (unless 'hide logo' is selected).
#57: "There is discussion of the solution at #35->#37 and I didn't find any unanswered questions."
under the now hidden '3436526-create-image-styles' branch on this ticket was reason re abandoned working with imagecache vs this current branch.
Comment #66
catchhmm those are good answers. Still not sure about this, but moving back to RTBC and will try to get a second opinion from another committer (or someone else can just commit it too of course).
Comment #67
nod_I went through the same though process as you @catch and got the same "umm I don't know but I don't have a clearly better solution" conclusion. I should have commented, it could have saved you a bit of time.
I'll leave the commit to someone else too, this one is a bit out of my scope.
Comment #68
catchThere's one other issue here, I didn't review #3425080: Add a UI option to change or hide the logo on the Toolbar before it went in and just realised it now thinking about this one.
Requiring a file upload here means that this has to be done on the production site, and then the file entity and file itself synced back to a development environment, and then the config exported.
The theme logo UI lets you upload a managed file, but the configuration stores the file path, and it also lets you enter a file path directly. This means even if you rely on an uploaded file, it's possible to change the local configuration to point to the file path without having to know the specific file ID.
This would then provide a way for site owners to use SVGs, which would partially solve #3436520: Decide if and how we should support SVGs on the Nav Icon then.
Comment #69
m4olivei🤔 Great point. It makes good sense that the navigation logo would follow the theme logo UI more closely. Although the theme logo doesn't do any management of the size of the image, neither is enforcing a size on upload, adjusting the size on upload, or applying an image style on output. Are you suggesting that we follow that same approach wholesale, in which case this issue is not necessary? Or are you still OK with the approach here and wanting to add the consideration for better config export support in a followup issue?
Agree it would help that issue.
Comment #70
m4oliveiI see now that a follow up was created for #3462829: Store the file path instead of ID for the navigation logo.
Comment #71
catchNo not really, just the config management part. #3345259: Theme logo image is rendered without dimensions is an existing issue with the theme logo that we shouldn't re-introduce to navigation.
Comment #72
longwave@catch the existing implementation already uses file entities, so changing that here feels out of scope and a followup exists for it; the problem at hand is to restrict/adjust the size, which the PR looks to solve.
Comment #73
quietone commentedUpdated credit
Comment #74
catchJust to confirm again, I'm fine going ahead here and continuing in #3462829: Store the file path instead of ID for the navigation logo.
