Use Jcrop for image header cropping

[joelpittet]

Ryan,

I was poking around in the wordpress svn trunk and saw that you were the last one to touch the scriptaculous directory. Then I did a bit of poking more and noticed you guys only used that framework for cropping, it seems. Here is a nice jQuery plugin for that. ​http://deepliquid.com/projects/Jcrop/demos.php?demo=handler

I would love to try to implement this if you think it's a good idea. Also, if that replaces the last scriptaculous dependancy would you consider removing that library or do you keep it for plugin's that might tie into it?

If keep it, would you like the latest bug fix release in a patch?

It would be good to see a patch to do this conversion so that everything is jQuery based.

We would likely still keep scriptaculous around for plugins.

Indeed, a patch would be appreciated, especially since the current cropper seems to be broken in trunk.

(In [10846]) Use Jcrop for cropping. see #9375

Eh, isn't this fixed now? I close it then, commit is in.

Jcrop doesn't work with the non-conflict version of jQuery -- it expects $ to be the jQuery class. Patch is attached. I sent it upstream, too.

(In [10863]) Make jCrop compatible with noConflict. Props nbachiyski. fixes #9375
