[](#how-to-use)

### 1. Replace core Elgg profile avatar cropping tool

[](#1-replace-core-elgg-profile-avatar-cropping-tool)

If plugin is enabled, the default core Elgg profile avatar cropping tool is replaced by this image cropping tool. Several options in plugin settings can be used for customizing the tool.

### 2. Use cropper input in any form

[](#2-use-cropper-input-in-any-form)

The cropper input can be used in any Elgg form, passing just the image to crop and optionally the Aspectratio (overriding the value plugin settings):

```
// assign photo to cropper input
$master_img = elgg_view('output/img', array(
    'src' => $vars['entity']->getIconUrl('master'),
    'alt' => elgg_echo('avatar'),
    'class' => 'mrl',
    'id' => 'image',
));
$vars['image_to_crop'] = $master_img;

// optionally assign custom aspectratio to overide the aspectratio in settings
// set blank for free ratio or enter number e.g. 1 for 1/1
// if put comment the following line, the aspectratio value from settings will be used
$vars['aspectratio'] = 1;

echo elgg_view_input('cropper', $vars);
```
