MS Img Saver FieldType for FieldFrame

Thanks again for this, it looks set to be a killer field this one. Was just thinking perhaps the name needs to change though as maybe it should be more generic in nature so that people know they can use it for uploading more than just images?

Well…I haven’t tried anything else but images haha. I think you may be right though 😊. I’ll have to do some checks on the MIME Type to make sure it’s not trying to crop zip files though heh. Also, maybe make a setting that restricts what types of files can be uploaded. Good idea 😉.

Could you not use the standard File Upload Preferences to and ExpressionEngine routines to check the files that are being uploaded?

I’m getting a database error in FF Matrix using FF 0.98 and MS Img Saver 0.9.5. I’ve attached a screenshot.

Yes, you could, but there’s only two options. All files or only images. I’d like to see options where only say a zip file or pdf can be uploaded in certain custom fields 😊. That way it’s a no brainer for clients. I’m also going to be adding more information as to what files are allowed and what size they are going to be resized/cropped to in the publish/edit area.

What are you doing exactly and is it doing it every time? I’ve come across that error before and I’m trying to narrow it down as to what action is making it happen.

I’ve updated the extension to include a minor fix where if you were using it with FF Matrix and then deleted the entry it wasn’t deleting the folder where the images were stored, fixed now.

Also, you need to update FieldFrame to 0.9.9 for it work.

I updated to FF 0.99 and MS Img Saver 0.96 and got the same error, BUT then I decided to check my “jQuery for the Control Panel” settings since I had changed it to version 1.3.2 to test the new Forms Module. When I changed it back to jQuery 1.2.6 it worked perfectly.

Ahh yes, it sucks cause LiveQuery which is needed for this to work comes in two different versions, one that works in 1.3.2 and one that works in 1.2.6 and neither work for both ><. So yes, I need to figure out how to get around that.

Glad you got it working 😊.

I’ve updated the extension to 1.0. The interface is a bit prettier now and it gives you a bit of information about the custom field. Check original posts attached screenshots 😊.

Please let me know if you run into any problems.

Updated MS Img Saver to v1.0.1 making it compatible with jQuery 1.3+ due to a new popular Addon called The Forms module needing it as well. Anyone using less than 1.3 will have problems.

Cheerio 😊

Hi Cody,

Just to let you know that I’ve now found out what the major problem was with all of this 😊

It’s actually having a problem with another extension of yours which is why I was having all the problems I was having. It’s your jQuery Quick Save extension. As soon as I enable that extension the IMG Saver fieldtype won’t work so not too sure what’s going on but just glad that I’ve found the area of the problem now.

Everything is now working pretty much as it should except that the image gets uploaded (at the moment to my localhost) but I can’t open the image. The size of the file is about right but the image just won’t load in any image applications. The auto generated thumbnail opens fine though so not too sure what’s going on there so will try a few other things but just to let you know where all my problems were stemming from 😉

Best wishes,

Mark

Oh that’s great news! I’m glad you found the problem 😊. I have not used it in conjunction with Quick Save, so I will now figure out what’s going on 😊. Not sure what to tell you about the bigger image cause the thumbnail gets created the same exact way 😕.

Actually, I’ve already updated Quick Save to prevent from this happening. If you update to the latest version on GitHub, check my signature, then all should be well 😊.

Hi Cody,

Thanks for the update. Going to give it a try now. I seem to be spoilt for choice now what with your IMG Saver and now the nGen File Field, what’s a man to do?

😊

Best wishes,

Mark
