plugin: Image Sizer

I’m running EE 1.6.7 build 20090320 and using Image Sizer 2.1 (Image Sizer 2.5.6 won’t work at all). When I’m using the plugin jpg and png files show up fine, but gifs don’t work at all. Has anyone else had this issue? What did you do to fix it? Thanks!

I’ve read through all 27 pages, and although I came across two or three others asking the same question, I never located an answer - might have just missed it…

Is there a way to test the width and height of the original uploaded image so that it’s proportions can be determined, and then perform different image sizer operations accordingly?

In many cases you need to handle the sizing differently depending on if the original image is portrait or landscape oriented.

P.S. One of the best EE plug-ins available, truly a must have. Thanks again.

Hello, I am having a problem with Image Sizer. I installed my ee into a subdir like this www.domain.com/v2/, the original images are at www.domain.com/v2/images/gallery/ and I want the sized images to be at www.domain.com/v2/images/gallery/images/sized/ but Image Sizer wants to use www.domain.com/images/sized/v2/images/gallery.

I tried using the parameters base_path or base_cache, but the tag is not rendered at all in the template when I use either of them.

Odd this question never seems to get answered 😊 , or if it has that I can’t seem to find it. Seems pretty fundamental to me, so it’s either so obvious that it’s not worth answering, or it’s not as common a need as I’d perceive it to be.

Basically, I just want to know what the width and height of the originally uploaded image are, and then execute different image sizer operations based on that knowledge.

Using the example of an image being displayed within a lightbox, applying “height=400” works great for portrait and square images, it keeps the images viewable for most users running at a resolution of 1024 - it also works great for a large number of landscape images, …until it doesn’t.

Landscape images over a certain width become WAY to broad when sized vertically to 400. So I need to test for images of a certain aspect ratio, and give those image sizer operations a width instead of height to work with. Make sense?

Godspeed.

I’ve read through all 27 pages, and although I came across two or three others asking the same question, I never located an answer - might have just missed it… Is there a way to test the width and height of the *original* uploaded image so that it’s proportions can be determined, and then perform different image sizer operations accordingly? In many cases you need to handle the sizing differently depending on if the original image is portrait or landscape oriented. P.S. One of the best EE plug-ins available, truly a must have.

Goodcompany … honestly, I’m not totally sure if I really understand your question, it seems totally unrelated to Image Sizer for me - so apologies if this is not what you’re looking for. But if your question is: “How can I get the height and width of an uploaded image to use it in conditionals?”, then either this add-on might help (I never used it myself) or you could use a few lines of PHP utilizing the getimagesize function.

Sorry, I think you’re right, ms. I lost the forrest through the trees. But thanks a ton for chiming in, and for introducing me to size plus plugin. It’s exactly what I need to make it work.

Im completely shtuck!

Iv installed the plugin, as iv done plenty of times before, but its not creating the cached image!!

I dont know WHATS going on… but this is the debugging im getting.

it looks like the url path is being sent html encoded parameters…

even tho, my tag says

{exp:imgsizer:size src="/images/home/pic1.jpg" width="230"}

Solved.

Looks like the plugin debugging just refused to work!

Did some manual debugging (print statements ftw!), and managed to get it nailed down to some really odd permissions issues.

I’m trying real hard but my thumbnails keep getting squished….

{exp:imgsizer:size src="{photo}" width="90" height="90"}{photo}{/exp:imgsizer:size}

…resizes fine but squeezes my landscape-oriented photos horizontally.

am I doing it wrong?

thanks.

You should use the auto parameters :

{exp:imgsizer:size image="{photo}" auto="90" alt="Thumb"}{/exp:imgsizer:size}

Is there a simple step-by-step, or complete example somewhere? Or some kind of admin config I have to set up?

1st example from the doc (I’ve changed the file name to one on my server):

{exp:imgsizer:size src="/images/news/moped.jpg" width="200" alt="My Title" id="img_5334" class="entry_img"}

Results in nothing output to HTML. Do I have to set permissions for some directory?

Ah okay, as I suspected, you have to create a “sized” directory and then chmod 777 and chown it.

Working now..

I’ve tried using this plugin but I keep getting an error on my local machine.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 36000 bytes) in D:\sites\EECore\system\plugins\pi.imgsizer.php on line 554

Any suggestions?

cheers

Woops! - no width or height was set on the tag so resulted in that error.
