plugin: Image Sizer

I want to delete the folder with all the re-sized images. But i get an error. This is the error “Error -144: remote delete failed”. I can rename the folder but then i get a duplicate of the “sized” folder.

Is this a normal behavior? How do i get rid of this problem?

I use version 2.5.6.

This happened to me recently and I had to get on to my hosts so they could make some changes to my account to give me the necessary permissions to delete that folder.

@angstmann: My first reaction: Yeay I’m not the only one. My second one: But do i have to go to the hosting provider every time when i want to delete the “sized” folder?

No I don’t think so. I would assume that its a global setting at your web hosts that is stopping you deleting or changing the permissions yourself on certain folders. I only had to request the change once and I can change permissions and delete fine now. Are you on a standard shared hosting account, or are you on a reseller, VPS or dedicated server? I think some shared hosting accounts have less control over permissions, etc to begin with.

I contacted the hosting provider of my client and they changed the permissions. Now I’m happy again.

Mister Angstmann –> Thnx!

You’re welcome. It was good to get to the bottom of it, I can tell you, rather than me just cursing at the computer screen like I normally do 😊 Glad you got it sorted.

I can’t get Image Sizer to work. Created the “sized” folder, made the folder writable, and my server supports GD. I can’t get this to work:

{exp:imgsizer:size src="http://www.mywebsite.com/images/uploads/olives.jpg" width="180" alt="{title}"}

Anyone know what’s going on? This is really frustrating.

The way I always troubleshoot this plugin is to turn on template debugging in the EE Prefs and reload the page that has the imgsizer code on it. Check for any issues related to the plugin in the debug output. Mine were paths/permissions related, even though I thought I’d set everything correctly!

Hello all,

I am having a prblem with global variables not working from within the imgsizer tag.

Something like this…

{exp:imgsizer:size src="{site_url}images/filename.jpg" width="150" height="150"}

…throws the following error

imgsizer.Error: /Library/WebServer/Documents/{site_url}/images/filename.jpg image is not readable or does not exist

Any ideas why {site_url} is not getting replaced???

Thanks!

Hi, I’m getting this error when trying to use image sizer:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /homepages/33/d291396367/htdocs/eefiles/plugins/pi.imgsizer.php on line 700

Running ee v 1.6.8 and image sizer 2.5.6 the line that creates the problem is:

{exp:imgsizer:size image="/images/uploads/6th-Av.jpg" width="100" height="100" alt=""}

Also, the plugin manager won’t load with image sizer installed. Any ideas? Aldo

Having this exact same issue - Just moved site from local to web, checked all paths - everything else working except imgsizer plugin. remove plugin, all good.

Any ideas?

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /xxxxxx/plugins/pi.imgsizer.php on line 700

Fixed - Requires PHP5 :)

I’m getting a massively long file path to my cached directory for images.

{exp:imgsizer:size src="http://images.mysite.org/{image_file}" remote="on" width="200" alt="{image_des}"}

Results in this…

Why is it repeating the images directory?

I had the same issue when I used it on the last site I did - I just decided to roll with it as it seemed to work just fine regardless It did strike me as odd though, and if there’s a solution to avoid strange file paths in future then I’ll be interested to hear it.

I’d think that the {image_file} variable contains “/images/sized/images/sized/remote/images-mysite-org-global-video-who_is_test_file-200x140.jpg”. It probably doesn’t have anything to do with the imgsizer plugin. To check, place {image_file} on it’s own not in the imgsizer plugin so that it echoes on the page. That way you can see what values are being passed to imagesizer.

If the {image_file} variable is “/images/sized/remote/images-mysite-org-global-video-who_is_test_file-200x140.jpg” then there’s your problem. Imgsizer automatically adds /images/sized to the base_path. In this case /remote/.
