plugin: Image Sizer

I actually found what’s going on:

If say - I have:

{exp:imgsizer:size src="{image_url}" width="100"}

…then later if I decide to have a grayscale version of the same image - the above code won’t return a grayscale unless cache is set to “yes” - which will replace already cached (colored) images from the very first code.

thus, having:

{exp:imgsizer:size src="{image_url}" width="100" greyscale="yes" cache="yes"}

this WILL return a greyscale…

then you can remove cache=”yes”…

I guess a good way to “fix” the greyscale parameter, would be for it to create a chached version of the same image with a ‘x’ letter added to it. In other words: greyscale parameter creates cached version in the following matter - rotarylogo-80x80g.jpg (adding the letter ‘g’ at the end of the filename - this way you don’t have to fiddle with the cache=”yes/no” parameter.

…agree?

the way i have it setup is so the paths are relative to my install of EE for instance Server Path to Upload Directory = “../images/uploads/” URL of Upload Directory = “images/uploads/” as you can see in the error output img_rootstep i am appending the input to the src= to the root directory of your htdocs so try changing your file upload preferences to be Server Path to Upload Directory = “../images/feature_photos/” URL of Upload Directory = “images/feature_photos/”

Hi Lumis. Thanks for the great plug-in! Thanks also to those of you trying to resolve server path issues…

Lumis’ above advice was useful, but I am using a university server for the first time for a new site. I also get the ‘image not readable’ error.

You access us from a URL with the dreaded tilde.

http://www.arts.university.ca/~ourfolder

I guess this is something like running in a subdirectory, but if I try to mess with the configurable variables in path.php I get an error no matter what I change it to. Perhaps because we are in a folder within a subdomain? Ugh.

The server path to my web directory is thus like this:

/Users2/ourfolder/web-docs/

and the file upload folder

/Users2/ourfolder/web-docs/img/events/

Rather than this folder, /Users2/ourfolder/web-docs/img/events/, it wants to produce

src = /~ourfolder/img/events/solguy.jpg
    img_base = /~ourfolder/img/events
    img_basename = solguy.jpg
    img_extension = jpg
    img_filename = solguy
    img_rootstep = /usr/local/apache2/htdocs///~ourfolder/img/events
    img_rootpath = 
    img_fromroot = /solguy.jpg

If I try to make my server paths to the file upload folder relative to the EE folder, as Lumis has described above, I get

src = img/events/solguy.jpg
    img_base = img/events
    img_basename = solguy.jpg
    img_extension = jpg
    img_filename = solguy
    img_rootstep = /usr/local/apache2/htdocs//img/events
    img_rootpath = 
    img_fromroot = /solguy.jpg

If I try Derek’s touch-up to the code, I seem to get an even longer string in img_rootstep… ugh, I think I need to go and look at the paths with fresh eyes tomorrow.

Just wanted to post a very quick reply to say GREAT BIG THANKS for writing this plugin!

This will replace a lot of cumbersome code I have written in the past…

Hey Lumis, any chance of getting this to play nice with Extract URL or doesn it not work like this -

{exp:imgsizer:size src="{exp:extract_url}{artists_works_piece}{/exp:extract_url}" width="140" alt=""}

So this should work?

{exp:imgsizer:size image="{exp:extract_url}{artists_works_piece}{/exp:extract_url}" width="140" alt="{title} {gallery_year}" parse="inward"}

Nope it doesn’t :(

parse=”inwards” doesn’t seem to be listed on the plugin site page now.

I assume that if I use the custom fields from my template and utilise your example I get -

{exp:extract_url:precise}
    {field}
    {exp:html_strip keep="img"}{artists_works_piece}{/exp:html_strip}
    {/field}
    {exp:imgsizer:size src="{artists_works_piece}" width="140" alt=""}
{/exp:extract_url:precise}

What is the {field}{/field} tag pair?

This didn’t work I’m afraid.

Here is the code I used -

{exp:extract_url:precise}
        {field}
            {exp:html_strip keep="img"}{artists_works_piece}{/exp:html_strip}
       {/field}
    {exp:imgsizer:size src="{eu_url}" width="140" alt=""}
{/exp:extract_url:precise}

Anything I’m doing wrong here?

Is there no way for these to work together?

I just get a big blank space in the rendered HTML.

@ lumis I love this plugin and have used it lots & lots. It’s amazing.

I’m currently tryin to use it on my own site but it isnt working, see http://www.paulcripps.com/index_ee.php

This doesnt work {fav_img_url} is a custom filed containing https://ellislab.com/asset/images/ent-partner-logo/test.jpg… the tag is as follows: {exp:imgsizer:size src="{fav_img_url}” width=”445” alt=”{title}” debug=”1”}

I hard code the url it works fine: {exp:imgsizer:size src="http://www.paulcripps.com/images/uploads/favs/test.jpg" width="120" alt="{title}” }

So it looks like its a server thing, any thoughts on the errors and how to fix?

what does {fav_img_url} output if you put it in the template outside of the image sizer plugin?

Hmm rather strangely I appear to have run into the same problem as Paul!

None of these work: {exp:imgsizer:size src="images/site/project-blank.png" width="270" height="100" alt="test"} {exp:imgsizer:size src="/images/site/project-blank.png" width="270" height="100" alt="test"} {exp:imgsizer:size src="{site_url}images/site/project-blank.png” width=”270” height=”100” alt=”test”} {exp:imgsizer:size src="{site_url}/images/site/project-blank.png” width=”270” height=”100” alt=”test”}

This works: {exp:imgsizer:size src="http://example.com/v2/images/site/project-blank.png" width="270" height="100" alt="test"}

{site_url} outputs “http://example.com/v2/”

Any Idea what is up?

What is strange is I also more hosting on the the same shared server and it’s working fine on that other site, only difference is that I have a htaccess rule to remove the www part of the url.

edit here is some debug info:

src = images/site/project-blank.png
    img_base = images/site
    img_basename = project-blank.png
    img_extension = png
    img_filename = project-blank
    img_rootstep = /home/user/public_html/images/site
    img_rootpath = /home/user/public_html/images/site
    img_fromroot = /home/user/public_html/images/site/project-blank.png

The above misses out the fact it is in a sub directory called V2…

src = <img src="http://example.org/v2//images/site/project-blank.png" alt=""  />
    img_base = http://example.org/v2//images/site
    img_basename = project-blank.png
    img_extension = png
    img_filename = project-blank
    img_rootstep = /home/user/public_html/http://example.org/v2//images/site
    img_rootpath = 
    img_fromroot = /project-blank.png

This add a double slash to the rootstep, and im not sure if the domain should be their either

what does {fav_img_url} output if you put it in the template outside of the image sizer plugin?

The output is, as you would expect: /images/uploads/favs/test.jpg In admin I set the URL of Upload Directory to both

1 - /images/uploads/favs/ 2 - http://www.paulcripps.com//images/uploads/favs/

The output error I get from image sizer plugin is :

src = //www.paulcripps.com/images/uploads/favs/test.jpg 
    img_base = //www.paulcripps.com/images/uploads/favs/test.jpg <
    img_basename = p>
    img_extension = 
    img_filename = p
    img_rootstep = /content/DesignerPlus/p/a/www.paulcripps.com/web///www.paulcripps.com/images/uploads/favs/test.jpg <
    img_rootpath = 
    img_fromroot = /p.

/p. is not readable

You can see it here: http://www.paulcripps.com/index_ee.php/Home/image-resizer/

Any ideas, Im not great with servers php so sorry if its obvious?!!

Lumus,

As previous posts my de-bug info can be seen here: http://www.paulcripps.com/index_ee.php/Home/image-resizer/

Excuse my ignorance here but here a few thoughts. Could we pass the parameter to the path where the folder is? Only reason I say this is my custom field works fine, the image is uploaded and I can view it. So the problem is a server based path problem surely passing the exact path would work (as I say excuse my ignorance).

So:

{exp:imgsizer:size src="{my_custom_field_with_image_name_in}" width="140" img_root="http://www.paulcripps.com//images/uploads/favs/"}

I installed the EE gallery last night and that works fine giving me the desired result as you can see here: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) Though I would prefer to use the plugin: Image Sizer to give me a little more flexibility.
