Image resizing?

[ludachris]

I uploaded an ad and it did not resize the photo. It's posted on the category page and showproduct page fullsize at 700 pixels wide. Isn't it supposed to resize to the specified height/width?

Actually, let me be clear - I uploaded an ad, then edited it to add the photo afterwards. Maybe that's where the bug is...

[ludachris]

Tried to rebuild thumbnail to fix the problem, received this error on the page:
Error creating resized original! Error code: 218

and these were up top:
Warning: Unable to create '': No such file or directory in /var/www/dsmtuners.com/html/classifieds/image-inc.php on line 257

Warning: unlink() failed (No such file or directory) in /var/www/dsmtuners.com/html/classifieds/image-inc.php on line 285

Is this product still Beta?

It's a 1.0 release that had a dozen testers involved prior for 4 months to release.

Are you using GD or IM? Everythign set properly? What are your image settings? More info to begin with saves time.

I'm using IM. Image settings are as follows:

If product upload width or height exceeds maximums, resize upload down to max dimensions?
yes
Enable watermarking of products with overlay image?
no
If enabled, position of overlay watermark on images.
SouthEast NorthWest North NorthEast West Center East SouthWest South: SouthEast
Full server path to watermark overlay image. n/a

Thumbnail image max width and height in pixels. 100

Max allowable product image width in pixels (images will be resized down). 250

Acceptable image file types?
Seperate file types by a comma and include the . (example: .jpg,.gif,.png) .jpg,.jpeg,.png,.gif
Max allowable product image height in pixels (images will be resized down). 250


PP4.7 is working fine for me though.

[Michael P]

Okay, I'll do a test with similiar settings - although being Sunday I can't promise anything til tomorrow.

[ludachris]

Any ideas Michael? The IM path can't be wrong, as I'm using the same path for PP. What else might it be?

[ludachris]

Michael - you surely can't be stumped on this one?

[Michael P]

I'm not sure what a 218 error is - you get this only when clicking on the rebulid thumbnail? Are any of your images resizing or none of them are?

My apologies Michael, let me give you an update on the problem... no more errors. I have the script working, it's just not resizing any images when I upload them. I've tried editing, deleting, re-uploading, etc. Every image I upload shows up full size - thumbnails aren't being created, nor are the maximage limitations working. I thought it was because of IM, but my path is absolutely correct. I really don't know what else it could be.

Most likely the exec() function is being blocked on your server from your host. If this is the case ImageMagick will not compile thumbs or medium images. You will need to switch to using GD.

In my understanding any host that has the exec function locked down will not remove it for you under any circumstances but you can ask if this is the case.

[ludachris]

But wouldn't this also affect Photopost? I'm not having any trouble with thumbnails or medium images with that script...

[Chuck S]

Well you never said in this thread you owned Photopost.

I know when ImageMagick does not create thumbs and mediums on upload it is usually because the exec function is disabled

You can PM me an admin account and to look at your settings and try a few uploads if you want.

[Chuck S]

Okay well I see one main difference in image-inc.php

At around line 217 of that file try adding this


$thumbnail = "{$User['userid']}".$filenoext."-thumb$theext";

[ludachris]

no luck with that. I placed it at line 217. Should it be after a specific function or "if" statement?

I believe I have the most recent files - wouldn't others have experienced this problem too if there was something wrong with the code?

[Chuck S]

That was just a stab in the dark as that was the ONE main difference between reviewpost and classifieds image-inc

I can not replicate this on my classifieds. Have you double checked you uploaded all the most recent files?

I can verify your Photopost works as needed but Classifieds does not.

Now I have Photopost Reviewpost and Classifieds using all the same imagemagick and no problems

[ludachris]

I don't know - I've just uploaded all the files for 1.1 and it still does not work. I copied the path for IM directly from my photopost installation as well. Thumbnails are not being generated. This is quite frustrating. Maybe I'll just request to have my money back... maybe things will be better after a few more version updates.

[ludachris]

Am I the only one having this damn problem?

If the IM path is entered correctly, then this must be a bug in the script. Why was this moved out of the Bugs forum? I've paid for this software, gave a support engineer access to my admin area, and yet, there is no resolution. If this wasn't an issue in the first release, then why would uploading files from a newer release mean it's fixed? I have already tried that anyway, and it doesn't solve it. When can I get some real help here? What other info do you need from me? I've given all my settings. I've allowed access. I've followed instructions.

[Michael P]

I honestly don't think this is an application issue - I have Classifieds running on several sites and so far you are indeed the only one reporting this issue. I'll talk to Chuck and see if we can get someone to take a closer look.

[Chuck S]

Okay set your data directory and uploads directories to 777 as well as any subdirectories under them

You had your data directory set as your upload directory and uploads directory. Lets see what happens when you set permissions

[ludachris]

That didn't seem to do the trick. Still no thumbnails are being created. What next?
