Autoscaling large images fails

Hi,

I just bought PhotoPost v6.0 and installed it as integrated part of vBulletin v3.6.8. Unfortunately it seems there is a serious bug in PhotoPost.
Users get an error when they are trying to upload pictures with rather large dimensions. For example, uploading photo 1600x1000 pixels is OK (it's automatically scaled down to specified limits), but photo with about 3000x2000 pixels causes an error. My upload settings in PhotoPost are: max allowable image width/height – 1024; min allowable image width/height – 500; max file size – 1 MB. (Btw, I use GD Library in my system, and I cannot replace it with ImageMagick because of some reasons.)
Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Well if you state your exact error we might be able to assist but i would assume your GD2 is choking on your image causing PHP to shut down.

This might assist.

Fatal memory error

If that does not help let me know.

I had the same problem with GD. Try adding these lines to a .htaccess file in your sites root directory: (If you don't have a .htaccess file, create one)

php_value max_execution_time 3000
php_value post_max_size 20M
php_value upload_max_filesize 60M



That helped me but some users still had problems. GD finally drove me nuts and I switched to Imagemajick. Some users still had the same problem. With all the 7+ megapixel cameras in use, people try to upload some monster file sizes.

On my site, I encourage users to downsize their photos before uploading. File sizes are reduced dramatically and bulk uploads that would take 20 minutes are uploaded in seconds. The time saved by resizing more than makes up for the time spent resizing a photo.

Have a look at this thread on my site: http://www.majorleaguetalk.com/forum...ead.php?t=3939

In that thread you can download a image resizer that will resize entire directories and even convert file formats on the fly.

Yeah alot of people have no idea the size of the images they try to upload and when a server chokes on the image well they dont know and then they keep on uploading more and more images that fail compounding the issue even further.

Thats that I see on alot of sites.

Hi, just wondering if there is a plugin out there or hack that will automatically resize large image files to a default sizes when they are uploaded, just as there are in ebay or google...

No there is not. Only thing to do would be use Imagemagick or alter your PHP settings to allow larger file uploads.
