Ebl_batchupload

saccade · 2006-11-16 12:39:37

On my sites ebl_batchupload is working fine!

And it doesn’t make a difference whether it is running in a root or in a subdirectory.

I only noticed some errors with resizing and generating thumbnails on one installation. (And it had worked correctly before with 0.9.1 on 11th Nov.)
Sending the long debug-text directly.

EDIT: I have to correct myself: With v.1.0.1 in the subdirectory-path it only seems to be correct at first. Images are uploaded and they appear in the image list. They are also in the images directory with the right ID. If i click on “view” they are shown. But they are missing if I chose “Name” or “edit”. The Tab and it’s dialogs are presented, even image file name. But the image is not visible. When I want to delete them it depends on the following

when before I tried to create a thumbnail, there is a warning.
if I uploaded without resize (this didn’t work, but there is a “none” in the list under Thumbnail) it will be deleted.

@Saccade – Was .9 working, and 1.0 not?

@Arengula

Try adding the following into your .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

@theEric

now difficult to say. On 11.Nov everything was ok, I think this was before 1.0 came.
Then I only shortly had 1.0 installed and the updated with 1.01 and tested now with 1.01.
I suppose I didn’t test really with 1.0.

saccade · 2006-11-16 13:09:13

Stepped back to 1.0

and everything is ok again in my subdirectory-installation! :-)

(except now I think have to manually delete the defect images from the database, but thats no problem)

Just for debugging: When I try to delete one of the mis-loaded images, the following message comes:

Warning: unlink(/homepages/mysubdirectory/images/41.jpg) [function.unlink]: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden in /homepages/mysubdirectory/textpattern/include/txp_image.php on line 439

“Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden” = File or directory not found

@ soulship – hostgator

@ TheEric – Thanks for the reply. I’ve updated the .htaccess file and now I get a 403 error but …/textpattern/batchupload is 777

TheEric, quick question for you….

Your plug-in is now working flawlessly for me but the images and the thumbnails look pretty bad when I import them. They look like they are resized out of proportion one way or the other. Are there some tips for making them look better? I tried playing with the resize defaults in the code but they never resize to that default.

What would you recommend (if anything!)?

TheEric · 2006-11-17 14:46:33

Can I see an example? The plugin SHOULD be resizing them, proportionally.

TheEric · 2006-11-17 14:50:36

arengula – in the top lefthand corner of the flash file, does it still say “undefined”? I realize now that you’re getting a security error, where it’s not allowing uploads because it’s unable to authenticate you as a authorized user, and thereby rejecting your uploads.

TheEric,

Go to this link and check out the “Projects” section. Take a look at the Thumbnails there and you can see that they look somewhat grainy. They do not look this way when I resize them locally on my machine to the same specs., only once they are inside of TXP using the plug-in. When I do it locally (using Photoshop) or whatever, they look really good and clear. This could possibly be a problem with TXP and not your plug-in.

Ah! I see.

Yes, Andreas recently let me know that the thumbnails weren’t as “pretty” as they could be. This is something I’m working on for the next release, wherein, a quality setting will be adjustable.

Hopefully I can get done today… if not, most likely Tuesday

it’s not textpatterns fault, Eric wanted to avoid timouts when resizing images and the result is a very fast but not very pretty resizing.

One solutions: find (in function ebl_goresize):

imagecopyresized($thumb, $srcimage, 0,0,0,0, $newwidth, $newheight, $width, $height);

change to

imagecopyresampled($thumb, $srcimage, 0,0,0,0, $newwidth, $newheight, $width, $height);

Beware: it takes more time to resize the images – my experience from writing aba_import_images is that some servers choke if you want to import a whole bunch of images at once. I’m not sure whether ebl_batch_upload does a http request for every image from the flash plugin (that would avoid that timeout problem).

Eric told me that he plans to change the thumbnailing to a better way qualitywise and judging from the plugin so far it will probably kick ass, in the meantime you might use the above explained workaround.

Ups… wrote too long… ;)
